Fennville coach suspended for grabbing player

FENNVILLE, Mich. (WOOD) — Fennville Public Schools suspended its head football coach for two games after he manhandled a player during a game last week.

The incident happened during a game at Coloma Friday following what Superintendent Jim Greydanus described as an “intense interaction on the field between the teams.”

A statement from the superintendent released Tuesday said coach Brian Sackett admitted he grabbed a player’s pads and shouted at him, then pushed the player toward the bench. Shortly thereafter, Sackett apologized to the player and “encouraged him to get back into the game as soon as he was reading,” the statement said in part.
