Grammar (correction by public school spelling bee champion)

I read articles from three different states. The ONLY names mentioned were Lewis, Massengel, and Greenwell. Maybe the team should just be the Flight.

I think if you look closely you will see that recruiting services are promoting this so that they can get the names of 100s, eventually 1000s, of 7th and 8th graders. They will then charge the parents fees over the next 5-6 years for helping their child find a scholarship.

I bet you remember the wins over those four schools more so than all of the other wins put together.

..and PLAYERS OUT OF THE STANDS. ...and COACHES AWAY FROM CHEERLEADERS.

Everyone Shelbyville fan on here understands what I mean but you. I won't be at the region. I am not from your part of the state. But, the threat does fit you.

So are you telling me by not commenting that the LCHS kid was indeed not acting like an angel? I don't even know if I know more than 1 assistant at SCHS now. And I have no clue what assistant coach shoved a cheerleader for LCHS, IF ANY. Don't know how the kid was acting at the time. Like a teenager in the stands celebrating a big win, I guess. So, I guess he deserved the punch?

I have never seen any good come from a player going into the stands and sucker punching a fan, like Ron Artest did. either. Which assistant did shove the cheerleader, then?

Dude, seriously, when did I ever say it was ok? I am just saying I am pretty sure that the LCHS kid was not being a perfect little angel. Find and quote my post where I said it was ok? Please do that. And I know this thread is not about me, but you my friend crossed that line and decided to bring me, my life, my occupation into it. I am cool with it, but you turned this tread around yourself. Think about that one. I didn't out you. Someone else did. You just confirmed what they said. And, again, by saying the LCHS kid was not a perfect little angel you are condoning what Andrews did.

As much as you would like to think it is, this thread is not about you. I am glad you hold kids to a high standard. Lets hope your former school does, too. It is OK for Andrews to punch a fan if he was antagonized. Sad statement on your part. Makes the rest of your comment invalid.

Furthermore: "Member schools are responsible for the conduct of their own fans and students at every athletic contest, regardless of where it may be held. "The coach and principal of each of the schools participating in an athletic contest shall file a report immediately with the state office if there is any unusual incident involving poor sportsmanship, during or following the game, on the part of players, coaches, school administrators, game officials or spectators." Hopefully reports have been, or soon will be, filed by both schools.

http://tssaa.org/Handbook/handbook.pdf on Page 8 Section 8. All games shall be properly supervised to insure sportsmanlike contests. The host school shall be responsible for providing sufficient security to insure orderly conduct on the part of all spectators. Visiting teams shall be accompanied by the principal or someone designated by the principal.

The student body going on the floor had nothing to do with the fight. The students were already back in the stands when Andrews went INTO the stands and hit an LCHS student. Yes, they did go onto the floor. They admit that. Have all along.

From a guy who doesn't know what "I am done on here" means.

My comments were to say that I am sure the LCHS student wasn't totally innocent in this situation, saying nothing about the student's (apostrophe before the s) intelligence. The apostrophe was to represent more than one student since, because you do not know the student in question, it was a general characterization of all LCHS students. Hate to see you go.

Don't even think about complaining at the Region tourney when you students are forced to sit upstairs. I'm not sure that you can sell general admission tickets and force anyone to sit anywhere they choose not to sit.

Randy I thought that you and I might be able to have an itelligent debate..guess not....You win ..Us poor white trash rednecks over here in Lawrence County have been put in our place......next I'm sure your gonna blame us for the bad economy and the war in Iraq... Someone care to show me where I said anyone from Lawrence Co was a poor white trash redneck? I think they confused you with the SCHS principal. Or, maybe it was an insinuation you made about LCHS students' intelligence. Who was the assistant coach who shoved the cheerleader? I think there are two and I want to make sure the wrong one is not accused.

The TSSAA has been a disappointment many times. The kid last year (he intentionally hit a girl but she was not a cheerleader) was announced as Mr. Basketball two days later!

I agree but SCHS may see that as an admission of guilt and we do not know yet if they accept responsibility for their portion of what happened or not. Seemingly the one absolute of this entire event is that Andrews went into the stands and hit a student from Lawrence County.

uh huh. 4 Shelbyville players vs. one poor non threatening LCHS student, probably looking for a place to study calculus. I am sure there were SCHS students injured too. I am questioning Coach Thomas' (supposed) assault......and, I actually am a betting man, and I will bet nothing comes out of this more than a few suspensions. Problem is without a tape, it's just all he said she said. I wish we had one. Listen to yourself, randymc. I hope you aren't a teacher. You are defending a kid who assaulted another kid.

randymc: since you like to refer to Oakland, what happens if an OHS player hit a Siegel fan Friday night and it was not self-defense? What do Coach King and Mr. Vaughn do when he shows up at school tomorrow, if they haven't already? (I bet Mr. Vaughn wouldn't have called the Siegel fans "white trash", either.)

First, this is not the NCAA. Second, if the TSSAA has a punishment in place for going on the court after a game then LCHS should pay it. Now, what should the punishment for assault(s) be that SCHS needs to step up and take responsibility for?

People go to jail for years and pay hefty fines for assault and there is a reason for this..... So, what is your point?

It is early, Jeff. She may want it to be over instead of pressing charges. And, maybe it wasn't Thomas. Maybe it was his assistant. Who would that have been?
