Three Morton Ranch football coaches under investigation
Three Morton Ranch football coaches have been placed on administrative leave effective immediately, including head football coach and athletic director Scott Svendsen.
In a statement released Saturday, the Katy Independent School District said it was investigating allegations that three Morton Ranch High School coaches were violating district policies regarding student records, possible misuse of funds, and athletic eligibility. The release did not name the three coaches.
Morton Ranch girls basketball coach Pam Bowers confirmed one of those coaches is Svendsen, who is in his second season.
Bowers said the coaching staff would be briefed on the situation Wednesday when they report to school.
“I was told that he’d been put on administrative leave,” Bowers said. “That’s all.”
Svendsen did not return calls seeking comment. Parents and student-athletes at Morton Ranch were made aware of the situation and briefed on Friday night
Svendsen is the most successful coach in Morton Ranch’s short history. He took over a team last season that had won one game in its first two varsity seasons. Morton Ranch went 6-4, which included a five-game winning streak.
