Reporter it makes me feel i have put a lot of work in and not for nothing, but just a lot of work has been wasted because i was getting somebody to play all 10 games and now i have to wait and it is disappointing. Eric jenkins must sit out five games this season for Eagle Crest High School and in january he transferred from Lutheran High School in parker. His family just could not afford the my main hope would be that i could sit out zero and play the fulltime. His father has been working with the school on a hardship waiver and is appeal to the Colorado High School activities association. Opening up our personal life like now is embarrassing because there is nothing else we can give them they have not asked for that proves it is a hardship case. They told us hardships must be unforeseen, unavoidable, and standards. His exact words were when you put your kid in private school you can foresee having to pull him out for financial reasons. I said is there an appeal process and he said no you are out of appeals and this is a final decision. Eagle crests first game is next thursday. Spin any person can be denied under this rule and that is one of the big contentions. I have played football my whole life and to know i ca year of high school is really disappointing to me. That was jeff todd, the family does still have ways to appeal and the Jenkins Family told us the plan to do just that and their goal is to get eric back on the field next week.
