It's a bit hard to find a lot of information that is going on. I really don't know exactly what to think and who to point fingers at. The video can be a finger pointing of they did this they did this but the end result is you see both teams heavily involved. I can tell there is a big mass of coaches trying to break it up, but I can also see some people on the field who are just watching it go on.

 

I've been reading Facebook posts on the story and some peoples comments. I don't want either team to be out of the playoffs, but with a situation like this, it's hard to come up with an argument that states they should be allowed in. I know people on both coaching staffs and I know this is a rivalry game, but it seems like things have intensified with the new change ups that have been having at Crockett, and rightly so. That said, something needs to be done when five players are pulling and jumping on a kid. It's football, but no one wants to see this from anyone.

 

I'm glad no one got hurt, and its especially bad because from all reports, it was one of the better Musket Bowl games in recent memory. A back and forth lead is always exciting.

I think the local news here in Johnson City reported that fans did come onto the field and one even punched a police officer. Both schools will definitely face punishment for what happened. It made the national news for crying out loud. There's no way either school gets off without a harsh penalty.

Wouldn't punish the school for someone that will be sharing an intimate 6 by 8 for something as stupid as punching a police officer. We could have local fans do something that stupid tonight and say they are SH or DB fans

I get the playoff ban this season and maybe even next as a punitive action but 3 years seems excessive. Now maybe if there was a history of things like this it might be a different story but I don't think either program has risen to that level. Crockett has been developing a reputation lately though.

I agree. Three years is too long. Edited by TomJoad

    • “No college is going to offer a scholarship to a player that is kicked off of the team.” For language? I’m not seeing that as a dealbreaker. 
    • Why did the coach get rehired after she was let go as an assistant by the former Warren County coach and the current AD?? Is that accurate?? I am very familiar with situations like this. Suprised lawsuits haven't happend before. If the coach unfairly let the player go, I think she has a shot because it cost her a scholarship. No college is going to offer a scholarship to a player that is kicked off of the team. Not going to happen. There are bad hires like this a bunch and kids are treated unfairly by coaches that can't coach a lick and have super long ropes somehow. Amazing how some of these coaches get hired and keep their job. 
    • I am going to assume you are not a lawyer, and most reasonable lawyers would not say the lawsuit has a zero percent chance in court. I agree with you that a coach has the ability to dismiss anyone from a team. However, Ms. Winfree was never presented with the opportunity to present her witnesses and have them tell the coaches and administrators what they heard. A lawyer could better explain the lawsuit and the grounds to you. Before you start making wild assumptions about the lawsuit, would it be too much to ask that you do a little legal research first? The lawsuit is dealing with due process, loss of property, and defamation.   You can read the lawsuit here: https://bdnewsletter.files.wordpress.com/2024/04/doc-1-complaint-filed-4-18-2024.pdf  
    • The administration took the path of backing the coach and whispering to people that the kid was a problem. The reality is that the kid was never a problem on a team or classroom. The player says she has witnessed who back her not saying the f-word.  Why did the coach make that story up and other stories? I am not Sigmund Freud and do not have an answer for the ex=-coach's behavior..  
    • I think they have they coach they want close to being done. I guess we will all see how this plays out. I hope the hire a good one. There are some players in the box for the next coach to work with.
