Following a thorough investigation conducted by the Rochester City School District administration, and subsequent review by Section V and NYSPHSAA leadership, it has been determined that a number of East High School student-athletes were misidentified as a disqualified player following the Section V Class B football semifinal on Saturday, November 7.

This determination was made following the submission and review of clear and compelling evidence in accordance with NYSPHSAA rules and regulations. Section V appreciates the Rochester City School District administration's prompt and thorough efforts to investigate the incident and provide the necessary documentation to ensure an accurate and appropriate resolution.

In accordance with the NYSPHSAA Sportsmanship Rule, any student-athlete determined to have been disqualified remains subject to the required suspension of the next two consecutive halves of competition.
