Narbonne’s girls basketball team won’t get its hard-earned shot at an L.A. City Section Open Division championship on Saturday, all because it decided to ‘think pink’ with its uniforms in its semifinal win last Saturday.
The L.A. City Section announced Monday that Narbonne would forfeit its 57-52 semifinal win over View Park and be immediately removed from the playoffs, all because the team wore pink letters and numbers on their jerseys in Saturday’s win.
Narbonne had been scheduled to face Palisades in the City final on Saturday night.
According to Article 1305 in the L.A. City Section Goldbook, “Uniform colors may only be a combination of the official school colors as listed in the Board of Managers Gold Book” and adds that “Penalties will include probation and forfeiture of contests.”
