Callahan Press Conference Set for 3:45

Armwood coach Sean Callahan will hold a brief press conference today at 3:45, at which time he's expected to announce eight Hawks players will be suspended from all or part of tonight's Class 4A showdown against Plant.

The press conference was announced in a statement released by the Hillsborough County School District. According to the statement, the players skipped first period Thursday morning and were given two days of in-school suspension -- the school's normal penalty for such an infraction.

Three Hawks players told The Times on Thursday night Callahan announced at a team meeting Thursday the players also wouldn't play tonight.
