Suspension Cut For Jay QB
September 3, 2011
The six game suspension handed down earlier this week to Jay High quarterback Conner Weekes has been reduced.
Jay High appealed, and the Florida High School Athletic Association cut the suspension to just one game — last night’s game with Rocky Bayou.
The suspension was the result of an altercation during a preseason game August 26 between Jay and Baker. Weekes and Baker defender Billy Cotton were accused of throwing punches, but video reviewed during the appeals process revealed that Weekes never threw a punch during the altercation.
Jay lost that preseason game to Baker, 27-13.
