How do figure this? The rules clearly state if you leave the bench area during a fight you are automatically suspended for the next game.


Earlier this year Brawl breakouts in Lake Area v Karr

Now it was totally Lake Area's faulty, & the game was halted in the 3rd quarter. No one was suspended for leaving the bench on either team.

quote:

Lake Area head coach Derrick Lewis has been suspended for the team’s upcoming game Friday against Riverdale.

Lewis will not be allowed access to the team nor the facility before, during or after the game. A coach, who must be a member of Lake Area’s faculty, will coach the team this week.

Brown said a meeting is scheduled for Wednesday morning to decide who that coach will be.

One player, Lake Area’s Carnell McDaniels, has been removed from the team for the rest of the season.

Another unnamed Lake Area player received a one-game suspension.

There were no penalties for Karr, the home team in the game played at Behrman Stadium.

They can appeal and will do so tomorrow morning, although I don't know the odds of this getting overturned.

Shitty way to end a season.

Bogalusa started the fight after Amite scored, Bogulusa's benched cleared first while Amite's coaches were trying to hold the team back. Amite's benched cleared and all hell broke loose cops on horses came out on to the field to attempt to break the fight up. I know this because I was there and I have no video.

If it's not overturned this will turn into a race issue. I guarantee it.

I was there also and from what I saw the Amite player scored. Something must have been said because there was pushing and shoving and the next thing you know punches started flying. Both benches cleared and even fans on the field. It got very ugly but there was a lot that lead up to the fight. I've seen a lot of high school football and have seen bad officiating but this was the worse crew that I have ever seen. This just made tensions higher. Bogalusa would have still lost this game but it would have been much closer. Secondly, with 5:00 minutes left in the game and Amite up by 30 the Amite coaching staff left all the starters in. He was still throwing the ball and clearly trying to run the score up. With 4:00 minutes left in the game is when Amite scored and all hell broke loose. This game was clearly out of reach for Bogalusa to come back. Their starting QB was hurt at the beginning of the 4th quarter and he was Bogalusa's offense. There is a time to call the dogs off. The Amite coach would have felt stupid if any of his starters would have gotten hurt at that point in the game.

Doesn't matter who started it the problem lies with the entire team leaving the bench area to get involved in the fight

Anyone who leave the bench in a fight is automatically suspended for the next game. The entire bench cleared leaving them with 0 eligible players for the next game



Would be hard to just sit there while the rest of your team is engaged.. I just this this is too harsh..

The link says St. James would simply advance to the finals. What a bunch of bullshite.

Don't start fights like a bunch of thugs. Amite can only blame themselves. And this is a better option than letting the team that lost to Amite advance and play St.James. That would just be stupid

yeah if you don't leave your bench and the other team does it might be 50 on 11 or something like that... who would want to play for a team where they don't have each others' back?

It's bullshite that there have been numerous fights this year with video evidence and the entire teams did not get suspended. This one has no video evidence and they jump the gun and suspend the entire team.
