FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
AUSTIN, TX — The University Interscholastic League received a report from Dallas Highland Park High School regarding its use of an ineligible player in the boys conference 5A Division II state championship soccer game on Friday, April 11th. Highland Park staff discovered the ineligible player following the conclusion of the state championship game, and after an investigation by Highland Park administration, the ineligibility was confirmed.
