Athletic Director -

Chad Edeker

September 9, 2013

WACO High School is reporting that they played an ineligible student per the IAC 36.15(2), Scholarship Rule. The individual played in both of our first two football games, August 30th vs Columbus and September 6 vs. North Mahaska. We understand that this was incorrect and will be forfeiting the two contests. Since WACO lost the game vs. Columbus, the score will remain. The score of the WACO vs. N. Mahaska game will be officially changed to 0-1 lost for WACO. All stats from both games will still be recognized. Only the win-loss records will change. This individual, along with two others, were identified by the Head Coach at the start of practice on August 12 as not being eligible. As the weeks of preseason practice continued, he forgot about the status of this player as he was not a varsity player. The athlete was then put into the game in the second half of each of the two reported games. The JV coaching staff was not aware of the status of this individual. In the future, I as AD, will make sure that all coaching staffs identify these individuals and make sure they do not participate in interscholastic competitions. Our principal will also double check the list and check with the coaching staff of each sport so they know who is not eligible.
