During a men’s varsity lacrosse game at Orange High School Monday, a player from Mentor Lake Catholic High School was accused of having a painted swastika on his leg during the game.
PEPPER PIKE, Ohio — During a men’s varsity lacrosse game on Monday, Orange High School lacrosse players said a Lake Catholic player had a swastika on his leg, according to a statement released by Orange's superintendent. Alumni and parents also reported that a visitor was using racial slurs toward the Orange team, said superintendent Dr. Lynn Campbell of Orange City Schools.
I have spoken to the President of Lake Catholic who shared that he and the Diocese are aware of the magnitude of this situation. He confirmed that they are addressing the incidents, and he is very apologetic and obviously, does not approve of these behaviors. It is important to note that student discipline is confidential, so it is likely that we will not be made aware of this player’s consequences.
I am proud of how our athletes took the high road and played with dignity, winning this playoff match in a landslide amidst such upsetting circumstances. Here at Orange, we are proud of and celebrate our diversity, and we are very proud of all of our fine students.
