Fenton plans to appeal suspension

Jefferson football coach Mike Fenton, suspended one-game by the FHSAA for unsporting conduct, will appeal, AD Bob Morgan said.

Fenton, who will also be fined $250, was ejected from Friday's 38-2 win over Alonso. Morgan said Fenton argued in defense of one of his players, who was allegedly speared on a play and not properly penalized. Morgan said he hadn't received anything official about the suspension Monday, but FHSAA spokesperson Robert Hernberger said the letter will be sent Tuesday.

Said Morgan: "You say something, and you regret saying it the way it came out."

Jefferson (4-4, 2-0) plays Plant (7-1, 2-0) Friday for the Class 4A, District 10 championship. FHSAA spokesperson Robert Hernberger said it's possible an appeal could be resolved by Friday, but not certain.
