Apparently, word came down today from the TSSAA that W.Tn. power, Milan Bulldogs have to forfiet there 1st 5 games this year for playing an illegal player...The player, a transfer lineman from Univ School of Jackson- USJ, apparently gave a family members address and his family never actually moved. Coach Jeff Morris said in an interview that the school had no knowledge of the wrong doing and thought they had dotted there I's and crossed there T's..

 

Coach Morris is a cousin to Mayfield Head Coach Joe Morris...They were currently 5-1 on the season and 3-0 in district play and ranked 5th in Tn AA...They are now 1-5 and 1-2 in district play with district games remaining against Huntington, Martin Westview, Trinton Peabody and Dresden..The 1st 3, all ranked in the state or have been at one time.

 

Tough break for the Bulldogs...They may not even make the playoffs now..

It happens. It happened to Danville last year.

Not to be too picky, but it was actually 2004 that Danville was affected by a similar situation. They had to forfeit wins over Garrard County and Lincoln County. Ironically, Danville also picked up a forfeit win over Highlands that season.

 

Second, did any Kentucky teams play Milan this season? Just curious how this could potentially play out in a postseason tiebreaker?

No Ky teams have played them...Mayfield played them in a preseason scrimmage and do every year...
