In addition, two assistant coaches were removed from the<br \/>\nteam but will keep their jobs for failing to properly supervise the boys.<\/p>\n<p>School officials blame part of the negative behavior on frustration that the<br \/>\nteam hasn&#8217;t won a game yet this season, but also the fact that two weeks<br \/>\nago, a team did damage to their dorms.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The kids are thinking they did it so it&#8217;s okay for us to do it,&#8221; Hemmelgarn<br \/>\nsaid.<\/p>\n<p>They insist the behavior was not violent or directed at anyone despite<br \/>\nrumors to the contrary. ISD officials hope their kids have taken an<br \/>\nimportant lesson to heart.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is why your behavior is so important,&#8221; Hemmelgarn said. &#8220;The whole<br \/>\nworld looks at you and you never know when some thing&#8217;s going to come to<br \/>\nsomone&#8217;s attention.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Hemmelgarn would not name the team accused of damaging ISD dorms, but the<br \/>\nteam&#8217;s website lists Edinburgh on its schedule.<\/p>\n<p>ISD will miss Saturday&#8217;s game but will take part in a its sectional<br \/>\ntournament starting next Friday at Guerin High School in Noblesville.<\/p>\n<p>Source:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.fox59.com\/news\/wxin-indiana-school-for-the-deaf-su-101510,0,1589022.story\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.fox59.com\/news\/wxin-indiana-school-for-the-deaf-su-101510,0,1589022.story<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>School for the Deaf suspends football players for vandalism Indiana School for the Deaf suspended as many as five of the team&#8217;s 16 players after a trip to the Texas School for the Deaf in Austin.
