VHSL's '95 post-season forfeit
It was Wednesday night, Nov. 15th, about 48 hours before the 1st
round of post-season play began, when WDBJ announced on their
11 p.m. newscast that Western District champion & Va's 2nd ranked
AAA team, E.C. Glass, would have to forfeit late-season wins over
Albemarle and Heritage for using an ineligible player (reportedly a
J.V. player who got in for just seven plays in the final two games of
the year).
Glass relinquished their district title to Heritage, which originally
had failed to qualify for the post-season. This led to North Stafford
being knocked out of the post-season before even taking a snap.
The VHSL Division 5 Northwest Regional semi-final pairings had been :
#4 North Stafford at #1 E.C. Glass
#3 Pulaski Co. at #2 Brooke Point.
It became :
#4 E.C. Glass at #1 Brooke Point
#3 Heritage at #2 Pulaski Co.
