*UPDATE with statement from Hanceville*

“Hanceville High School had two softball players deemed ineligible by the AHSAA. Per AHSAA rules, both transfers were required to sit out one calendar year. However, the AHSAA ruled both student-athletes were ineligible because they were not enrolled on the first day of the 2nd semester. The only issue with the players involved was an enrollment date that was too far into the semester and the violation was not considered a major infraction. No recruiting or other illegal activities took place per the AHSAA.”

"On June 6, 2024 a non-paid non-faculty coach was part of a summer league game with the Hanceville High School softball team. Because the non-faculty coach was on the field on June 6 the AHSAA deemed him to be ineligible."

Per the AHSAA …

Hanceville High School fined, forfeits softball games

MONTGOMERY – Hanceville High School’s softball program has been fined and placed on probation for playing ineligible players in violation of the AHSAA Transfer Rule. The school was also found in violation of Rule V. Coaches’ Requirements.
As a result, Hanceville High School’s softball program must forfeit all games won that the ineligible students participated in.
The ineligible players were assessed restitution for the contests they participated in while ineligible. The uncertified coaches are disqualified from coaching at Hanceville High School for a period of one year.
