son
Mark Ecke said his reaction to a viscous and illegal hit on his son during a junior varsity lacrosse game at Glastonbury is the reason why he was escorted out of the game by three Glastonbury police officers on May 3.
The incident ultimately led to Ecke’s suspension as head coach of the Cheshire football team by Superintendent Greg Florio.
The Cheshire Herald reported that Ecke was asked to resign, but refused.
He now will have a chance to defend himself at a yet-to-be determined Board of Education hearing. According to the Record-Journal of Meriden, Florio is recommending Ecke be fired.
Ecke, who’s been the head coach at Cheshire high school for 17 years, declined to discuss the suspension or his future as football coach with Connecticut Post. However, he said he was compelled to defend his actions when the news broke via Board of Education chairman Gerald Whittingham Friday.
“Whatever happens with my future as a coach at Cheshire High, it doesn’t matter,” Ecke told Connecticut Post Friday evening. “For me, my family is my first priority. This was about my son and I’m very protective of him. That’s what this was about.”
According to Ecke, he was standing on the lacrosse sidelines
