OKLAHOMA CITY - The OSSAA Board has made the self-imposed suspensions on Jenks football coach Allan Trimble and assistant coach David Alexander indefinite.
The board made that announcement following an executive session Wednesday morning.
The OSSAA's board of directors wrapped up an executive session shortly before noon, by announcing it agreed with most of the punishment the Jenks School district decided to impose on its own athletic department.
Look at the OSSAA agenda
The meeting took place at the OSSAA's headquarters in Oklahoma City.
As NewsOn6.com and OKBlitz.com reported, last Friday afternoon the district released the results of an investigation which it had requested from the Rosenstein, Fist & Ringold law firm in Tulsa.
Read the findings of the Jenks' athletic department investigation
That investigation centered on former Jenks football player Jarrett Lake and six other unnamed players, one of which is still on the team.
It led to the suspension of Jenks head football coach Allan Trimble for the rest of the season, a 15-day suspension for Jenks athletic director Tony Dillingham as well as lesser punishment for other members of the Jenks High School football program.
The district said it meted out the penalties to the staff members in an attempt to head off even harsher sanctions from the OSSAA.
That strategy apparently worked.
