Undefeated high school football team forfeits wins after using ineligible player in different jersey


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. The Missouri High School Activities Association told the newspaper it had accepted Cardinal Ritter’s self-imposed sanctions over the issue. 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. The next week, Jackson was back on the field, but this time with his own name and wearing his normal jersey. Gregory had spoken to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch after Jackson "returned" in Week 2 and rushed for 147 yards.
