Two DeKalb high schools violate eligibility rules, forfeit games
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The football teams at Stone Mountain and Lithonia high schools will each forfeit four games as punishment for fielding ineligible players.
The Georgia High School Association issued the sanctions, which include a $700 fine for Lithonia High, in the wake of an investigation last week by the DeKalb School System, a system spokesman said Thursday.
"We take great pride in our athletic programs and are very disappointed to learn of these violations," the spokesman, Dale Davis, said in a news release. Stone Mountain High played one ineligible athlete and Lithonia fielded several, he said.
