SFP suspends nine: Nine St. Francis Prep's girls basketball players have been suspended after their parents refused to allow them to board a bus to play a league game, AD Sal Fischetti told The Daily News.
The Terriers will play out the remainder of their schedule with four holdovers, team managers and possibly JV call-ups or other students.
The suspensions were handed down after the Terriers failed to show Tuesday for their game against Christ the King. Parents had petitioned the school to remove fifth-year coach JoAnn Wagner.
"It’s a shame that we got to this point,” Fischetti told FiveBoroSports.com. “I feel bad for all parties. Nothing good comes out of this.”
Getting out the vote: Dozens of Liverpool students have registered to vote on the Feb. 26 proposition for an $5.8 million renovation of the school's athletic facilities, The Post-Standard reported.
"We need to get this athletic field built because high school students are suffering, sports are suffering, the marching band is suffering and future Liverpool High School students will suffer if change doesn't happen," senior Jason Savlov, 18, told the paper.
District residents, including students, who are registered to vote will decide the fate of the renovation, which is not projected to raise school taxes. The proposal calls for new artificial turf, an eight-lane track and bleachers on the home sideline. Voters defeated two similar proposals last year.
The 10-year-old artificial turf stadium was declared unsafe in December 2007 because of problems with the field and track.
