Guthrie’s appeal of the Oklahoma Secondary Schools Activities Association’s ruling on Clint Simek is on the agenda for Wednesday’s board of directors meeting.

Simek was ruled ineligible Thursday after the OSSAA found that his move from Prague was not “bona fide.”

Simek’s family moved to Guthrie in February, but still owned their previous home in Prague and another family member had been living there.

The Bluejays went undefeated and won District 5A-1 before Simek was ruled ineligible. The ruling forced Guthrie to forfeit eight wins, which made its record 2-8. Carl Albert, Ada and Deer Creek all moved up in the district standings and El Reno entered the playoffs as the fourth seed.

Wednesday’s board of directors meeting begins at 9 a.m., but Simek’s hearing may not come until the afternoon. Guthrie’s appeals make up the last two items on the agenda’s “School Problems” section, the fourth section on the agenda. Items on the “School Problems” section of the agenda don’t have times attached to them, but the last item on the preceding section is scheduled for 1 p.m.
