Seneca coaches placed on probation after hazing
The Seneca Board of Education has placed the school's head football coach and some assistants on probation after a hazing incident during a football camp at Pittsburg State University. The school board issued a news release Wednesday saying coach Rod Townsend and assistant coaches who were at the camp last month were placed on one year probation. The board declined to say how many assistants were involved. Pittsburg State University police interviewed more than 50 students who attended the early June camp. Eleven Seneca players have been charged with assaulting younger players on the team at the camp. In its statement, the school board says it found no evidence the coaches had any advanced knowledge of the hazing, were aware of the hazing or tried to cover up the incident.
