Ashton Williamson is fully eligible.
The star guard, who is ranked as the No. 3 sophomore in Indiana by Prep Hoops, will appear in his first varsity game for 21st Century on Friday night, changing the landscape of Class A Sectional 49 at Kouts.
Williamson was initially denied full eligibility by the IHSAA after transferring from Calumet to 21st Century earlier this school year. Instead, he was granted limited eligibility, meaning he could only participate in junior varsity contests.
That decision was reversed Friday after his family, alongside Crown Point-based lawyer Michael Jasaitis, appealed the original ruling and was able to have it overturned by the state s Case Review Panel.
