Good for the LE administration for taking a stand and doing more than required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only 5 or 6 will be able to play for the next game after BYE. This is his doing not UIL..Hard lesson to learn, but they have to learn not to retaliate & have self composure regardless if they didn't start it. They can't live life like that. La Vega 's Coach should do the same. But I heard he's not going to do anything.. The Gazzete article says that La Vega will have similar consequences, but who knows 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEXAShorn21 Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 That would be the right thing. I guess only time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Everide2016 Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Any player that left the bench and showed aggression, i.e. threw a punch, or a helmet, should be out for more than one game. I don't know what's the most appropriate penalty, but only one game seems super light. That's a very minor slap on the wrist for something that would be considered assault out on the street. I can see a kid already on the field doing something in the heat of the moment with little to no time to think about what they're doing, but a kid on the sideline has a few moments to make that conscious decision to leave the bench area, enter the field of play, and make their way to the brawl.

Only the players fighting are suspended for a game. LaVega is doing the same with its players. L-E will have to bring up some jayvee and freshmen to fill roster for Spring Hill game. Hope everyone learned a lesson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swaha Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Supposedly, La Vega is not playing any varsity players in the first half against Stephenville. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawknation03 Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 I'm getting some first hand accounts on this situation. While I certainly believe there was conduct by some of the leopards that warrants punishment, I think I understand the initial response from one of the Leopard players to protect his teammate. I did not know if the reports were true about a LV player stomping one of the LE players but one of the law enforcement officials that worked the game confirmed that an LE player was being stomped while he was on the ground. This prompted the response from the Leopards. It went to chaos afterward. If there was an official who witnessed the LV player stomping the LE player then that LV player should be gone for the year. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gone for the year for kicking a player ? Man you are harsh. I can see a one game suspension for kicking or punching or fighting but not a whole season.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said, a L. E. lineman at my church told me that a LV player body slammed running back Damien Henderson after Henderson scored a touchdown and a L. E. player, a lineman came to Henderson's defense. Things escalated from there. It will be interesting to see what LV will do. They probably can't beat Stephenville without being at full strength.

Teams from odd-numbered districts who are traditionally tough opponents are often left scrambling to fill their non-district schedules. Traditionally weak opponents don't have that problem. Your right, but common sense says you still don’t schedule a Texarkana to Waco home and home series Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was on the ground and a player jumped high into the air and came down on his back with both feet and all of his body weight. It wasn’t no ndamaka Sue type stomp it was WWF without the acting.
