Trojan 87

Exactly. I'm more concerned with these young men being productive members of society than winning a game. You can debate if the punishment is too harsh but at the end of the day, it is what it is. Don't put yourself in that position to start with.

For everyone on here that is upset with this punishment put the shoe on the other foot! if that was your child then the punishment wouldn't be harsh enough. Im sure Devon is very apologetic for his actions and I respect him for giving his public apology but at some point kids have to realize that athletics are not mandatory but simply a reward for being a good student and a person of god character.  Hopefully he understands the magnitude and severity of his actions. Its better to understand that every action has a consequence now.

That's good to hear. Everyone seems to be concerned about Devon and Silsbee going back to state. Not seeing much interest directed to the kid at LCM. I've watched a lot of high school sports over the last 30 years and I can't think of anything dirtier than what happened Tuesday night. To put it into perspective, Kermit Washington once did that in the NBA and destroyed Rudy Tomajanovich's face and career. His punishment was 60 days and $10,000. That's the only other incident that I can think of to compare this to.

That's what I was looking for. So apparently there has been an apology?
