BREAKING NEWS: Muir's season over after team forfeits 20 games and will miss the playoffs ...
The Muir High School boys basketball team's postseason is over before it even got started. You can forget about the Mustangs' Pacific League title, too.
Due to not being able to prove a valid change of residence for one of its players, Muir has forfeited 20 games and will be ineligible for postseason competition.
The Mustangs finished the regular season at 24-2 overall and 13-1 in the Pacific League, and in the process halted rival Pasadena's nine-year run as league champions.
Prior to Sunday's CIF-Southern Section playoff pairings announcements, the Pacific League resubmitted its order of finish to reflect Muir's forfeitures.
More to come ...

Who knew that the team Miguel had stroked more than a guitar was actually ineligible and basically cheated to try and beat Pasadena High. What desperation drives people to do. I hope Miuel is not sitting with his granda’s woven blanket, eating smores, and going through tissues like a broken hearted girl. But the most deserving team did earn the Pacific League as it has for over nine years straight. Good work Pasadena High School Basketball Team led by Tim Tucker. I loved your exclamation point at Muir, the other Dawg’s House!
Gamal Smalley, enough said!
