While arraignments have begun in Lowell Juvenile Court for seven Woburn students, including five football players, charged with assaulting Coucelos, his parents say the report underscores that Woburn school officials — head football coach Jack Belcher, athletic director Jim Duran, and principal Jessica Callanan, among them — failed to adequately protect their son.
An inexperienced and ill-trained volunteer assistant football coach failed to inform his supervisors at Woburn Memorial High School after a 14-year-old freshman player, Johnathan Coucelos, reported last fall that he was jumped by teammates in a locker room, according to an independent investigator’s report obtained by the Globe.
The 60-page report includes statements by Chase Andrews, the first-year volunteer assistant who was 23 at the time, and head freshman coach Chris Scichilone that they were not formally trained about hazing before Coucelos was accosted. https://www.bostonglobe.com/2022/06/24/sports/inquiry-points-lapses-woburn-football-assault/
