practice on Jan. 21, Cambria Township police Officer James McGough said.
"The coach was wrestling with him and bit him in the leg, the upper thigh," McGough said.
The bite caused bruising, but did not draw blood, McGough said. The student offered to drop the matter if Marshall agreed to resign, police said.
Marshall, 36, declined to confirm that he bit the wrestler. He said he has not "technically" submitted a resignation and referred questions about his status to his lawyer.
Behind closed doors: Students will be banned from tomorrow afternoon's boys basketball game between Brewster and host Horace Greeley.
The one-time ban applies to students from both schools and is in response to rowdy behavior by Greeley students this season, though AD Steve Young said no Greeley students were suspended from school as a result of any incidents.
"Certain types of behavior are unacceptable," Young told The Journal News. "We want to let them know the severity of the situation."
A letter on Greeley's sports boosters Web site cited students' conduct during and after Greeley's Jan. 18 game at Byram Hills. The letter said events at that game "escalated to the point that student safety became a genuine concern. During the game, many of our students chanted profanities at the opposing players and showed little regard for the adults who asked them to stop. Their poor sportsmanship was also directed at the officials."
Extra points: Mike Ford, a track standout at Rochester's East High in the late 1980s and now an assistant at Baylor, will coach defending Olympic 400-meter champion Jeremy Wariner as he prepares for the Beijing Games. Wariner split with Clyde Hart, Baylor's legendary head coach, in a contract dispute over money this month.
