Bluegreymom Posted October 7, 2019 Report Share Posted October 7, 2019 (edited) I have a question. I keep hearing people say that SD wouldn’t bother with the appeal unless they were sure they had evidence to overturn it, but why not? Is there a penalty or fine or something if the TSSAA doesn’t rule in their favor and the ejection is upheld? Why wouldn’t they bother with the appeal? At worst nothing changes, at best they get their guy back for Friday. Seems like a no brainer to at least try even if the evidence isn’t as inconclusive as they claim.

A friend on the staff told me that it would be appealed. May already have been. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on what videos or pictures they sent in but from the angles I have seen it still seems weak to me. But still a slim chance it’ll get overturned. Hate it for the kid. I wish others really did see how awful the referees were that game. Im sure this was not the only call sent in for review. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The appeal was granted and he will be able to play in the next game. But he still lost the entire game against Seymour minus 4 plays. And that was pivotal in that game. The targeting rule needs to be revisited without having immediate replay in high school football. It needs to be proved, not disproved, through video AFTER the game is over. The player should continue and only suspended for the next game if targeting can be confirmed via video.

This I can get on board with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
