He kicked the bad apple off of the team or he canceled the entire season for the rest of the team? edit: was referring to your comment of Dubois kicking player off of team for poor behavior.

I highly doubt that removing this team from the playoffs is going to deter the next deranged, moronic 18 year old from losing his mind and attacking a ref. Whether that be next week or 8 years from now. It has happened multiple times before and will happen again. The “make an example out of them” mantra does not fit in this exclusive situation. If a kid is going to assault someone, he is not going to stop and think to himself, “I remember when Edinburg got removed from the playoffs for tackling a ref, I shouldn’t do that.”

No one knows the details of the first incident other than the article circulating that says the student was involved in a similar incident during soccer. That’s it. That’s all anyone has heard. No one knows the actual severity. If the first incident was as similar as the recent incident, I imagine the coach removed the kid from the soccer program and the kid served a suspension. I imagine the kid was put on a growth plan to help the kid grow and get a second chance. I would like to believe the coach has felt the kid, up until this point, has obeyed and shown growth since the first incident. It is very clear the kid did not value and has ruined his second chance. The coach approached the situation with the mindset that he would like to put the kid in a situation where he had an opportunity to learn from his first mistake. I know in today’s world people do not like to offer second chances, but I believe that is probably what happened in this situation. I have seen second chances work, where a kid returns to a program and becomes a model citizen. Which it seems a second chance is what this kid received. I have also seen students be kicked out of an extracurricular program and go down a path of crime, incarceration, or even death due to the lack of organization and discipline a sports program may offer. It’s a two way street. The coach gave the kid a second chance, the kid screwed it up. To me that’s the situation. Now I have a major problem if the second chance was warranted due to his major role on the team instead of the betterment of a kid.

Horrible incident. Kid should be jailed. Kid should be expelled and removed from school. Players and coaches should not be punished because of the barbaric behavior of another 18 year old kid. Truly selfish and idiotic behavior of one student will be a stain on the school and it’s programs for a long time.

Wasn’t there more than one Gohlke boys that played @ PNG? Feel like I remember multiple through the years of MCM.

A handful of insiders doubted the coaching staff all year long up until this point. It probably feels better for that staff to prove the insiders wrong versus the outsiders.

Man.

Mr. BG hitting the bottle tonight!? Hope they continue to play well. Has been one of the most under achieving programs in the state.

Don’t let the dogs hang around! They just kept fighting and weathering the storm. Great win.

Dayton is one of the better winless teams around. Games only get bigger from here. Hope to play a more complete game next week.

He is a good player. Need some others to step up.

Tacky.

Dayton is desperate for a win. Don’t let them hang around, Dogs.

There is no telling. Everyday it is something new.

HJ was very talented that year. Padgett was special. Don’t know as much about this group, other than QB makes them go.

2014. HJ went to 3rd round that year. Lost to JK Dobbins / La Grange. WOS turned around and beat the brakes off La Grange the following week.

Not sure that beating the two worst teams in the district by a bigger margin than the 3 teams that beat you really means anything.

Ned stays on track. Continues to learn who they are in the meantime.

Comparing schedules. Trojan fans, What happened against Huntington?

If BH is going to ever earn that preseason ranking, it better start this week.

Let’s go Dogs!! Theriot going to have them ready to fly around!

What did GCM do that makes you say their coaching is suspect? Pure curiosity, with zero knowledge of GCM.

Go dogs! MCM in two weeks. Should be a good one as always

Wishful thinking, huh?

Hopefully Jasper can give them a scare.
