Iowa high school basketball player suspended
March 11, 2010 09:20 EST
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) -- Southeast Polk High School has suspended a starting player on the boys' basketball team while the Rams play in the state tournament.
School officials say Tony Sandquist must sit out two games for violating the student conduct code last month for attending a party where alcohol was present.
The decision came on Wednesday, hours before the Rams beat West Des Moines Dowling in a Class 4-A quarterfinal game. The Rams face Marion Linn-Mar on Friday.
School officials told Sandquist on March 1 that he would be suspended for the rest of the season. Last week, a judge issued an injunction blocking the suspension. On Friday, the judge ruled the school could suspend Sandquist.
Sandquist's lawyers say he maintains his innocence and will ask for another review.
