Amid reports of unacceptable acts and behavior on a recent road trip, the Bishop Union High School boys junior varsity baseball team has been disbanded for the 2019 season.

Rumors have swirled in recent days about the bus ride and events in a motel room when the Broncos participated in the two-day Yerington Tournament earlier this month. Some of the alleged sexual misconduct was videoed and uploaded to social media accounts, according to unconfirmed reports.

Several sources say one player was, at one point, held down against his will.

School officials are limited in what information can be released, with minors and personnel matters involved.

Stacy Van Nest, athletic director at Bishop Union High, emailed this statement:

“I regret to inform you that due to athletic suspensions, I have no choice but to collapse my JV baseball team. I apologize, but I need to cancel all remaining games. This is for the junior varsity baseball team only.

“Unfortunately, the actions of a few have shortened the season for the rest. However, at Bishop Union High School we prioritize holding our athletes to a high standard as it is a privilege to participate in athletics, not a right.”

Bishop Unified School District is on spring break this week. A call has been made to Bishop High principal Randy Cook, who was out of the office today.

Sources say the state of Nevada has or will file charges, and there was also information about a threatened lawsuit against Bishop Unified School District.
