AUSTIN, TX— The State Executive Committee of the University Interscholastic League met Wednesday to hand down decisions on eligibility of student athletes.
Student athletes from Newton High School, Fort Worth South Hills High School, and DeSoto High School were denied appeals for varsity eligibility, upholding the previous decisions of the district executive committees.
It was determined that a Hillwood Middle School student did not repeat grades for athletic purposes, overturning the previous ruling of the district executive committee.
