Blackhawk Athletic Director Has Yet to Respond to Calls for Him To Return To Work; Thanks Fans for Support
Blackhawk School District Athletic Director Jack Fullen is not yet releasing any public comment regarding calls for him to return to work. Fullen was on administrative leave following an altercation with a school board member at last Friday night’s football game at Northwestern Football Stadium, where Blackhawk played West Allegheny. But during last night’s school board meeting, Fullen was reportedly re-instated by the school superintendent. But it’s still not clear if he did return to work today. But Fullen did contact Al Goehring this morning to say ‘thank you’ to all of his supporters who showed up at the meeting last night and for sticking by him. No word on whether or not he will attend the Montour game tonight.
