Bishop Guilfoyle Academy has reportedly cancelled its remaining Jr. High boys’ basketball games following alleged incidents involving the players on the team.
School principal Mike Cacciotti confirmed the decision in a statement.
“Sports is a privilege and BG maintains high standards for each team and participant. Accountability for these standards is important. We believe life lessons are learned through both success and adversity and are confident that
our students will learn, grow, and succeed in the future. While this is an unfortunate situation, it reflects the school’s commitment to maintaining a respectful and responsible environment where students can grow into
successful young adults.”
The school administration has not provided any further details on what the alleged incidents entailed, describing them only as “recent events.”
The Laurel Highland Athletic Conference also confirmed the school’s decision to cancel the remaining games, stating that it was an internal decision made by Bishop Guilfoyle administrators.
“The LHAC was informed by Bishop Guilfoyle’s Athletic Director, Joe Landolfi, that an internal decision was made by Bishop Guilfoyle to cancel the remainder of the Junior High boys’ basketball season. No other information was
given to or requested by the LHAC.”
