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.

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.

    • I heard they have most of their team coming back. Who is the next coach?  Also, what about Chester County? That one has been open for a while.  Gibson County also???
    • Marion had no answer for groves last year and he’s added a lot of weight since last year already. And the other groves Marion couldn’t block…he’ll be back.
    • Hmmmmm……doe dee doe doe….i drove the lawnmower down to practice today…….hmmmm…… we got some new faces………. One can run faster than my lawnmower in fifth gear…… a few will be disappointed come November that they jumped ship and went down to that sewage facility……. You can bet the lawnmower on that. 
    • I don't know what's going on in the town of McMinnville, but I've read this and it's disturbing.  I'm a "player" person, and I want what's best for the player. If a player gets cut off the team because she said the "F word" then good grief. I mean, come on guys. I wish there was a way for the player to transfer to a different program and just play ball. There are a lot of athletes that are stuck because they're in crappy situations regarding their team/coach. This is player just happens to be one them.
    • Won't happen. College coaches will back the coach every time and it cost this young lady her senior season. Looks like the player may be right on this one. School let her  go after one season. This stuff happens more than you think.
