High school football scandal in St. Louis

Holy moly, this one is a doozy.
St. Louis football power Cardinal Ritter Prep forfeited seven wins, canceled the rest of its season, and fired its entire coaching staff for using a suspended star player in the season opener. They gave him a different number and a fake name, and even did interviews talking about how the "freshman" had come out of nowhere to earn playing time. The scam started to unravel when someone at the St. Louis Post-Dispatch noticed "Marvin Burks" had the same tattoos on his forearm as star RB Bill Jackson.

Cardinal Ritter football season over, coaches fired, athletic director retiring after investigation

Top-ranked small school Cardinal Ritter may have used ineligible player

 

It's always the tattoos.

 

And I would have gotten away with it too if it weren't for you meddling reporters!

 

One of the follow-up stories was about a Cardinal Ritter opponent who was upset they wouldn't get to play the No. 1 team in the state.
So there is a new marketing slogan for The Post-Dispatch: Costing kids scholarships since 1844.

 

Meanwhile, Cardinal Ritter announced it has hired a new baseball coach:

 

Parochial schools cheat just as hard as public schools!

 

character builder

 

It took seven games?

 

The coach and his staff are something else.

 

clear eyes
full heart
can't coach ever again in the state of Missouri

 

The interviewer in the clip was utterly useless, should be fired. All the coach said was that a mistake was made, the interviewer never asked any questions to find out how this happened, never asked who else was involved, never asked anything! If he has a journalism degree his tuition was a complete waste of money. Ridiculous.
