Beech @ Hendersonville.

He declared a player ineligible for tonight’s game at 5 today. Hendersonville’s best defensive player. It was from the hazing incident from last year. Final decision was reached last week. 20 hours of community service for 3 players, letter of apology. Judge said ok for him to play. I suspect Langford got a call from a certain principal and made his decision at 5.  Take nothing away from Beech, they deserved to win. Unacceptable from Langford. 

Let’s clear some things up… Langfords call didn’t come from a certain principal, it came from the DA. The certain principal argued the kid should be able to play. Apparently part of the final decision you left out is the no contact order. The DA said since the victim was on the Beech team, the HHS kid couldn’t be on the field. That certain principal and Crabtree argued that the Beech player wasn’t going to play anyway and to let the HHS kid play. The DA said no. Langford didn’t have an option and the certain principal certainly had nothing to do with making a call to get the kid not to play.

Not true.  Kid was told last week as was the administration that he would play.  Practiced all week with the first team knowing he would play.  Why the last minute call then to HHS yesterday telling him he could not play? Doesn’t matter, Beech won the game, congrats to them,  Same old good ole boy from the director just like Phillips.

While it is true he was told he would be able to play, it is inaccurate that it came from Beech admin or coaches. I know exactly where it came from and how it transpired, but this is not the setting to discuss it. It was wrong that he didn’t get to play and both admin and coaching staff were pushing for him to play. The admin had multiple calls with the board office stating this. The Beech player involved was not going to see the field and it would have been a nonissue.
