Chicago Shooting after Game
An important basketball game between rivals Morgan Park and Simeon was held at Chicago State University on Jan. 16. At the end of the game, one player from each team pushed each other during the handshake line, according to CPS spokesman Frank Shuftan.
Simeon is the three-time defending state champion and currently ranked No. 2 in the Sun-Times Super 25, while Morgan Park also is a perennial power, currently ranked third.
Earlier Wednesday, Chicago Public Schools suspended the basketball coaches of Morgan Park High School and Simeon High School for four games each. Simeon coach Robert Smith and Morgan Park coach Nick Irvin must attend the games but cannot coach at them, according to CPS.
Chicago Public Schools’ CEO warned all CPS coaches Wednesday that if they didn’t play by the rules of sportsmanship, their sports programs could be in jeopardy.
