Narbonne

The City Section announced Wednesday that the Narbonne High football team has been banned from the playoffs for the 2025, 2026 and 2027 seasons because of rule violations, and all the school’s sports programs have s been placed on probation through the 2027-28 school year.

Narbonne also has to vacate its 2024 football title.

Narbonne’s football team was found to have ineligible players last season, but the revelation came after the playoff seedings had been announced, forcing the City Section to let the Gauchos compete.

Narbonne also was punished for ineligible players in 2018 and 2019.

The City Section has told Narbonne it can appeal the postseason ban after the 2025-26 school year “depending upon the school’s documentation of successful compliance of all CIF bylaws.”
