BATON ROUGE - Sunday, the LHSAA reinstated the U-High football team's wins after revoking them due to an ineligible player being on the team. 

On Nov. 5, the LHSAA revoked the team's wins, making their record go from 7-2 to 0-9. Sunday morning, when announcing the playoff brackets, the association said it would reinstate the school's wins until the legal matter was resolved, returning the school's record to 8-2.

The forfeit of eight of its games came after rumors circulated about U-High being investigated for having a possible ineligible player, The Advocate reports. The LHSAA does not provide information about sanctions to the media.

U-High filed a temporary restraining order against the LHSAA requiring it to withdraw the imposed penalties. 

The Cubs are the No. 2 seed in Division II Select and get a first-round bye in the state playoffs.
