OSG High: Orlando-Dr. Phillips Loses 2010 Season

((HT: Orlando Sentinel))

Defensive Coordinator Rodney Wells takes over for Dale Salapa at Orlando-Doctor Phillips. Normally, that would be news on its own, but replacing the coach that had a three-year record of 35-4 is because Salapa stepped aside after a boatload of trouble came to the surface...

Last week, Dr. Phillips self-reported to the Florida High School Athletic Association ((FHSAA)) that it had an ineligible player on its roster and is forfeiting all 14 victories from the 2010 season. Last month, three former Dr. Phillips players were acquitted of charges of battery and hazing a former teammate last September.

"There will be a zero-tolerance policy," Wells told Joe Williams of the Orlando Sentinel. "Everything has to be clean. Everybody will be watching us, not just at school but in the community."

Wells ain't lying...

Here's the highlights from the state title game from last season...

There was also talk that an alleged altercation between Salapa and a parent at a 7v7 tournament was what pushed everything over the edge...
