SUDANESE STUDENTS CAN PLAY, SCHOOL ON PROBATION

BLOOMINGTON, Ill. (AP) — The Illinois High School Association ruled Monday that four Sudanese students can play sports, but placed their suburban Chicago high school on probation and said the foundation that brought the athletes to the U.S. took advantage of them.

The three basketball players and one cross-country runner, all juniors at Mooseheart High School in Batavia, had worried about the IHSA's final decision and what it would mean for their dreams of obtaining college scholarships, earning degrees and returning home to help rebuild their war-torn country.

The IHSA, which governs the state's interscholastic sports, got involved after the coach of a rival high school's basketball team raised questions about A-HOPE, an Indiana-based foundation that paid for the four to come to the United States.

  2. And we DO NOT have students in this country that need scholarships for college education. Then they could help kids in AMERICA.
