The WPIAL board scheduled an afternoon hearing Monday to consider an appeal from Penn Hills administrators and Indians football coach Jon LeDonne, who’s facing a one-game suspension .

The WPIAL disciplined LeDonne and Penn Hills athletics after someone ignited a smoke grenade on their side of the football field before the WPIAL Class 5A championship at Norwin in November.

The hearing follows the monthly board of directors meeting.
