This is one of my best days ever on on the GID, I swear to God it is.

I understand where you are coming from, but as I look at this, it's a school/coach issue as much as it is a kid issue. Football is a team sport and while folks get heated in the course of a play and sometimes right after a hit you shove someone or say something, no one should ever feel that they have a right, green light, ability, or anything else to leave the sideline like that, run across the field, and strike someone else. Youth ball may be different than high school ball, but frankly it shouldn't be. I've coached 18 seasons of youth ball and never, in all of my years of coaching, ever had to worry about any of my players talking back to ref, pitching a fit on the field, striking another player after a play even if they were hit first, etc. In every season we have a couple early practices long before we ever play our first game where I sit the kids down and tell them exactly what I expect their behavior to be and exactly what I expect it not to be. We talk about not talking back to a ref or questioning a call. We talk about if they have an issue they tell me about it and I'll talk with the ref or the other coach. We talk about always walking away if you are struck after a play and letting the refs and me worry about what will happen. We also talk about helping the opponent up after a tackle and, if offered a hand up by an opponent accepting that offer even if you took a big hit. We also talk about the fact that they are part of something bigger and that their actions, both on and off the field, are not just reflective upon themselves, but also reflective of their teammates, their coaches, their program, and their schools. Then as part of the talk before the first game I remind them of that and add one more thing, "To act like you've been there before. Be humble in victory, and gracious in defeat." I love it when my kids perform on the field, but I love it just as much when they respect the game, the refs, the opponents, and their own teammates. And my players all know that and know without a doubt exactly how I expect them to play and to act. It's a harsh thing to have happen, but if it happened on one of my teams, I would hold no ill will against the association and I would explain it to my team that the fault was mine and the player's for not doing a better job looking out for our team.

Heck yeah I love Rush

Anyone, (news media, kid's family, SJW's, etc.) that would honestly say the ref is ruining the kids life if he does file charges or other is kidding themselves. The player did that the minute he chose to leave the sidelines and rush the ref. He has to accept the consequences of his actions - a concept that is largely lost on kids in our society today.

The Harrison/Roncalli game was back and forth all the way to the end. One of Roncalli’s closest games of the season.

Not really “The recipient of a gift does not pay tax on any gift valued at $11,000 or less, no matter if it is a boat, car, cash, or stock. This means you don't owe taxes at the time of the gift of the stock. When the recipient sells the stock, however, it is a taxable event.” Just like the SF. Keep ur total points below 6 (or $11k) and no tax.

IU 14, Wisky 6 final! Tom Allen should be national Coach of the Year!

No excuse at all for what that young man did! He should have to face serious assault charges! It's a shame that his teammates have to suffer the consequences of this dumb act!

I'd be surprised if Herdes transfers to Memorial...his cousins play at Mater Dei.

Looking back at the post season, I really feel like Mishawaka Marian and Concordia were a really CLOSE No. 2 and 3 in 3A last year. Over the last 2 years, other than 2 losses to Cathedral, no other teams played Chatard as closely as Marian and Concordia did in Regional and Semi-State this year. Hats off to the North this year in 3A.

Is it just me that this GIF makes me think of Howie Long?

Here's the new CI, as proposed by Dante Estonia: TH South TH North BHSS BHSN BNL Martinsville Northview Southport fills Martinsville's spot in the Mid-State; Columbus North fills BNL's spot in the Hoosier Hills. Now we have stability.

I have always been under the impression that the player stays on the sidelines because there may not be a place for him to go where he can be under supervision. I understand all the this that and the other but that was the thought process to keep the players in the bench area where the supervision is

I SAW Rush on the tour for their first album. I swear to God I did.

He’ll be playing for Lane Kiffen in a couple years. Not just kids ... look around

Conform or be cast out........

No way they are moving to Illinois. Illinois is losing population because of tax rates.

This is the latest info from just the last several minutes on a Texas football forum - so take it for what it's worth. Got folk down here stirred up big time. Charges have been filed - class A misdemeanor. Player is supposedly in jail with $10K cash bond. Player is suspended from school for the remainder of the year. US31 is correct, the school board met with district (conference) officials and they have removed the school from the playoffs. The UIL (Texas' version of IHSAA) used to require an ejected player to leave the sidelines (i.e. go to locker room), but changed it allowing them to stay on sidelines, just can't play. This might make them re-think that one.

So did I. Great school.

I went to ISU. 🙂

If the kid is a juvenile, that sort of thing is possible. It’s not exactly like a criminal prosecution. A different system in several meaningful ways. That may be possible.

Naw, he would have been shot by the security guard.

Justifiably or not new businesses won't relocate to TH because of the union reputation.

Which domino (state) will be the first to fall, ensuring President Trump's minimum 2nd term? 🤔 Some on the left cheated and got caught. Treason. https://www.theepochtimes.com/arizona-legislature-calls-for-immediate-forensic-audit-of-dominion-voting-machines_3605367.html?utm_source=newsnoe&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=breaking-2020-12-04-4

Just seems like a no-brainer to me...plus I think that Lafayette Jeff was sort of proven to be a paper tiger these last two seasons...they have problems of their own when it comes to scheduling. Jeff needs the DAC schools more than the alternative.
