Fork Union forfeits pair of early sesaon games
Fork Union Military Academy is going to have to give back two Prep League victories after utilizing an ineligible player.
According to a press release, FUMA’s Prep League record, which was 4-0, is now 2-2 after the Blue Devils used a player who was too old for undergraduate competition in the later stages of two big victories by Fork Union over Norfolk Academy and Hargrave Military.

“This is a hard lesson for out school and our team,“ Lt. Gen. John E. Jackson, Jr., FUMA’s president said in a statement. “But we are confident that modeling those virtures we endeavor to teach is of more value than a win-loss record.“
