As a prospective student-athlete, you are expected to accept seriously the responsibility and privilege of represnting your school and community while participating in interscholastic athletics. The Ohio High School Athletic Association, of which your school is a voluntary member, has established a sports regulation relative to unsporting conduct that causes an ejection from a contest. Any student ejected for unsportsmanlike conduct or flagrant foul shall be ineligible for all contests for the remainder of that day. If the ejection occurs in the last contest of the season, the student shall be ineligible for the same period of time as stated above in the next sport in which the student participates.
