MADISON, WI (WTAQ) – Three St. Mary’s Springs football players were held out of Thursday’s state championship game.
School officials say it was due to a ‘code violation,’ with a letter to parents citing a Wednesday night disorderly conduct call to Pizza Ranch.
School President Kelly Norton’s letter reads:
“Greetings SMSA Families,
You may have seen the FDL Scanner/Crime Reports Facebook post last evening, stating that there was a “disorderly conduct call to Pizza Ranch, reported to involve the St. Mary’s Springs football team.” We are not in a position to comment on the nature or details of the incident as it is in the hands of the FDL Police Department. However, as information is presented to the Administration of SMSA, we will manage the situation per the policies outlined in our student handbook and code of conduct. It is our expectation that our students and school community, whether on our campus grounds or elsewhere, serve as examples of the core values and Christian character that we teach and expect of one another.
Despite these circumstances, let this not be a deterrent from the importance, magnitude and community celebration of today, for there are many students, coaches, fans, and friends that have supported us on our journey to Madison. As we travel there today with our team, students and school, please remember we are ONE–in faith and community! GO LEDGERS!
In Christ,
Kelly”
One starter and two reserves missed the win over Iola-Scandinavia at Madison’s Camp Randall Stadium.
