Weatherford College Baseball: Junior college player no longer on the team after attacking a key player

The conference was suspended for two games “all NCTC team members who were in dugout or bowling” and any assistant coaches who came onto the field. He also suspended four additional Weatherford players and two assistant coaches for two games.

Weatherford College’s Office of Student Services also released an additional pupil to the player, according to a statement from the Weatherford Department of Athletics Thursday, though the department declined to release details, citing college policy and federal regulations that protect students’ privacy. After Wednesday’s incident, the athletics department said in a statement that the student faces possible expulsion from school.

NTJCAC said Thursday that both teams lost the match, which was the first of a four-game series between schools.

The second and third games are considered losses to North Central Texas College because the college cannot field enough players for games due to the suspension, a statement from Weatherford College said, adding that game four is scheduled to be played on Saturday.

Weatherford’s statement said the Weatherford Police Department was investigating the incident and taking statements.

The athletics department said Wednesday that the bowler faces potential disciplinary action, including expulsion from college.

“The unfortunate events at Weatherford College will be used as a learning moment for our student-athletes to help ensure that such incidents do not occur in the future,” the NCTC statement added.

CNN contacted the two schools on Thursday but did not immediately receive a response.
