Anderson County football self-imposes penalty after minor recruiting violation
Anderson County High School’s football team has been sanctioned for minor recruiting violations by the Tennessee Secondary Schools Athletic Association.
In December, the team posted a photo on social media after ACHS students gathered with student-athletes playing for other schools, to play football.
The school then posted the picture, which wished all current, former and future Mavericks players a Merry Christmas.
The post was reported to the TSSAA and was deemed a violation.
Anderson County, after being informed of the violation, then, self-imposed a penalty.
The disciplinary action will result in the Mavericks forfeiting a preseason scrimmage on Aug. 6 and three spring practice sessions in 2025.
The TSSAA accepted the penalty and commended the school for its cooperation in the matter.
