Entire Pine-Richland Football Staff Fired After Allegations Of Hazing

ALLEGHENY COUNTY, Pa. (WPXI) — The entire Pine-Richland High School football staff has been fired. Reports say an email was sent to head coach Eric Kasperowicz informing him that his position will be advertised. Administrators had been questioning current and former players about allegations of misconduct in the locker room. Kasperowicz was supposed to meet with school administrators Wednesday night but was fired prior to the meeting. Kasperowicz won four WPIAL titles, two state championships and put the school district in the national spotlight for its success on the football field. Dozens of players showed up at the team’s football stadium angry and asking why their coaches were fired Wednesday night. They all told Channel 11 that despite a reported school investigation, there is no hazing and no wrongdoing by any of the coaches. They said Kasperowicz molded them into decent men and quality students on and off the field. Channel 11 has reached out to multiple district officials for a comment and to ask if any alleged hazing was under investigation by the police department. So far, there has been no response from anyone associated with the district.
