Statement on Regis Jesuit girls basketball

The following is a statement in regard to an invitation Regis Jesuit girls basketball received to play in a postseason tournament:

“Under the Colorado High School Activities Association bylaws, playing in a tournament outside the sport’s season is not allowed. Regis Jesuit was provided with the option of competing as a club team at the event. But, under CHSAA bylaws, they would be prohibited from competition as a high school team after this Saturday’s state championship game. The bylaws do not provide an option for a waiver of that rule.”
