| 2010-08-26 | The_Criminal | Mid-Eastern | Big-Time | Crime Link | 60 | 3 Howard College Basketball Players Dismissed from Team Following Theft Arrest 8/26/10
Greg Sherman CBS 7 News August 26, 2010 Howard College’s men’s basketball team knew it would be a tougher season than last year’s championship team with having to replace several key players. Now it will be harder after 3 "players" allegedly decided stealing a television was more important than trying to repeat. 3 members of the Howard College men’s basketball team were dismissed from the team following their arrest on theft charges. Phillip Jackson, Jonathon Landry, and Fabyon Harris were all arrested after shoplifting several items from the Big Spring Wal-Mart earlier this week, including a big-screen television. Head Coach Mark Adams commented to me off-camera his disappointment in the players, who were all freshman, and that he would begin looking to fill those slots. None of the players were on last year’s 33-2 National JUCO Championship team. In fact none of the 3 had even attended a practice or a class. None of the 3 had any local ties to the area. Jackson and Harris are from Illinois, Landry from San Antonio. Adams also commented he had no choice but to kick the players off the team. |
