"upper class" sportsmanship from usj

In a post earlier this season, i made a statement that said that Humboldt exhibited the worst sportsmanship i had ever seen. I would like to formally and publicly retract that statement and apologize to Humboldt. In friday nite's game between milan and usj, i witnessed what was by far the worst, inexcusable display of blatant cheap shots, intentional eye gouges, and kicks to areas that were off limits even in elementary school fights. In a play in the fourth quarter when the score was 27-0 with no time left to mount a comeback, i watched one of my best friends go to the ground, screaming with pain, after a usj defensive player went out of his way to dive at his knees when neither of the two were a major part of the play. My friend didnt have the ball and the usj defender wasn’t even his man to block. Several people on the field reported hearing firsthand the usj players stating, "we finally got you!" Now this was just one of many events that took place on the field. The before mentioned events as well as plenty of racial slurs were also predominant throughout the game. I hope this thread is not closed. Im not trying to instigate anything, at least not here, i just want to expose the wrongdoing that was allowed by both usj's coaches and the officials. Something should be done about this. High school players only have four years to play and to attempt to take someone's senior season in week #4, at a point in the game when usj couldn't possibly win is unspeakable. My friend, Alred, is trying to schedule an MRI for tomorrow, Monday the 17th. Any prayers would appreciated.

I suspect that this thread will be closed very soon. If the statements you make are true, talking about it on this forum will do you no good. If they are true, I am sure the game tape would show the actions you mention. If it does, then your coach and principal should make a report and forward a copy of the tape to the TSSAA offices. Complaining about it here won't accomplish anything.

Prayers from Jackson tn. No coach should allow that to happen.

Believe him, they are true.

Reitzfan is correct. Let your school and the TSSAA deal with this. I am going to lock this thread as it will quickly run out of control and this is not the forum to handle it properly.

    • As I said somewhere earlier in the thread, the original plans had no outdoor athletic facilities being part of the campus.  The original plan was for HVA to use facilities at nearby schools.  Very late in the process they came up with a plan and found budget to have minimal facilities and crammed them in to space that never was intended for athletic facilities.  
    • Agreed, the way the field is turned you get the evening sun blasting right into the press box making filming a nightmare there, plus its so low.  The field is land locked and parking is a nightmare too. Seems like Knox County could have done a lot better there with the design and the quality. 
    • I think this upcoming team may be pretty good, they will definately be better up front and if they can replace Dozier, Heyward and Rembert, they can be real good. They have the same strange schedule, but this time with 5 straight home games. The road games at Jeff County, Powell will be tough to open up with and the back side at Bearden is the tough game there.  One question I had if anyone knows: There has been some talk of an indoor practice facility in the past, with the new track area now more of a track area, that kind of leaves a need for a football practice area. Just sayin....
    • I find it hard to believe that 70% of a schools enrollment is zoned for another school district
    • I was told that the indoor facility is happening regardless of the vote on the taxes but it would be a much bigger project with more funds if they vote goes through
