HUFFMAN HARGRAVE 6 NEEDVILLE 4/LADY FALCONS WIN STATE!!!

I caught the last couple of innings today on fox southwest.  The announcers completely missed the first mugging, but thought she probably should've been ejected for the 2nd one.  Hard to believe that the umpire, who was in a position to see both, didn't do anything.  The girl is ruined, though.  The video is all over Facebook, other social media, and deadspin had an article with the video today.

Yea, it's gone national so she can't hide from it now.  I'm sure she wasn't happy watching her team's early 4-0 lead evaporate in one inning.  But in a televised State final game, she picked a bad time to show off her sportsmanship skills.  She is probably just a 17 year old kid that messed up, so I don't want to rip her. There may be an explanation, but I haven't heard any response yet from her or Needville coaches.  Best to eat crow when it's warm.  We'll see if she can keep her scholarship now.

No doubt.  Hate it for her but it is what it is. Let her emotions get the best of her as we all have done at one time in our lives.  Would love to hear what the Needville AD (if there is one) or softball coaches have to say on the subject. Entertainment purposes.

    • Will probably be released by the Democrats come September.  Sound familiar?
    • Sure.  You reassign an employee and they leave voluntarily instead of being fired and being open to litigation.  The outcome is the same, but you are making my point.  The superintendent and AD and principal are all empowered to make personnel decisions.  Instead of accepting the decision made, you talk about lawyering up, no one else was reprimanded, railroad job.  I am old enough to remember when high school sports taught life lessons...accountability being chief among them.
    • I know absolutely nothing about the situation, but I do know head coaches of sports other than the AD have actual teaching assignments, and I know from my wife having worked in the sped department of multiple schools that it’s not uncommon at all for coaches to shirk those duties.  It could very well be that this was the case at BC.  Or not, I don’t know.  Just bringing this up to point out the fact that, although many coaches only want to worry about coaching, they generally have several other responsibilities at the school.  some of them neglect or ignore these duties entirely.  If he’s been written up for other issues before, it’s a dumb argument to say “he was punished for this and others were not”.  If he had a pile of write ups in his file and they did not then it makes sense that the punishments were different.  
    • He wasn’t fired, he was reassigned and people get reassigned all the time. If he was actually fired, then you would have a point, but he wasn’t fired. Based on the information presented here no way this would stand if they fired him and he lawyered up. 
    • I heard the assistant was going to get this job and assume it was referring to the old Vidor coach, Nate Smith.  I always thought he did more with less at Vidor and can't help but think he shares some responsibility in Vidor's recent success.
