WPIAL Decision Could Affect High School Basketball Playoffs

POSTED: 6:06 pm EDT March 11, 2008
UPDATED: 7:29 pm EDT March 11, 2008

The WPIAL held a closed hearing on Tuesday in Moon Township to determine the fate of two local high school basketball teams.

A post- game brawl broke out after Jeannette beat North Catholic in the state quarterfinals at Hempfield Area High School on Saturday.

Players and coaches from both teams attended the hearing. Absent though was Jeannette star, Terrelle Pryor, whose parents did not want him to attend.

According to Tim O'Malley, executive director of the WPIAL, each school was asked to provide a written report of what occurred after Saturday's game. Included in that report would be any disciplinary action already taken against players involved in the fight.

The board is reviewing the reports to determine if the disciplinary action was appropriate. If not, it will impose further disciplinary action.

The board is expected to have a response by Tuesday evening or Wednesday morning at the latest.

At this point, Jeannette is set to play in the state semi-finals on Wednesday.
