Two football coaches at Columbus North have been suspended for one game after an incident that took place at a recent contest. The Bartholomew Consolidated School Corporation announced the suspensions are the result of a “verbal and physical altercation” that took place between Head Coach Tim Bless and Assistant Coach Aaron Karrer on the sideline of the Bulldogs game against Southport. As a result, BCSC says that both coaches will miss the next football game.

BCSC released the following statement:

“BCSC has high expectations for staff and students, and Columbus North encourages a positive atmosphere set by coaches, officials, fans, and other athletes. While winning is a natural goal in the pursuit of excellence, the principles of good sportsmanship and enjoyment of competition take precedence at all times and enhance the educational value of all contests.”
