Hoover Wins, But Holding It's Breath On Whether It Will Have to Forfeit Four Wins

Hoover clinched the Region 6 championship Friday night...or did it?

Hoover, the #2 team in the latest 6A Alabama High School Football Rankings, beat Homewood 34-20, which improved the Bucs to 6-1 overall and 6-0 in the region. However, that could all change if the Alabama High School Athletic Association rules that the Bucs top receiver Tristan Purifoy, who transfered during the summer from Hanceville, was ineligible in four of the teams wins.

Forfeiting those victories would take Hoover's 6-1 mark and make it 2-5...thus ending the team's chances of playing in the post-season.

Of course all of this comes on the heels of the grade-fixing scandal that has many in the community and state questioning head coach Rush Propst's future. On Thursday, Hoover City Councilman Gene Smith recommended that Propst be placed on administrative leave in the wake of the investigative report that found grade-fixing had occured and that the coach seemed to be having an alleged affair with a former assistant principal, who stepped down after being named as a key person in the investigation.

The the 68-page report, which you can read by clicking here, also brought into question a "second family" that Propst supports in Pell County.
