Someones parents will claim -"It's just kids being kids."    Fact
[/quote]  It is.  What do you want to do?  Throw the book at them?  Kick them out of school?  For burning some grass?    Punish them, but let's not make this a life changer.

Well, lets see.

They should be punished by the school, but not expelled. Vandalism is not acceptable.

They should be punished  by law enforcement. Trespassing and arson are illegal in most counties.

It's ok to be a kid and make dumb decisions. Just be prepared  to suffer the consequences of your actions.

At high school age they're more than capable of realizing we're in a SEVERE drought, on top of being stupid and burning their own football field.

If it weren't for the drought and recent wildfire I would say just re-sod the area and give them a good in-school punishment, but come on... law enforcement needs to come down on them as well.

Good Lord man, it's freakin grass?  No problem with them having to go out there and maybe replant the grass.........or take their time away and make them guard the "grass" for a week...........but all this other is garbage.  Seriously

Wow. I'm not even gonna reply to all of you asking about the law enforcement. If you seriously think that the law doesn't need to be involved then....wow....i don't even know what to say to that. These kids damaged school property and did it on there own field. That's just pathetic and they sound they need a wake up call. Scare em a lil and then teach em a lesson. Yes i think the law does need to get involved. Maybe the school can press charges and then drop em. I'm not saying send the kids to jail and make em suffer. I'm simply saying scare em so they never do something stupid like that again.

As part of their punishment, the grounds crew, who tirelessly works to keep the field in shape, ought to get a crack at them before anyone else does.  I agree with westend, don't make it a life changer (jail time), but punishment needs to be enforced.  People forget, someone is busting their rear end to keep the facilities in shape, regardless of whether they get paid to do so.

People need to lighten up.

Can I get a list of all the posters on this forum who were perfect from 7th grade to their senior year?

I remember lots of things we did as pranks back in the day.  I climbed on top of TJ's gym.....I got 3 licks from a paddle, while the coach was laughing.....

We drank beer during lunch in the parking lot (open campus at that time)....

I ended up just fine and a respectable citizen.......

***not claiming underage drinking is ok...its NOT......just saying kids will do stupid things......it IS part of growing up

      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.

      Classic Bridge City.  Always someone else's fault, refs/umpires cheated, AD with an agenda, yada, yada, yada.  As far as I can tell it's damn near impossible to get fired at these schools so when someone does get fired, it's usually something.  Drama at Bridge City is a constant.  The guy did a good job coaching basketball and I'm sure he'll continue that somewhere else.  Time to move on.
