Wow! What an exciting game between the cats and the Panthers. As a LA fan, I was delighted with the victory (two years in a row ) over the Panthers. Livingston fans always look forward to playing teams like Portland who are known for great football. However, I was sorely disappointed by the lack of sportsmanship displayed on the gridiron on Friday night. Portland players received penalties for dirty play between the whistles and foul language beforee the ball was snapped. I also witnessed irate behavior by Portland coaches toward the officials. I would think that Portland High School would want to represent itself in a more positive manner. Come on Coach, teach your boys how to represent their team, school, community, and families in a way to bring honor instead of reproach. With this type of behavior, I can understand why Portland has had two or three players ejected from games this year. Players should be taught how to handle a loss as graciously as a win.
Way to go LA!!
