Maryland high school faces fallout from player eligibility issues

Wise High School's football team has been forced to forfeit four victories following an eligibility violation involving a player's residency requirements. The team's record dropped from 8-0 to 4-4 just before the start of the playoffs. Despite an appeal to the State Athletic Association, the decision stands. This marks the second time in two years the school has faced such penalties, following a similar incident with the boys' basketball team last season.
