The top story in high school sports was an apology, admission and complaint all in one letter read by Juropa Valley (California) Patriot High School football coach Scott Pearne. Players for three years have been allowed to wear skimpy female clothing during skits done at a sports camp in imitation of the tomfoolery hazing antics of many major league baseball teams. Other allegations of improper touching were made, but no criminal charges had been filed by police. Pearne apologized, took responsibility for the hazing (some of which he said he was genuinely unaware of), and then proceeded to say he thought he should have been the one allowed to make corrective measures. The board voted nonetheless to fire Pearne as coach but allow him to retain his post as a teacher. Hazing and ‘boys will be boys’ cannot and will not be tolerated,” Sheryl Schmidt, president of the Jurupa Unified School District board of education, told the Riverside-Press. Her statement came during board comments at the end of the meeting. “We did what we had to do tonight,” she said.
