Tweet Share on Facebook
| AHSFHS.org Report (Oct. 28, 2013) The AHSAA did something many teams wish they could say over the past forty years. They knocked the Vigor Wolves out of the Class 5A state playoffs. It is being reported that the Wolves used an ineligible player during the first five wins this season. They will forfeit wins over Davidson, LeFlore, Williamson, B.C. Rain and Gulf Shores. The Alabama High School Athletic Association determined that a player did not make a bona fide move as set forth in the transfer rules. The AHSAA also placed Vigor on one year of probation and imposed a monetary fine. Gulf Shores moves up to the third slot and will now travel to play Saraland while Leflore grabs the four spot and will play at Jackson next Friday. The news release from the AHSAA: Vigor High School has been fined, placed on probation for one year and ordered to forfeit five varsity football games for a violation of AHSAA transfer rules. The school has used a transfer student during this season in violation of the Bona Fide Move rule. Vigor must forfeit all contests its team won in which the student participated. Football forfeits include wins over non-region opponent Davidson and Class 5A, Region 1 opponents LeFlore, Williamson, B.C. Rain and Gulf Shores. Vigor’s overall record is now 1-8 and its region record is 1-6. The probationary period is a warning that other violations of this nature could bring further sanctions against the school. |
