Cold water splashed on coach's job
Posted on February 12, 2007 4:29 PM
A year ago, Jim Beardmore was picking up Coach of the Year honors for guiding Severna Park boys' lacrosse to a state title.
But lacrosse isn't football. People roll their eyes at things football coaches do. As long as the wins keep coming, little can go wrong.
Sunny Jim found out a lot could go wrong when his Polar Bear plunge team-building exercise had parents screaming 'hazing'...
According to two parents who have players on the team but did not wish to be identified, Beardmore took team members to the Maryland State Police Polar Bear Plunge on Jan. 27 at Sandy Point State Park. Last week, a couple of players who did not attend the event were taken outside and had water thrown on them.Weather in Severna Park has been a balmy 35 degrees. I can't decide which is stupider, the polar bear plunge, the splashing water on players outdoors, or violating rules about having team meetings outside the season.
