Lewisville High School quarterback ruled ineligible

Lewisville High School, ranked No. 13 in Texas Class 6A, must forfeit its first three non-district games following a ruling that starting quarterback Laykon Brassfield is ineligible for varsity competition.

A District 5-6A Executive Committee determined by a 7-0 vote that Brassfield did not meet University Interscholastic League (UIL) criteria for a bona fide residence in the Lewisville Independent School District. The committee found that while the family used an Argyle ISD address to enroll younger siblings, they utilized an RV and an apartment in Lewisville for Brassfield’s enrollment. A separate 5-2 vote concluded that the move was not made for athletic purposes.

As a result of the ruling, Lewisville’s season record changes from 3-0 to 0-3. Brassfield, who recorded 734 passing yards and 14 touchdowns this season, is expected to appeal the decision to the UIL State Executive Committee for a residency waiver.
