Rattlers basketball players launch appeal regarding dismissal from team
MEDICINE HAT, AB — The Medicine Hat College Rattlers have confirmed two players are appealing the team’s decision to cut them from the roster earlier this week.
Omon Edobar and Jusci Thompson were released from the men’s basketball team on Monday. Terry Ballard with Medicine Hat College says the decision stems from actions following the Rattlers loss to Red Deer College on Saturday.
Although Ballard would not discuss the incidents in detail, video shows Edobar aggressively arguing with an official following the game, while Thompson was seen shattering a window on a gym door after fouling out of the game.
