Both kids were fighting before the ref even got to them. LHSAA told everyone the rules. Absolutely ok with their ruling.
Crowd control is on the home team. If the officials let the game get out of hand, that’s for LHSAA to fix beyond the game. Read an article during the Eunice/WM mess going down at least 8 teams’ playoff hopes got crushed due to this stupidity.
Both my kids officiated soccer and were decent. Both quit because of being cursed at repeatedly by adults. That was almost 20 years ago. I’m gathering across the board, it has not gotten better.
LHSAA has to have a zero tolerance policy because it’s apparently not getting better at the youth level. They’re trying to save h/s sports like them or not. Mommy and daddy aren’t.
