Carmel coach Craig Johnston's decision not to play Hancock Christian - excuse me - Stallworth Academy of Stockton this Saturday was the right call.
The school has deceived Carmel - starting with its name - as well as Greenfield and Monterey about who they really are.
Johnston made the decision Monday. Greenfield may not be far behind. Monterey still plans to play Stallworth, who has scored 90 points in two games.
But Monterey coach Pete Noble called it a scam.
Stallworth probably does not know about Carmel's decision because it did not return phone calls to Johnston.
Well, it will now.
No, Stallworth didn't lie.
It just didn't divulge who it really was - a first year program that picked up seven players from SAC-Joaquin Section power Franklin High of Stockton.
This team is not your ordinary first year program.
With the start of Mission Trail Athletic League play in 13 days, this was not the final tune-up Carmel was looking for.
This had disaster written all over it.
But beyond that, it's about ethics. Don't tell people you're just trying to build a program when you've landed seven elite athletes.
Shame on you.
