Norco forfeits six victories to drop to 0-9 in football

"Norco High's football program has forfeited six victories this season, dropping to 0-9 after a school and district investigation confirmed allegations of ineligible players. The school self-reported the violations to the Southern Section and informed team members and parents on Wednesday of the outcome. Norco is the latest school caught up in an ineligible player scandal that has rocked Southern Section schools this school year."

"From Bishop Montgomery to several schools in the Moore League, the Southern Section has been reviewing transfer paperwork and finding discrepancies, resulting in more than 40 athletes declared ineligible for two years for violating CIF rule 202, which bans providing false information. These allegations remain under investigation, and it's not known what kind of individual punishment might be coming down on players, depending on whether there was a violation of rule 510, banning undue influence, or a rule 202 violation, involving false information provided."

The Southern Section's transfer-paperwork reviews across leagues produced more than 40 athletes declared ineligible for two years under CIF rule 202, which bans providing false information. Allegations remain under investigation and individual punishment will depend on findings related to CIF bylaw 510 (undue influence) or rule 202 (false information). CNUSD confirmed a bylaw 510 violation and pledged continued compliance.
