It wasn't just the ineligible player which he was the fall guy for. It was the illegal scrimmage moreso that did them in when that their star db broke his leg and missed his senior year that did it. His mom sued got paid ALOT. Funny everybody assumes Central would've beat NW in playoffs because they won by 3 points in regular season. A game that came down to the wire. Look at heritage and norland. Vikings won in regular season and were blown out in playoffs. Nobody knows who would've won that playoff game.
