HAMILTON – The Trenton Catholic Academy boys soccer team has been banned from entering the NJSIAA tournament this year after players and a coach received a series of red cards for their reactions to an alleged racial slur used by an opponent.

Two Iron Mikes players and one coach received red cards for flagrant unsportsmanlike conduct Tuesday at the Burlington County Scholastic League Patriot Division match at Bordentown after what the TCA head coach described as a racial slur by one of the Scotties players.

The three red cards came in the final minutes of Bordentown's 3-1 victory. They were issued to players Fomba Tulay and Peter Hall and assistant coach Blamo Klein.

"Fomba said that the Bordentown kid called him the N word," TCA head coach Milton Suah said. "It happened in the middle of the field. They both went up for a ball and Fomba hit him with an elbow. He got a straight red from the ref. As Fomba was walking away toward the bench, the kid must have said something, because Fomba went after him. I don't know what he said, but Fomba was furious when he was on the bench. Fomba said 'That kid called me the N word, and I am not going to take that."
