The suspension of Cleveland High receiver Alex Kalinowski was rescinded by the City Section on Thursday, which enabled the senior to play in the team’s 28-9 victory over El Camino Real.

According to Kalinowski’s father, the suspension was lifted because videotape of the fight did not clearly show the writing on his son’s stomach.
