South Pittsburg @ Coalfield

[TrainTracks99]

Roy and powerp, The following 7 players will be suspended as well as the coach 12,20,21,42,50,51 and number 58. some of these extend into next year but the coach only one game. Even the ball boy... I'm not Kidding.

 

Wow that's a huge blow...This games outcome doesn't sound like it will tell us much of anything but regardless execution is what's needed for this team to get better...They really need to put a good game together before GVille and no I don't expect SP to lose especially with those guys out....Sorry Ambassader but if Pirates lose this one then Coalfield will be the one upsetting not vice versa...

Here's your info for all you South Pitt fans. No need to worry about Coalfield middle/highschool as one smart ####

has writen. There's no need to even play the game. This stinks out loud! concerntrate on your next opponent Coalfield is done!

 

 

Eight Coalfield High School football players, coach Keith Henry and even a ball boy will serve suspensions Friday night in the Yellow Jackets' Class 1A state quarterfinal game against South Pittsburg.

 

TSSAA executive director Bernard Childress, in a letter Wednesday to Coalfield principal Robert Bennett, outlined the punishments derived from reviewing a game film from last Friday's game between Coalfield and Lookout Valley that featured an on-field brawl midway through the second quarter.

 

Five Coalfield players will serve suspensions of four games or longer that will extend into their 2012 season.

 

One player received a two-game suspension for leaving the bench area "but not becoming actively involved," Childress wrote.

 

Two players, who are seniors, will serve a one-game suspension. In addition, those two will also serve five-game suspensions that will apply to any other sport they choose to participate in during the remainder of their senior years.

 

Henry was required to miss Friday's game "for failing to maintain control of the sidelines during the game," Childress wrote.

 

The ball boy was relieved of his duties for leaving the sidelines and coming onto the field during the altercation.

 

Coalfield also chose to implement a zero-tolerance policy for any future such altercations.

 

"We want to commend the administration at Coalfield High School on the manner in which this situation has been handled and jointly coming to a solution," wrote Childress. "Because of the actions taken and agreed upon, we find no need to take further action."

 

More details later online and in Thursday's News Sentinel.

 

This is way too steep. TSSAA went way too far with this.

Seriously though I do hate it for yall all those players are not going to get to play. Should actually moivate yall more. I'm sure you have another good coach that can takeover. I will have to say that I am shocked at the severe punishment.

Coalfield High reccommended this action not TSSAA. TSSAA accepted that penalty.

I feel especially bad if there were any seniors that got suspended. What a not so nice way to end your career. Our boys at SP better take notice of this and I'm sure Coach Grider has already read this article to them and has fair warned them it could happen to us if we don't watch ourselves!!

two players were seniors. they will be suspended in any other sports they may play this year up until they fulfill the number of games they were suspend for.

You have a good ball boy when the other team has to block him with a full back.

We went through this with Central last year, BUT Whitwell was the next game and not Eagleville/Gordonsville winner.

BTW it hurt's to have that many suspended but look at our side we had 5-7 starters hurt for alot of the season so we know what it's like to play without some of your better player's.
