Over there, I did find a couple of other links, one to a GA High School AAA discussion board. Several articles of note:
- catch lost offer to play for small college, but retained an academic scholarship to the school
- some parents/adults of the town posted regrets, some noting that some of the 'cheerring' was before they realized what happened.
- some implied a history of "hateful" tactics in the area's HS sporting events.
- some implied coach had history prior to coming to school.
- many seem to do well at pointing fingers to others.
From the sound of the posts, I agree with others who note the umps might have acted earlier in the game (or at least tossed them when this happened.) However, I can understand their attempt to not eject, especially in a state championship series. In that case, I have perhaps at times taken too much lip, also.
