Brisbane for their reassessment, from corse178's blog

PHILOMATH, Ore. Authentic Josh Reddick Jersey . -- An Oregon high school shaken by a hazing scandal will not play varsity football this season.The Philomath School Board canceled the season at a meeting Thursday night, but will allow some junior varsity game to be played, the Corvallis Gazette-Times reported (https://is.gd/F1fk8h ).Six varsity players have been cited with the juvenile equivalent of harassment and assault charges from an incident at the teams conditioning camp in July. A volunteer assistant coach is also facing a criminal mistreatment charge.Benton County District Attorney John Haroldson said 11 freshman players had intimate parts of their bodies targeted during an initiation.All football activities were suspended during the investigation and players didnt resume practice until this week. Superintendent Melissa Goff told board members that three outside experts evaluated the practices to determine the readiness of the athletes to play.They unanimously agreed that we do not have the readiness to have a varsity program, she said.The meeting drew more than 50 people, with many in tears as they addressed the board.One man read a letter attributed to a group of the parents of the victims.We have heard voices of support for the coaches, voices of support for the young men charged, and the seeming unfairness towards them, he said. We speak up at this time because the lack of focus on what happened to our children, and the lack of apparent empathy for them, has reached a concerning level.Lori Haslam, the schools dance coach, said the victims have been on the receiving end of snide remarks and catcalls at school. Retaliation is alive and well at PHS, she said.Haslam said the school must make sure hazing does not happen again, and coaches like her needed to be responsible for ensuring that.Melissa Muir, the wife of head football coach Troy Muir, also spoke. She said her husband didnt know about the hazing initiation and those who were involved took advantage of his trust.---Information from: Gazette-Times, http://www.gtconnect.com Authentic Lance McCullers Jersey .ca look back at each of the Top 10 stories of 2013.

The Raptors traded Rudy Gay, Quincy Acy and Aaron Gray to the Sacramento Kings on Monday, in exchange for Greivis Vasquez, John Salmons, Patrick Patterson and Chuck Hayes. A garland was put around Taskin Ahmeds neck as he was mobbed by neighbours, friends and relatives on Friday evening. The Bangladesh fast bowler couldnt enter his house in southern Mohammadpur as kids of all ages tried to lift his hand. He waved at the crowd and shed a few tears.Less than a kilometer to the west, selector Habibul Bashar was about to go to the pharmacy when his wife, scared of all the bursts and pops in the nearby area, asked him to stay indoors. Bashar headed out nonetheless, unaware of what was happening just few blocks away. When he arrived at the Shere Bangla National Stadium on Saturday, he greeted Taskin who then described what had happened outside his house.They burst crackers and rockets worth thousands. Everyone was celebrating, including my parents. I joined in too, said a smiling Taskin, who had informed his mother first when he heard the good news on Friday afternoon.It was a scene out of an election campaign, and hardly something you would imagine for a fast bowler who had just had his bowling action cleared by the ICC. Certainly no cricketer who had just got cleared for an illegal bowling action has received such a reception.But that is how they roll in Zakir Hossain Road, Taskins quiet central Dhaka neighbourhood. When he plays for Bangladesh, there are posters of him everywhere in the area and kids try to imitate his bowling action and latest hairstyle. When he does well, his parents see neighbours bursting crackers and wishing them well. Now, they were celebrating the end of his exile, or at least thats what it felt like.When I walked out in the street, people asked me why my arm wasnt straight, Taskin said, recalling the time after his action had been reported. There was a lot of pressure on me, so I am really happy now. This is an occasion to feel relieved, and I look forward to returning to international cricket.The clean chit for Taskins action came as a satisfying reward for his hard work in the nets with bowling coach Mahbub Ali Zaki. Authentic Mike Scott Jersey. It also vindicated his decision to play for Abahani Limited in the Dhaka Premier League, Bangladeshs domestic one-day tournament, which was seen at the time as a risky move and a hindrance to his rehabilitative training routine.But Taskin regularly worked overtime after Abahanis training sessions between April and June, ensuring he was progressing as planned by Heath Streak and later Zaki. He monitored every single delivery, and then the footage was passed on to the BCBs newly-formed bowling action review committee in August. He gave a mock test in front of their cameras, after which he was told that his bouncer, the delivery identified as illegal in Chennai in March, looked clean. But no one could be sure.Taskin and Arafat Sunny headed out earlier this month to Brisbane for their reassessment, their only route back to international cricket. Both are now in the clear, and for Taskin there is immediate on-field action in the Afghanistan-Bangladesh ODI series.The boisterous celebrations demonstrated Taskins popularity, but the experience he and Sunny have had over the last six months should serve as a cautionary tale for the many domestic bowlers whose actions have been questioned by the BCBs review committee. It was the suspensions of Taskin and Sunny that spurred the BCB to take suspect bowling action seriously in domestic cricket, so the garlands and firecrackers shouldnt mark the end of this problem.It was Taskin and Sunny who were given the relief, and before them Abdur Razzak and Sohag Gazi. The rest of the countrys suspected and illegal bowlers would still need to correct their actions, and the BCB must remain vigilant and keep weeding out the suspects. Cheap NFL Autographed JerseysWholesale Jerseys 2020 Wholesale Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Store Black China NFL Jerseys Jerseys NFL Cheap China NFL Jerseys ' ' '
