Thursday was a tough day for Serra Padres football. First, the school’s most famous alum, Tom Brady was questioned by the media about his role in under-inflated footballs in the AFC championship game. Shortly after that the California Interscholastic Federation’s Central Coast Section banned the school from the playoffs for the next two years as a penalty for refusing to play a consolation playoff game last season against Milpitas.
In addition to the ban, the Serra athletic department has been placed on probation and the school must make financial restitution of more than $6,000.
