Michael Carmody (3) of Mars takes a 3-point shot over Chartiers Valley's Sean Banas in their WPIAL Class 5A basketball semifinal Tuesday night. Carmody scored 27 points in the Planets' 59-50 victory.

PITTSBURGH — No final decision will be made on the PIAA Boys Basketball Tournament eligibility of Mars senior Michael Carmody until Thursday morning.

The Carmody family — including Mars boys basketball coach Rob Carmody, Michael’s father — appealed WPIAL disciplinary action against Michael during a hearing before the district’s board of directors Wednesday afternoon.

“We will be informed of the final decision at 10 a.m. Thursday,” Coach Carmody said. “I thought the hearing went well, but I have no idea which way this is going to go.”

Michael Carmody was called for an intentional foul in the third quarter of Friday night’s WPIAL 5A championship game. He also questioned an official on the court and kicked a basketball when no foul was called on the game-ending play of the Planets’ 52-51 loss to Laurel Highlands.

“Michael stood up before the board and apologized,” his father said. “My wife and I are proud of the way he handled himself today. He is a competitive athlete. The board needed to see the kind of kid he is off the basketball court and the football field. They saw that today.”
