The Oakland girls basketball team has forfeited 22 of the 24 games played this season. The TSSAA handed down the penalty after determining a player violated the dual residency clause and was deemed ineligible.
James Evans with Rutherford County Schools says Oakland will also be fined 100-dollars per game for a total of 22-hundred dollars. He adds the TSSAA's letter states they'll notify the schools that the Lady Patriots participated against. They'll be told of the "inadvertent playing of an ineligible player."
The Lady Patriots were 18-6 this season. The player did not participate in the last two games played, but they were losses. Oakland's record is now 0-24.
Due to the fact a minor was involved in what has been deemed an inadvertent playing of an ineligible player, we have chosen not to release her identity.
Oakland will be able to compete in upcoming district games with Stewarts Creek and Siegel as well as post-season play which begins February 15th.
