Kenton Football Players: More Suspensions This Year

August 16, 2007 |

Kenton board of dis-education wasn’t too bright last year when they said that the issue of suspension wasn’t on the table because the boys responsible for seriously injuring two people wasn’t an educational matter. (They had pulled a prank by placing a deer target in the road…. a car came and crashed because of it). The coaches and parents were not much better and the football players were not dealt with completely until after the season. See where this might go?

 NEW: Kenton players suspended

KENTON — 1 p.m., Wednesday — Several players have been suspended from the Kenton High School football team, and a Kenton radio station is reporting the suspensions are connected to a string of vandalisms in Hardin County last week.

Kenton schools Superintendent Doug Roberts would only confirm “six, seven or eight” players have been suspended for violating team rules. Roberts did not know how long the players would be suspended.

WKTN 95.3 has reported seven players are suspended in connection with a Hardin County Sheriff’s Office investigation of vandalism of vehicles, mailboxes and lawn ornaments.

Kenton begins its season away Aug. 24 against Coldwater.

Four of the five teenagers involved in a deer decoy prank in 2005 were football players. The teens placed a decoy hunting deer on a road, causing two other teens to be seriously injured in a car crash.
