Woodstock high school wrestler barred from competing reinstated after legal battle
A suburban student-athlete who was barred from competing for all four years has been reinstated after taking the case to court.
The Marian Central Catholic High School student started his freshman year here in the fall.
Passionate about wrestling, he was devastated when the Illinois High School Association (IHSA) ruled him ineligible to compete based on where he lives.
But here’s the catch: she is the wrestling coach’s mom.
When the situation was reported to IHSA, the organization suspended Coach Jordan Blanton for one year and Mastny for all four.
