Woodland Hills Taft’s football program is facing City Section punishment for allowing ineligible transfer quarterback Michael Bercovici to participate in the program in violation of rules, City Section assistant commissioner John Aguirre said today.

Aguirre has asked Taft administrators to write up an incident report, which will be forwarded to the City Section rules committee for possible disciplinary action.

Bercovici was declared ineligible last month by City Section Commissioner Barbara Fiege after transferring from Westlake, making him ineligible to participate in practice or games. But Bercovici allegedly has been at games on the sideline, participating with the team.
