Two of Wayne’s best not playing in sectional final
DAYTON — Wayne basketball players Isiah Boddie and Xavier Jones are in warmups on the bench and not playing in the Warriors’ Division I sectional final against Xenia today, March 7, at UD Arena.
Boddie and Jones are two of the better players for Wayne (19-2), which finished No. 1 in the DDN area D-I ratings. Jones, a 6-3 senior, transferred to Wayne in the offseason from Gary, Ind., and Boddie, a 6-2 junior, came to the program this year from Trotwood-Madison.
Both played in Wayne’s sectional win against Belmont on Tuesday. Boddie scored 18 points and Jones added 16 in that game.

And this is a news story? I’d say the story becomes news when you can explain the reason they’re not playing. Typical DDN jumpiong the gun on a story again.

Yeah, I agree with Tim. It works like this. Before the game starts (or at halftime), you get up off your seat, walk over to the bench, ask an asst. coach what the deal is with the two players and add that info to the story. Too eager to get “something” on the web before anyone else and ended up saying almost nothing. It’s now 4:30 and no follow-up to the story. What was the point?

It’s time for the OHSAA to step up to the plate for these kids. It is a great disservice to the kids and the school to keep them in limbo any longer.

The problem is some teams can’t take getting their behinds beat. Northmont got blown out at home and their coach ranks Wayne 11 for tournament seeds. Then we waits until right before the first tournament game and challenges their eligibility. They don’t play in the first round. Investigation clears them. Belmont gets whooped. They wait until right before the Xenia game and file a protest against the same two. By rule the players have to sit until this is reinvestigated. So they miss the Xenia game. Nobody likes a loser, but everyone hates a sore loser.
