Fairview awaits KHSAA ruling

Staff report The Independent


WESTWOOD — The Kentucky High School Athletic Association confirmed on Tuesday that it received a letter from Fairview on Monday regarding an investigation pertaining to the possible ineligibility of a student-athlete who played for the football team last season and part of this season.

According to KHSAA commissioner Julian Tackett, the organization is currently reviewing all information.

Fairview school officials expect a ruling this week.

The school has acknowledged that sanctions could involve forfeits and a potential postseason ban.

If the Eagles are kept out of the playoffs, it would not affect this Friday’s game at Gamble Montessori in Cincinnati, said head coach Nathan McPeek.

McPeek has resigned, effective at season’s end.
