James Clemens football must pay fine, forfeit win following AHSAA violation

MADISON, Ala. (WHNT) — James Clemens High School’s football program must forfeit a win after violating an AHSAA rule, the association said.

The violation of the AHSAA Academic Rule occurred when James Clemens played an ineligible player. The association said the violation was self-reported.

The Jets must forfeit the game they won where the ineligible player participated. They were also fined and placed on probation.

JC’s football team was 2-1 on the season, with wins against Gardendale and Huntsville on top of a loss to Bob Jones. The AHSAA did not clarify whether the forfeited win would be the Gardendale or Huntsville victory.
