COLUMBUS — A newspaper reports the Ohio High School Athletic Association wants to penalize a school overseen by a high-profile Ohio religious leader.

The Columbus Dispatch reported Monday that it has obtained an email in which the association details alleged violations by Harvest Preparatory School and spells out plans to bar the school from postseason games through the 2012-2013 school year.

The allegations include the use of two football players who should have been academically ineligible but had their grades changed.

The newspaper reports the school is operated by the Rev. Rod Parsley of World Harvest Church outside Columbus.

Athletic association official Bob Goldring says the organization is waiting to hear from Harvest Prep.

Harvest Prep spokesman Mark Youngkin tells the Dispatch that discussions between attorneys and the association are ongoing.
