Fla. H.S. Hit With $57K In Fines, Teams Banned After Recruiting Violations

May 3, 2011 /

Oviedo High School has been slammed with fines, firings and sanctions because of player-eligibility violations in its wrestling and volleyball programs that Seminole school officials say are the worst infractions they can recall.

The Florida High School Athletic Association levied $57,000 in fines against the school, plus banned the boys’ wrestling team from participating in any district, regional or state competitions for the next three school years. That’s a crushing blow for the team that is considered among the best in the state.

District officials confirmed Monday that the Oviedo girls’ volleyball team also is on probation after the FHSAA levied numerous sanctions resulting in the school’s athletic director and assistant athletic director losing those positions.
