Prestonsburg High School was fined 1,000 dollars and was forced to forfeit all of their games from the 2003 season. Allegedly, Prestonsburg let a player play football while underachieving in the classroom. The student/athlete apparently did not have the grades to be playing football, but was allowed to play under the consent of coach John DeRossett. This player was told by DeRossett that he could play as long as he attended summer school and passed that way. Well the student/athlete did not pass summer school and was held back the next year and was not allowed to be a part of the Prestonsburg football program. After hearing that news, the parents took it to KHSAA about him getting to play during the previous season even though he was failing. Obviously the parents won the case and P-burg was forced to forfeit all of their games from that season.
