Emory and Henry forfeits '07 wins Emory and Henry announced it would forfeit all four of its wins from the 2007 season for using an ineligible player. Athletic director Bob Johnson told the Tri-Cities News: "It was just a breakdown in communication. Normally, we have these lists of kids who are not eligible to play, and we missed this one. "In fairness to the registrar ... I mean, it was a perfect storm. ... There are levels that should have caught it." Old Dominion Athletic Conference commissioner Brad Bankston told the paper: "Clearly there was no malicious intent in this. Obviously, in retrospect, we all wish that the communication lines had been a little bit cleaner. But I was very pleased with everything that Emory and Henry did on their part." Emory and Henry was 4-6, 1-5 in the Old Dominion Athletic Conference. The Wasps had beaten Ferrum, Newport News, Methodist and Hampden-Sydney. The name of the ineligible player was not released. |
