OLENTANGY, Ohio-Following a spring break trip to a Georgia sports camp, most of the Olentangy Liberty High School varsity baseball team faced suspensions for underage drinking violations, tarnishing what was expected to be a promising season. Parents expressed concerns over the lack of supervision during the trip and criticized coaches for allegedly failing to take responsibility.
Despite initial denials, records revealed multiple code violations resulting in out-of-school suspensions. While students faced disciplinary action, coaches seemingly faced no repercussions. Concerns were raised about the lack of accountability and transparency from school officials, leading some parents to hire attorneys to appeal their children’s punishments. The incident highlighted broader issues surrounding student conduct, coach responsibility, and parental involvement in school activities.
