Bellarmine College Preparatory's football team must forfeit all six victories from the 2026 season after the Central Coast Section (CCS) ruled the San Jose school used an ineligible player.
The decision, announced Monday, removes the Bells from the CCS playoffs, where they had clinched a berth. Bellarmine had defeated Menlo-Atherton 30-7 in the 2022 playoffs, their last postseason appearance before this season.
The ruling was reported by the San Francisco Chronicle on November 4, 2026.
