Big news broke Wednesday during national letter of intent day – the Kent-Meridian boys were forced to forfeit SPSL North basketball games because of an eligibility violation.
After losing in a divisional tiebreaker Tuesday, the Royals were expected to play Emerald Ridge in a winner-to-districts, loser-out game Saturday at Puyallup High School. Instead that spot will now go to Kentwood.
