Crossover Game Causes High School to Exit League

A high school in Detroit has been suspended from the Detroit Catholic League for the 2016-17 school year for its refusal to participate in a crossover football game next season. Notre Dame Preparatory High School will be banned from playing against any Catholic League school in any sport, unless it is a state tournament game.

The ban was enacted after the school opted to leave the Catholic League rather than play a crossover football game in the upcoming season against Birmingham’s Brother Rice High School. According to Detroit Free Press Notre Dame Prep’s athletic director Betty Wroubel cited safety concerns as their reason for the refusal. Brother Rice is a Division 2 school and Notre Dame Prep is only a Division 4 school, a matchup administrators felt was unsafe for their players.
