School officials here have appealed a North Dakota High School Activities Association ruling that coaches broke rules by recruiting volleyball players from nearby Munich.
Langdon coaches met with three Munich players and their family members in a Munich home in February, according to Langdon Superintendent Rich Rogers. However, Rogers said, Munich players and their parents had already indicated to Langdon coaches that they wanted out of a cooperative agreement for volleyball with Cando, Bisbee-Egeland and Starkweather.
Cando, Bisbee-Egeland, Starkweather and Munich form the North Star volleyball co-op team.
Cando forwarded a letter to the activities association about the alleged recruiting. Sherm Sylling, the group's executive secretary, said he talked with administrators, coaches and parents and determined a rules infraction had occurred.
Langdon's appeal is to be heard by the association's executive committee Tuesday morning in Valley City. If the ruling is upheld, Langdon can appeal to the entire association board of directors.
Penalties can range from reprimands to a suspension of teams.
Rogers acknowledged that a mistake was made when the coaches visited the players and parents in the Munich home.
However, "We're stating that there was no intent to encourage dissolving of the present co-op or trying to influence them into a new one," he said. "We feel that was already in the works."
Munich has requested that the activities association dissolve its co-op with Cando, Bisbee-Egeland and Starkweather in volleyball. The school also has submitted a request to co-op with Langdon in the sport. Langdon also has done the paperwork for the co-op.
If Langdon wins its appeal, the requests could be voted on later Tuesday.
Cando Superintendent Mark Lindahl said he has received many calls from administrators and coaches who are following the case.
"This isn't college," Lindahl said. "College coaches come right into your living room and talk, and that's what happened."
Langdon has advanced to the Class B volleyball tournament nine straight seasons.
"We've had a good program and our girls have worked hard, our coaches have worked hard," Rogers said. "We hate to be in the center of controversy."

</span>i think what they are trying to do is put a big umbrella of punishment over the school...not necessarily punish the team or the coaches...but to broad stroke it. the indiscretions of a few make for punishment of all...happens all the time. ÂÂ
that said, if i was a parent of a langdon senior (or a junior, whatever, the people that had no part in it shouldn't be punished) that had no part of the recruiting and my kid was being punished, i'd try to get my kid transfered or something (though i don't know how that works...if you transfer over the summer do you still have to sit out for a while?)

Not like they have very much to start with...

your only arguement was against private schools so maybe you should be eating your words rather than being so cocky!

Wo wo wo, I never said it wasn't income. But it's not like coaches live off there coaching salary. It is usually just a extra couple thousand dollars off the side of the teaching salary. You will never see someone just coach in North Dakota high school sports.
And by the way, how did you know I'm a famer? haha:P

this isn't about one player or family though...it is about an entire town that wants to change coops...the paperwork was already filed with the NDHSAA before there were any meetings. I need more information before I can really form an opinion on this one.luvmy3gbb1wr wrote:the coaches knew what they were doing......the kids knew what was going on......if you meet privately like that......you know what you're doing......in this day, no one is that stupid about recruitment........i'm afraid i believe there should be some punishment for the kids as well.....they and their families are just as guilty as the coaches.....but the kids still allowed to shift to langdon and play even tho they also violated the rules.....that's wrong......over on the other message board, who's big in 2007 vb, tadam was bragging about wirth going to langdon on june 7.......so people knew what they were doing......
