CIF Southern Section assistant commissioner Rob Wigod (who oversees football) told me late Thursday night that the Southern Section office had cleared Poly transfer quarterback Dylan Lagarde for immediate varsity eligibility for the Griffins.
Apparently Lagarde's family, during a meet in the Southern Section office in Los Alamitos, produced the necessary documentation to that he and his family had made a residential move (from Torrance to Rossmoor) and granted his eligibility with Coach John Barnes' program.
Lagarde made his varsity debut with the Griffins Thursday night, throwing for 195 yards (on 10 completions in 21 attempts) and running for two scores while playing approximately 3 1/2 quarters of an eventual 52-0 Sunset League victory over Marina at Westminster High.
The Griffins face unbeaten and top-ranked (in the Pac-5 Division) Edison Friday night at Huntington Beach High.
With all that being said, How was he ever eligible to play for Poly? I think Poly needs to be investigated for illegle recruiting.
Living in Torrance and playing for Poly - people can be upset about him playing for Los Al, but at least he lives within their boundaries (if he really lives where he claims to be living).
yay right...torrance, how did he get to poly??
somethings a foot..quartrbacks quitting??
even in baseball an softball addresses are phony
If he moved from Torrance to Rossmoor, then how was he eligible to play at Poly when he was living in Torrance?
