North Lincoln High School’s varsity women’s basketball team has been ordered to forfeit all but two of its wins, potentially shaking up the picture for the upcoming state playoffs.
North Lincoln came into this week as one of the top teams in the state with a record of 18-4. They were the #3 ranked 5A team in North Carolina, according to MaxPreps. On Wednesday, the Knights’ record was changed to 2-21, with 17 of those losses counting as forfeits.
The reasons for the forfeits have not been made public as the NCHSAA does not comment on forfeits.
The forfeit will not impact Alexander Central (21-2) who defeated the Lady Knights 69-57 on December 2nd.
