Report: Five DeMatha Football Players Cut After Alleged Prostitute Fling

The incident happened at a team hotel after season opening road game in North Carolina, The Washington Post reports.

The DeMatha Catholic High School Football team has cut five of its players after they allegedly snuck three prostitutes into their hotel room following last week's season opening rout of Hillside High School in North Carolina, according to The Washington Post. 

The Washington Post's Paul Tenorio reported the story late Thursday evening and is relying on information provided by two anonymous sources close to the team. The paper did not name any of the five players involved in the incident, citing their ages.

School officials declined to go into detail on the incident. Head football coach Elijah Brooks and Principal Dan McMahon both told the Post that they would not be commenting.
