The violations involved at least one volleyball player and five wrestlers and include  falsifying addresses, athletes transferring to Oviedo and living with assistant coaches in order to circumvent location mandates, and recruiting through a club program run by the volleyball coach. The FHSAA also banned the wrestling team from regional, district, and state competition for three years. The volleyball team was put on probation for two years.

In November 2019, football coach Matt Dixion was forced to resign after an investigation into 'code reds', a hazing tactic used on younger players in the locker rooms by older players.
