A few days after the controversial dual between Central Dauphin and Cumberland Valley, punitive action has been taken.

Dave Heckard, the Head Coach from Cumberland Valley will not be allowed to coach at the PIAA Team State Championships. As first reported by Pennlive.com, CV officials and Heckard decided it would be in the teams best interests of interscholastic athletics for Heckard to not participate.

Heckard offered the following quote to Pennlive.com:

“It is my job as a teacher, coach and adult to reflect the sportsmanship that I expect my athletes to adhere to on and off the mat.
“My actions on Saturday at the District 3 team tournament were unacceptable and are not what I want my athletes to portray at any time during an athletic competition, as a student or as future citizens.

No word yet if Central Dauphin will take similar action.
