佐治亚州不败高中橄榄球队涉用不合格球员，州协会确认调查
佐治亚州高中协会11月5日确认，正在调查一宗举报，称保持不败的牛顿高中橄榄球队涉嫌使用不合格球员。协会执行主任蒂姆·斯科特当天向《亚特兰大宪法报》证实收到相关举报，但根据协会章程，调查不会在州季后赛结束前完成，也不会提前作出裁决。牛顿高中位于科文顿市，本赛季以9胜0负进入常规赛最后一周，创下校队历史上最佳开局。根据协会规则，被查实使用不合格球员的球队，须放弃该球员参加的每一场比赛的胜绩。过去十年间，协会已因资格违规迫使至少五个橄榄球项目放弃至少六场比赛。斯科特提醒不要预先认定牛顿高中将受到处罚，指出提交给协会的举报经常最终不会导致处罚。目前牛顿高中仍按计划于11月6日对阵南格威内特，结束常规赛，随后进入11月13日开打的佐治亚州季后赛。

Georgia's Undefeated Newton High Football Team Investigated Over Alleged Ineligible Player
The Georgia High School Association confirmed on November 5 that it is investigating a complaint alleging that the undefeated Newton High School football team used an ineligible player. Executive Director Tim Scott confirmed to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution that day that the association had received the complaint, but said that under GHSA bylaws the investigation will not be completed, and no ruling issued, before the state playoffs end. Newton High, located in Covington, entered the final week of the regular season at 9-0, the best start in school history. Under association rules, a team found to have used an ineligible player must forfeit every game in which that player participated. Over the past decade, the association has forced at least five football programs to forfeit at least six games over eligibility violations. Scott cautioned against presuming Newton will be penalized, noting that complaints submitted to the association often do not result in sanctions. Newton remains scheduled to close the regular season against South Gwinnett on November 6 before the Georgia playoffs begin on November 13.
