One is illegal equipment (absent a waiver) under NFHS rules. The other is not our concern.

Absent being explicitly told "he/she is not allowed to play" by my state association, I am not forbidding anyone from playing on the basis of eligibility concerns due to state association rules. That is the coaches' and administrators' job, and if they try and make it my job, I will tell them "you need to take it up with the SCHSL, that is not my crew's business."

Hell, I don't even know my state's rules for stuff like this.
