BOYS’ SOCCER

Source: Manitou soccer players suspended for pot

A family member of a player on the Manitou Springs boys’ soccer team told The Gazette on Thursday that members of the Mustangs were suspended earlier this week for marijuana use.

On Thursday, the short-handed Mustangs lost to The Vanguard School, 5-0.

Tuesday’s scheduled game against Lamar was postponed.

Manitou Springs athletic director John McGee refused comment Wednesday.

Coach Ben Mack did not return phone calls seeking comment.
