At a meeting held yesterday, the PIAA District 6 Committee found Bishop McCort in violation of recruiting allegations.
Bishop McCort has been placed on a three-year probationary period, Coach Bill Bassett has been suspended from coaching for one year and McCort wrestlers are not permitted to participate in district or state competitions for a period of 20 to 36 months.
Principal/CAO Tom Smith responded to the ruling by stating, “We vehemently disagree with the outcome of this hearing and will appeal the decision with the PIAA Board of Directors in Harrisburg. We adhered to the rules and have followed protocol in admitting all students to our school. Our main goal is, and has always been, to provide a well-rounded and quality education for the students that attend Bishop McCort.”
