Goose Creek CISD announced Thursday that Baytown Sterling must forfeit two district volleyball games for playing an ineligible student.  As a result, Sterling must relinquish its District 21-5A title. Channelview now becomes the district champion, while Sterling drops into a second place tie with Galena Park North Shore.

According to a news release from the school district, campus personnel did not file paperwork establishing the residency and the eligibility of the student in question before the season began as required by the UIL.  Once the violations were discovered, Sterling Principal Don Beck reported them to the 21-5A District Executive Committee. On Wednesday, that committee approved a public reprimand of the school.
