It looks like an incident could be a major distraction for the Groves football team.
In wake of the Falcons 21-3 win over Troy on Thursday night,
two Groves football players said they were assaulted in the school’s parking
lot.
According to WDIV, they said that the attack was believed to
be at random and unmotivated but both players admitted that they gave a false
report to school officials after it became clear that the incident was caught
on their security cameras.
Groves sent out two letters with the first letter alerting
students, parents, and staff that the two players were safe and decided that
two people attacked one football player while the other one stopped the attack.
The players then changed their story saying that it wasn’t a
random attack but a fight which caused Groves officials to send another letter
to students, parents, and staff saying that one of the players knew the
attackers and that it was a fight.
Minor injuries did occur.
It is unknown that if the players will face charges of
filing a false police report but Groves officials said that there will be
discipline for the players.
Thoughts
This could be a distraction for the Falcons football team
after getting a win. Groves is 5-1 right now. The incident is the talk of the
town.
It’s important for coach Brendan Flaherty to keep his team
together and not let this incident be a distraction.
