A spokesperson said the school was unable to find a head coach after their former one resigned, a move that came following an investigation into reports that a swastika was displayed on a player’s leg during a game last year.
MENTOR, Ohio - Lake Catholic High school officials on Monday said they will not be fielding a boy’s lacrosse team for the 2023 season.The resignation came after an investigation was launched stemming from reports that19 News received the following statement from Lake Catholic High School on the decision:
Authorities said the player who initially put the symbol on his hand with eye black has cooperated during the investigation and has since expressed sorrow for what has been called “shocking and appalling.” Although it was alleged in a secondhand account that a player for Orange reported hearing a Lake Catholic staff member use an anti-Semitic slur during the game, no eyewitness came forward to testify or provide a statement about this allegation and no official, coach, or athlete reported hearing it. Consequently, we were unable to determine whether this occurred.
It was alleged that an unidentified person uttered or shouted an anti-Semitic slur after the game had concluded. The person who reported hearing the slur was unable to identify who might have said the slur. No one else reported hearing the slur, and a video with audio of the game and its aftermath was reviewed but provided no evidence to corroborate the report. Consequently, we are unable to conclude whether this occurred.
