Ashley Holden is excited to be part of the A-Team!

The meeting comes one day after the Peoria High School boy's basketball coach, Patrick Batillo, was arrested. Batillo is a Suns superfan known by many as"Mr. ORNG".

On Wednesday, court documents said he was accused of using Snapchat to contact at least one male student, offering them money in exchange for sexually explicit videos and pictures. Another teacher, Holly Holgate, was also arrested. According to Peoria Police, one of the victims told her about the inappropriate messages. Police said instead of reporting the allegations to the school, she told Battillo who allegedly left campus."I want to emphasize that our district is fully cooperating with law enforcement partners and their investigation," said PUSD Supt. Kenneth Somers.

"It may be that we need a full investigation at that high school or maybe in general as people are speaking tonight," said another.The district said both employees are on leave pending the outcome of the criminal investigation.
