The Tennessee Secondary School Athletic Association has ruled senior quarterback Cash Bandy eligible to play for Bradley Central.
Bandy, who threw for 177 yards and two touchdowns for Cleveland in last week’s season-opening win against Clinton, transferred to rival Bradley Central on Monday. Bradley Central officials received the ruling Wednesday afternoon.
With the season-ending knee injury to Tyler Cook in last week’s loss to McMinn County leaving Bradley shorthanded at quarterback, Bandy is expected to start for the Bears on Friday when they host Tyner. Cook got hurt on the opening drive of the season-opening game last Thursday.
In his absence, Bradley’s offense struggled to find any rhythm with two undersized freshmen forced into action in the eventual 16-13 loss.
“We are glad to have the ruling behind us and look forward to having Cash as part of our team this season,” Bears coach Damon Floyd said.
