I'm confused? How does Univ. School of Jackson play in the A/AA State and the DII-A state at the same time? This is listed on the BigOnes contest.

No I believe that was cleared up in the DB Tournament schedule of games.

Congratulations Mark !!!! Much Deserved! Will miss watching you play in the High School venue but all the best at Memphis!

IDK if Carter wins and Alcoa wins you could face him again in the state semi's no? Sorry maybe not the semi's but the finals

Newspaper reported Fulton 4, Harriman 2.

anyone know when these will be played?

DITTO!

The only connection would be if the coach knew a young man was in a 'worked up' state and left him in to play. I'm not saying this is what happened in this instance. Otherwise I am in agreement with you that a ref, coach, or parent is not responsible for throwing the punch here. But, if they fueled the fire that led to it are they an accessory? I was being more general because I feel this won't be the last fight that breaks out in a soccer game. Authority for control on the field and consequences should be clearly outlined now that there have been at least two events.

Actually I feel the blame goes to ALL. Players for out of control emotions, coaches for not recognizing and subbing appropriately -- in for the win maybe?, and refs for not keeping better control of the game even fans/parents for perpetuating the mood of a team. As you said many times it is the ref that has a hand in setting the tone of a match. In such a circumstance they then should at least blow a whistle in an attempt to gain some attention if not full control of a volatile situation. I just feel it took all parties involved in the game to get to where it ended up and all should then be accountable.

If the refs kept a better handle on the games many of these incidents would not be incidents. All the blame seems to be placed on the the players and coaches. Shouldn't their be a review of the officiating and sanctions for their part in this or rather lack thereof? 'Blame' should be distributed to ALL involved.
