WCBC News has learned that Fort Hill High School may be having to forfeit several games from their current football season due to an ineligible player. The Allegany County school system received an anonymous call on Thursday that a Fort Hill player did not live in the state of Maryland. Investigation uncovered that the parents of the student had provided false address information and admitted to living in another state. The school board has immediately begun an appeals process to the MPSSAA. School Board President Bob Farrell spoke with WCBC, saying he is not aware of the student's name and that they hope to hear back on the appeal Monday.
