Deborah Johnson filed a request for an injunction this morning against the Nevada Interscholastic Activities Association's decision to remove Cheyenne's football team from the playoffs.
The suit alleges that the NIAA's decision goes against the organization's own guidelines for due process rights to a hearing in the case.e decision. The league office finally took a stand on the side of sportsmanship only to be thwarted by some whiny parents and a judge. What is HS sports coming to?

To me, it's a parenting issue. The mother is so worried about her little boopsie getting his college scholarship that she doesn't see the person he's becoming. If this had been my brother, my dad would have said, "Son, to avoid suspicion, don't tie your shoes in the watermelon patch." David Peebles should not have tried to give the opponent a hug. He could have said a nice word quietly, and slapped hands or something less open to mis-interpretation. The mother needs to say, "Son, if you get a scholarship, I'll be very proud, but lots of good players don't get scholarships, and you'll just have to live with it." That's life.
