Unfortunately my officiating crew drew a winless team at 0-9 visiting a 2-7 team with a history of bad blood between the two. We will call it tight in the beginning to avert problems between the two like last year, which included a fight and three ejections.

Re: High school football season is upon us
Ouch. Ugly. We tossed 3 in a game last year for fighting but that’s it. This past week we got on the same two teams early and often to keep a lid on things and it worked. Lots of talking to the kids preemptively helps. I’ve heard far worse situations at peewee games with coaches and parents.PeteRasche wrote:Thought of you, TUPF:

Re: High school football season is upon us
Without knowing the particulars I’d absolutely agree. We have actually discussed a situation like this in our preseason discussion and what my association would do would be to stop the game that day. Then it would be a joint conference with both school ADs the following day to determine whether to resume the game or let it stand as is. I could see a couple of ejections—in my ejection game last year we tossed 3 because one player came off the bench—but any more than that means a total loss of control of the game.gerryb323 wrote:Sounds lazy.

They should have just ended the game. Less knock on repercussions.TUPF wrote:Without knowing the particulars I’d absolutely agree.

In true Mississippi fashion, the Egg Bowl listens to all of TUPF's refereeing horror stories, burps, and says, "Hold my beer."
