SRHS baseball players’ actions get coach put on leave of absence

By Laurel Scheffel, Colleen Wixon

Saturday, April 12, 2008

SEBASTIAN — Sebastian River High School baseball coach George Young has been placed on a leave of absence from coaching while school officials investigate an alleged hazing incident among players at an out-of-town tournament last week.

Some players have been suspended from school and the team because of the allegations, which Schools Superintendent Harry La Cava said involved the possible hazing of a ball player. He and SRHS Principal Peggy Jones declined to go into details about what may have happened.

School administrators are trying to sort out the details, he said.

Jones declined to say how many students were suspended.

Young has not been suspended from his job as SRHS physical education teacher, La Cava said.

The incident allegedly happened last week when the team played in a tournament in Fort Lauderdale and stayed overnight.

Jones thought the prudent move would be to relieve Young of his coaching duties during the investigation, La Cava said.

Young, who has a 193-189-1 career record at Sebastian River, did not return calls on Friday. A woman who answered his cell phone said he did not have any comment. Athletic Director Michael Stutzke said he had no comment.
