Whitehaven football forfeits three wins, still eligible for TSSAA football playoffs

Whitehaven football has forfeited three games for the use of an ineligible player, according to a TSSAA letter sent to the school that was obtained by The Commercial Appeal on Nov. 13. According to the letter, Whitehaven "allowed a student to participate in three contests as an ineligible player because of the terms of a court-ordered restraining order." The Tigers forfeited games against Munford, Fairley and Houston. All three were non-region contests and while Whitehaven's record falls from 8-2 to 5-5, its TSSAA football playoff status remains intact because the games forfeited did not change region standings. Whitehaven travels to Ravenwood (9-2) for a Class 6A second-round game on Nov. 13. TSSAA Bylaws Article Ill Section 13 states: "If a student is ineligible according to TSSAA rules but is permitted to participate in interscholastic competition contrary to such TSSAA rules but in accordance with the terms of a court restraining order or injunction against his/her school and/or the TSSAA, and that injunction is subsequently voluntarily vacated, stayed, reversed or finally determined by the courts that injunctive relief is not or was not justified or expires without further judicial determination, those actions stipulated in Section 12 and 14 shall be taken."
