Principia School Forfeits Playoff Game to Reset Team Culture, Ends Season 2-7
The Principia School in St. Louis, Missouri, has forfeited its second-round playoff football game against Crystal City in order to reset the team's culture, USA Today reported Nov. 11. Athletic director Shawn Brown said that although ending the season this way is disappointing, the school believes it is a necessary step to move the program forward. Principia finishes the season 2-7. Brown said the school wants to send a clear message that culture and discipline come before results, and the coaching staff will use the offseason to rebuild standards within the team.
