Summary

Hayes Hackney, standout quarterback for Argyle High School in Texas, has been ruled eligible to play after winning his appeal. The University Interscholastic League overturned a previous ineligibility ruling related to a residency dispute. Hackney missed one game due to this decision, but he will return for Argyle's regular season finale against Community. Previously cleared to join Argyle, Hackney led Dallas-area 5A quarterbacks with 2,574 passing yards and 32 touchdown passes before his suspension. The Texas high school football postseason starts in early November as Argyle aims for its third state title.
