A top Missouri high school football team forfeited all wins from an undefeated 2019 season and the program's head coach was fired as part of self-imposed sanctions after it was discovered the squad was using an ineligible player wearing a different jersey.
**SNIP**
Cardinal Ritter self-reported the use of an ineligible player to the state’s high school sports governing body Tuesday, according to the Post-Dispatch. The issue stems from the school using a player who was supposed to be suspended for the first game of the season but played anyway using a different name.
Junior Bill Jackson, who was ejected from the 2018 Class 3 state championship game, was set to be suspended for the team’s first game of the 2019 season. However, a player, who later was identified as Jackson, appeared in a No. 24 jersey for the team’s first game. For the charade, the player was identified during the contest as freshman Marvin Burks. The next week, Jackson was back on the field, but this time with his own name and wearing his normal jersey.
Jackson’s unique tattoos apparently gave away the scam.

Full title - Undefeated high school football team forfeits wins after using ineligible player in different jersey
Obama should get involved as this was obviously an honest mistake.
Coach and player both have a future with the FSU Crimi’noles.
Moral of the story: When you have the wrong player on your team you even lose when you win.
Catholic school... kudos to them for self reporting the case.
Junior in high school and his “unique tattoos” gave him away.
The ENTIRE TEAM, Coaching Staff, Cheer Squad, and Most Parents, ALL knew about the scam!
Who finally did the Right thing?
Coaches lost track of what was important
Barry Soetoro was ineligible, so they put Barack Obama on the team in his place.
“...suspended for the first game of the season but played anyway using a different name.”
Sounds like future Rat material.
I was going to comment on how a junior in high school is legally able to get tattooed without parental permission and then I remembered my time working in a juvenile prison. They all (junior high/high school age) had prison-style tats. Not saying that’s the case with this kid but it might explain his ink.
Catholic school... kudos to them for self reporting the case.

You don’t think they all knew about it after game 1 but magically stayed silent?
I’m guessing they were helped along with their decision by someone telling them they were about to be exposed.
Once the tattoos gave it away. The self-reporting was damage control. No moral values involved.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Fifth grade was the best four years of his life.
That’s not a good analogy, neither Barry or Ozero were good at anything!
They.pulled a Bobby Valentine!
Kind of like the way the Catholic church self-reports all the pedophiles that populate their priesthood?
Puhleese!
I knew numerous Juniors that were not normal Junior age.
Inner city retards...
Whats the big deal? College football players are nearly 100% fake students too
