A judge's ruling may allow Bellarmine College Preparatory to compete in the Central Coast Section football playoffs after the team was forced to forfeit all of its victories earlier this week.
Bellarmine had secured a postseason berth for the 2026 season before Monday's announcement that the program must vacate every win on its schedule. The Bells last appeared in the CCS playoffs in 2022, when they defeated Menlo-Atherton 30-7.
The San Francisco Chronicle reported Saturday that a judicial decision could reverse the forfeitures and reinstate Bellarmine's playoff eligibility. Details of the ruling and the underlying infraction were not immediately disclosed.
