Several coaches for one Ohiohigh school’s football team were fired after they forced a player who kept kosher to eat pork against his religious beliefs.
The Canton City School District fired head coach Marcus Wattley along with six assistant coaches, the school board announced following a unanimous vote on Thursday. The other coaches who are out of a job are Cade Brodie, Joshua Grimsley, Romero Harris, Frank McLeod, Zachary Sweat, and Tyler Thatcher.
“This means that these individuals are no longer coaches with the Canton City School District, and they will not be involved in any Canton City Schools Football activity moving forward,” Superintendent Jeff Talbert said. “The investigation found that the identified coaches engaged in actions that constituted inappropriate, demeaning, and divisive behavior in a misguided attempt to instill discipline in the student-athletes. This behavior will not be tolerated.”

The Daily Jeffersonian
A preliminary hearing for a Carrollton woman facing a felony drug charge stemming from a traffic stop involving a stolen vehicle has been scheduled for May 28 in the Cambridge Municipal Court.
Abigail J. Motz, 33, is facing one count of aggravated possession of drugs, a second-degree felony. She remained incarcerated in the Guernsey County Jail.
Bond for Motz was set at $50,000 with no 10% allowed during an initial hearing in the municipal court. She was also placed in the court s pretrial release program.
Motz was driving a van initially believed to have been stolen from Canton City Schools. It was later discovered the school district had salvaged the van and it was actually taken from a local salvage yard without permission.
