The school was informed by the Missouri State High School Activities Association Wednesday morning their district title was forfeited due to 3 players participating in a charity volleyball event Saturday October 21. The violation was characterized as ‘Organized Non-School Competition-Same Season/Same Sport’.
Houston Schools immediately appealed the decision but the appeal was denied.
