Mayo Out for Three Games
O.J. Mayo, probably the nation’s top high school basketball player from Huntington High in West Virginia, is suspended for three games stemming from an ejection and contact with a referee during a game on January 26th.

Huntington principal Greg Webb wanted Mayo punished, according to Mayo’s lawyer, because “student-athletes at Huntington are held to a high standard of conduct, and the principal felt that some discipline was in order.” The SSAC agreed to have its mandatory two game suspension run concurrently with a three game suspension imposed by Webb.
