You responded indicating that Jon Blackstone and your- <br /> self were planning on coaching a girls team in our program. <br /> I then responded with a second letter dated April 21, 1981 to Mr. Jon Blackstone <br /> indicating that our department would not accept your "hand selected" team in our <br /> Jr. Girls league as they were too old for our Jr. Girls league. The eligibility <br /> for our Jr. Girls league is girls in grades 7 - 9 as of September, 1981 . <br /> Following my letter dated April 21 , 1981, you registered your team for the Senior <br /> Girls league on April 23, 1981 listing yourself as coach of the "Flyers" softball <br /> team. As of April 23, 1981 your team was registered and sanctioned through the state <br /> as a Sr. Girls softball team. <br /> Our department then sponsored a playoff for the Sr. Girls league to determine which <br /> Sr. Girls team would be entered in the State Tournament. As you' re aware, your team <br /> did not win the playoffs a Steve Paynes team was sent to the State Tournament. <br />
