OSG High: Memphis-Ridgeway In A Heap Of Trouble

((HT: WMC-TV))

So, how does an 18-year-old with a GED get back into high school while married to a 34-year-old and help out his basketball team into the playoffs...???

And then get busted...???

McKinzey Sewell was born in Louisiana, went to job corps, got bored with job corps, and wanted to get back into school. And it was his wife who allegedly brought in faked documents to get Sewell into school...

Then, Sewell started dating another woman (more his age) and that when all hell came out...

Here's coverage from MyFoxMemphis...


The Memphis School District released a statement: “It has come to our attention that an ineligible player played in the closing minutes of the Region 8-AAA semi-finals against Whitehaven High School. Ridgeway High School reported this information to the Tennessee Secondary School Athletic Association (TSSAA). Ridgeway HS has forfeited that game and has been removed from the tournament playoffs.”

And the story has spiraled out of control where Sewell has been listed as 22 years old, a gang member in his days in Louisiana, and even responsible for a Ridgeway assistant coach's death.
