Skyline forfeits district win over Mansfield Legacy in football

Skyline had to forfeit its 35-16 win over Mansfield Legacy on Sept. 22, Legacy football coach Jeff Hulme confirmed Thursday.

Hulme said Skyline self-reported that it played a player in the first half of the Legacy game who had been ejected from the previous contest. The player was not eligible to play in the first half because of the previous ejection.

“They did it the right way and did the right thing,” Hulme said of Skyline self-reporting the issue.
