Longview to forfeit win against Evangel...

Longview athletic director Pat Collins confirmed the Longview football program will forfeit their 52-22 victory against Shreveport Evangel.

Apparently, after checking his roster following the Evangel game, head coach John King discovered a player, who was on the roster who no longer had eligibility, played in the fourth quarter, one play.

Collins said Longview self-reported the violation, and it will go before the district committee.

If the forfeit stands, Longview's record will drop to 3-2.

Longview athletic director Pat Collins, appearing on David Smoak's Sports Talk on KTBB Radio said, "this was an honest mistake, but we want to do what's right, and I met with the Marshall superintendent, who is our district chair, and told them of our violation."

No, the coach did not do the right thing. He should have well know before the game that he had an inelgible man. That's part of his job. There was a breakdowm in the school system. The coach let the whole team down.

That's where you're wrong.  The coach made a mistake in letting the kid play, but he did the right thing afterwards.  This is a great lesson to all those young men...if you mess up, you gotta fess up.
