This year, the 4A division\u00a0was rocked with scandal, as several teams in the semifinals were disqualified after the league conducted unexpected audits.<\/p>\n<p>It all started when the PSAL, which is run by the city Department of Education, reinstated their eligibility office for the first time in four years and began conducting audits towards the end of this year\u2019s season, causing confusion and disappointment for players and coaches alike.<\/p>\n<p>At least three teams were disqualified ahead of games during the semifinals in March. South Shore High School in Canarsie was disqualified due to an age eligibility violation (athletes can play up to their 19th birthday), while Thomas Jefferson High School in East New York was disqualified on an academic eligibility basis. Eagle Academy-Bronx was also disqualified for reasons that remain unclear.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn simple terms \u2013 adults put the long-term future of young people second for momentary high school glory on the court. These adults are not helping students, they are only helping themselves.\u201d said New York City Schools Chancellor David Banks in a statement in March when the disqualifications first came to light.\u00a0\u201cThe goal is to ensure that any issues are identified and dealt with in a timely fashion prior to playoffs, thus avoiding last minute cancellations, which only harm students and their families. Student-athletes across our system deserve role models who uphold the highest levels of integrity and honesty.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But that\u2019s not quite what happened.<\/p>\n<p>Eagle Academy for Young Men at Ocean Hill found themselves affected by the scandal when their final championship game on March 15\u00a0was cancelled the day of. The boys\u00a0varsity team was\u00a0the divisional, borough, and city champions last year and many PSAL fans thought they were poised for another victory\u00a0this year until the audits threw things into disarray.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGoing into the playoffs, we were really playing really well. We won the semifinals game against Brooklyn Collegiate which is a top team, and won by a decent margin,\u201d said Kevin Hamilton Jr., head varsity basketball coach at Eagle Brooklyn. \u201cWe had momentum, we were really confident going into the game, and the ending was unfortunate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Days after the sudden game cancellation, Eagle Brooklyn was formally acknowledged as the championship\u2019s winners, despite not playing the final game. The win was bittersweet for the team, which has been building a\u00a0<a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/4rKA8ZhlUro\" rel=\"noopener\">&#8220;high-octane&#8221;<\/a>\u00a0basketball program for many years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo be crowned the champions was validating for me, I was glad that the guys [were]\u00a0acknowledged for the season that they had,&#8221; said Hamilton. \u201cBut obviously, we would have wanted to win in the traditional way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What was most disappointing for Hamilton was how the controversies\u00a0overshadowed the performance of his players. For example, Jakai Sanders, a star point guard on the team, averaged 17 points, six\u00a0rebounds and 10 assists throughout the season. He recently committed to Siena College.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the interruption to the season, Hamilton said the audits are good for the league in the long run.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Setting a standard for the league in the long term is a good thing,\u201d he said, adding that the PSAL showing that they&#8217;re willing to enforce the rules, makes everybody have to do their jobs.<\/p>\n<p>The DOE and South Shore High School athletic director Pat Trani did not immediately respond to comment for this article.<\/p>\n<div class=\"widget widget-dfp gam widget-inject widget-inject-centre empower-local widget-injected\" data-id=\"834050\" data-widget=\"41\" data-per=\"10\" data-min=\"\" data-path=\"\/21842630800\/NET_Empower_Stories\" data-lazy=\"true\" data-targeting=\"[]\" data-dim-m=\"[1,1]\" data-dim-t=\"[1,1]\" data-dim-d=\"[1,1]\" data-size=\"[1,1]\">\n<div class=\"teads-inread sm-screen\">\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By: Christopher Edwards High school sports can pack more punch and have higher stakes than you think.
