This will be my only post on the matter and I encourage everyone to follow suit.

The rumors are true and Belfry will be without two starting Offensive players for Friday's game and maybe longer. The length of suspension is Coach Haywood's discretion.

I will not name names, though one name is easy to figure out. I also will not respond in PM with names so no need to ask... you will know who the second is Friday and I am sure some may already have a suspicion.

For the sake of sharing info here is what I can provide:
The two players are suspended for a violation of team policy. The offense to be honest is something that most would find to be quite harmless, and truth be told is something that if this happened at most other schools in the State we would never even hear of a suspension. With that said, we all know Coach Haywood values teaching the Game of Life as an equal to the game of football... probably even values it much higher... so Haywood is using this as a lesson to teach leadership and decision making away from the field.

For the two suspended players I am sure they are well aware that they made an innocent mistake and this suspension will definitely hit home if I were to guess. You simply have to realize that decisions you make as a 17 or 18 year old kid have different magnitudes when you are a key starter for a program like Belfry.

Belfry will be fine and as long as the players receive the lesson Haywood is teaching them they will be fine too and return to the field as better people.
