Garces Memorial High School has vacated four wins from their season following a CIF decision to deny eligibility to standout players Bryce and Carter Hanson. The Central Section announced on Monday that the two brothers' "valid change of residency" status has been changed to "denied" for the remainder of the football season. Under CIF rules, all eligibility information must be true, correct, accurate, and complete.
The Hanson brothers played in all five games, but their eligibility was only granted after transferring from rival Liberty. Garces will now forfeit four wins against Tehachapi, Wasco, Fresno-San Joaquin Memorial, and North. The Rams' record now stands at 1-5, despite winning their last five games. Carter Hanson, a junior, rushed for 400 yards and five touchdowns this season, earning 14 NCAA Division I college offers and ranking among the top 20 running backs in California.
Bryce Hanson, a senior, recorded eight tackles and two interceptions and is committed to Southern Utah. Garces Memorial will play on Thursday night at Centennial.
