Eldorado, IL High School has released a statement after a video of a basketball play went viral on social media.
The video was taken at a recent varsity basketball game, and portrays what many have called a violent block against one of the players during the game. Eldorado responded to the video on Friday with an official statement. The statement read in part, “Eldorado CUSD 4 will not tolerate the unsportsmanlike behavior displayed during Thursday’s game. The student involved will face appropriate consequences”.
The statement confirms the school is conducting an investigation of the incident and is working with the Illinois High School Athletic Association to come up with a suitable punishment for the student.
