O.J. Mayo Ejected for Taunting

January 27th, 2007

Huntington High was victorious Friday night, defeating Capital 77-64 to remain undefeated in their quest for a national championship. But that undefeated streak may be in jeopardy.

Huntington star senior and future USC Trojan, O.J. Mayo scored on a breakaway dunk with a little over 5 mniutes left in the game but was issued a technical foul for taunting. Mayo received a second technical, at the other end of the court when he continued to argue with other Capital players. After being ejected, Mayo followed the referee to the scorers table to dispute the call and bumped into the official from behind causing the referee fell to the court before being escorted to the locker room. OJ Mayo finished with 18 points.

According to the West Virginia Secondary School Activities Commission rule, Mayo would have to miss Huntington’s next two games, which are against nationally ranked Artesia from Lakewood, Calif., at Duke University in Durham, N.C., and Friday against Scott County (Ky.) at the University of Kentucky.
