HS Postseason Ban Overturned After Eligibility Hearing

Courtney Cameron Headshot

On Tuesday, the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association called for a hearing to investigate the eligibility of Wayne Hills varsity football players Hunter and Tyler Hayek. Claims of ineligibility were based on the assertion that the brothers transferred to the Wayne Hills school district in October of last year without registering a suitable change of residence. Evidence to these claims was provided by driver’s licenses showing a previous address in Woodland park, and a voter registration for the boys’ father under the same outdated address.

The Wayne Hills football team was initially banned from postseason play contingent on the findings of the five-hour hearing at NJSIAA headquarters in Robbinsville. The NJSIAA eligibility appeals committee voted five to one in favor of Wayne Hills after hearing evidence from the team’s legal representation, which presented utility bills and a lease showing the appropriate address, as well as several eye-witness accounts of the Hayek family’s home in Wayne Hills.
