The East Lincoln Mustangs boys' basketball team was forced to forfeit their first round win in the 2A NCHSAA tournament and ended their season early because of a ineligible player.
Coach Neil Hodges said in an e-mail that a player's physical had expired on Feb. 12. The team was not aware of this until Feb. 23 (the day after their first round game) and self-reported the case to the NCHSAA.
The Mustangs (19-8, 10-4 Southern Piedmont Conference) beat East Burke 76-60 on Monday and would have advanced to play Berry Academy in the second round.
Berry beat East Burke 72-29 last night.
