North Shore's former offensive coordinator, Andrew Cameron, received a three-year suspension from all UIL activities for personally recruiting players from other schools, a violation of UIL rules. The head coach, Willie Gaston, was suspended for the first two district games of the 2024 season for negligence. The violations were deemed isolated to Cameron and not systematic. The executive committee's decision came after neighboring Houston area schools accused Cameron of making illicit contact with players to recruit them. The investigating Galena Park ISD found that North Shore did not ultimately benefit from Cameron's actions and that he resigned instead of going on administrative leave. Despite North Shore's recent success in football, Cameron took responsibility for his actions and apologized to the school.
