I have officiated this kid during the summer and during the season this year. He basically is a good kid and goes to a private school where you cannot be a criminal. I think this incident is unfortunate and should not have ever happened. It did so I hope he will learn from it. But none of us really know what took place or what was said. As I stated before, one of the officials I know was on the game and he did not hear anything that set Nate off in the end. I just think fans should behave better than that. And schools should take responsibility for fans that get out of hand. A kid should not have to feel "disrespected" playing a HS sport.

Well if the official at the game heard nothing and I'm sure they were very aware of everything going on, then the kid was probably "NOT" disrepected as he said.
He simply messed up and that is his "excuse" for his behavior and everyone is supposed to say "poor boy, look at what the grown up did to him".
I've seen too many players "fake" being hit, or being hurt to cover a stupid play they made and to keep the coach off of their back to wonder if this really happened like the boy said?
Just my take,
Thanks
