For the Times-News’ latest Sunday Big Story — which came out today, Feb. 25 — I wrote about sports at the Idaho School for the Deaf and the Blind.

I explored the evolution, dynamics and importance of ISDB athletics in the feature.

On Jan. 29, the College of Southern Idaho men’s basketball coach told me that two of his best players, Charles Jones Jr. and Danya Kingsby, were suspended indefinitely for a “violation of team rules.” That was all the coach would/could disclose.

I contacted some sources close to the team and discovered that the two players had been suspended for failing drug tests. My Times-News editors and I try to avoid using anonymous sources, but we agreed that my sources were credible enough to publish the drug test information without on-the-record confirmation.

Both players ultimately served two-game suspensions.
