At least three Lyman Hall football players have been suspended and will not play Thursday against Sheehan in the team's final regular season game. One is senior quarterback John DeSandre, according to sources.
Lyman Hall (7-2) is battling for a Class M state playoff berth. The Trojans will clinch a spot with a victory over their rivals, but their postseason hopes could be in jeopardy with a loss.
The players were suspended after breaking team rules this past weekend which, according to sources, was a violating of the school’s substance abuse policy. The players were allegedly caught drinking.
"Some football players did break a school policy and they're being appropriately disciplined," Lyman Hall athletic director Amy Labas said. "I'm not able to say for how long (the suspension will be) or who they are."
