The meeting originally scheduled for Monday between the Maine Principals’ Association and Cheverus High School officials at which the MPA was reportedly going to ask Cheverus to give up its 2010 Class A state boys’ basketball championship was postponed.

A new date for the meeting has not been set, but MPA Executive Director Richard Durost said Monday the meeting is still expected to take place, .

Durost did not confirm that the meeting will be about the disputed championship. A report earlier this month by WGME-TV said MPA and Cheverus officials had scheduled a meeting for Aug. 20, at which time the MPA could ask Cheverus to renounce its state championship because it used an ineligible player during the season.

If Cheverus does give up the title, it could be offered to Edward Little High School, which lost to Cheverus, 55-50, in the championship game. But it is not clear whether Edward Little would choose to accept it.

Late in the 2009-10 season, the MPA ruled Cheverus senior guard Indiana Faithfull, a transfer student from Australia, had used the eight semesters of high school eligibility the MPA permits for participants in high school athletics.  Faithfull had to sit out the Stags’ final five games of the regular season.

Just hours before Cheverus played its first-round game in the tournament, Faithfull’s family was granted an injunction which allowed him to play in all three games of the regionals and the state final. He was named Most Valuable Player at regionals and went on to score a game-high 23 points in the state title game. He was later named the state’s Mr. Basketball.

Two weeks after Cheverus won the title, the MPA appealed the injunction. In June, 2010, Faithfull filed a complaint with the Maine Human Rights Commission that the MPA had discriminated against him when it didn’t let him play. An MHRC investigator’s report said Faithfull had reasonable grounds to claim discrimination, but the commission split, 2-2, reverting the case back to the court.

Last spring, a Cumberland County Superior Court judge reversed the previous ruling and lifted the temporary restraining order. Durost said in March, 2010 Cheverus would forfeit the title if the MPA won the case.
