Shelby Herrington played for the Brady boys' team the past two seasons, but with the creation of the Brady/Trinity girls' program this year, the New Hampshire Interscholastic Athletic Association declared her ineligible to play with the boys.
CONCORD - A judge's ruling has allowed a female hockey player to continue playing with the Bishop Brady High School boys' team, rather than with a girls' cooperative team with players from Bishop Brady and Trinity High School of Manchester.
Shelby Herrington played for the Brady boys' team the past two seasons, but with the creation of the Brady/Trinity girls' program this year, the New Hampshire Interscholastic Athletic Association declared her ineligible to play with the boys.
Herrington challenged that decision, and on Friday Merrimack County Superior Court Judge Richard McNamara ruled that she could continue to play for the boys' team through at least its first three games of the season, which opens Wednesday. McNamara said he will rule by Dec. 19 whether the NHIAA is within its rights to keep Herrington off the team she played for the past two seasons.
