Fairfield Prep response to media commentary regarding the state championship basketball game
Fairfield Prep is deeply affected by the negative press directed at our players concerning events immediately following the state championship basketball game on March 22. We have investigated and are addressing the show of unsportsmanlike conduct by some of our athletes. Where warranted, we have taken appropriate action with regard to behaviors that we consider contrary to our values as a Jesuit school of excellence. We take any criticism seriously and see it as an opportunity for self-reflection, improvement, and recommitment to our Catholic mission. Unfortunately, most of the negative comments against Fairfield Prep consist of gross exaggerations or are not based in fact. We invite you to read our student newspaper editor’s response, and to view the final minutes of the game video.
