pretty interesting back story on the players in question.
the district committee had two prior ruled the players eligible, but after the last meeting there were rumors that at least one of the superintendents in the district were not going to let this thing go.
today the district committee met and ruled the nellor brothers ineligible. they moved in to mt vernon from loveland, colorado.
here comes the interesting back story. the brothers are living with lynx hawthorne. some might recognize hawthorne's name because he played football for baylor when briles was head coach and after he graduated from baylor he played professional football in....wait for it...italy for art briles.
hawthorne is in mt vernon making a documentary about briles return to texas football.
so how in the world did two brothers from colorado end up in mt vernon living with a former baylor player who went to high school in refugio, texas?
lynx hawthorne's wife is from loveland, colorado.
i haven't heard if she has a family connection to the nellor's, but you would have to think there is something there.
oh, mt vernon says they will appeal to uil so this isn't done yet.
