Patrick Haun Sr. WR dismissed from team....http://www.knoxnews.com/news/2010/sep/21/haun-top-receiver-top-ranked-catholic-dismissed-te/

 

The Catholic High School football team will be without starting senior wide receiver Patrick Haun when it plays host to rival Webb School of Knoxville on Friday night.

 

The 6-foot-2, 200-pound Haun, 17, was dismissed from the team for undisclosed reasons and is no longer a student at Catholic, athletics director Jason Surlas confirmed Tuesday night.

 

Catholic is 4-0 and ranked No. 1 in the state in the Associated Press Class 5A poll, and has been the past four weeks. Through Catholic’s first four games, Haun had served as quarterback Mike Wegzyn’s favorite target, catching 21 passes for 389 yards and five touchdowns.

 

His six catches for 174 yards and two touchdowns helped Catholic win a District 4-AAA game at William Blount, 27-10, this past Friday night and earned him a nomination for PrepXtra offensive player of the week.

Truly a shame, this is a talented kid.

I agree. Hopefully he can correct whatever the issue is/was and continue his career in college.

Bad News for Catholic!!

Human nature is such that we immediately jump to our own conclusions about what he must have done, but thats dangerous. Actions as severe as dismissal from the team as well as expulsion from the school are serious and I'm sure they aren't without merit. But most importantly, this incident should serve to remind us all that football is a priviledge, not a right, and we should pray that this young man can redirect himself and walk in a different direction in the future.

This came one game to late for the WB fans, he went off against the govs and was probably the reason catholic escaped with a win.

Looks like he is ready to play for the Vols.

I wonder if he will attend another local HS to complete his senior year and play football.....

I would like to know what he did, must have been bad for such a punishment

I'm curious to know myself, but I doubt we'll hear anything, especially since he's only 17.

Under TSSAA rules without a change of address he would not be eligible to compete.
