What is the true sense of the word?

There's a possibility of sanctions now thanks to the "student" showing only one side of the story.

Local athlete's alleged misconduct sparks outrage | KIMA CBS 29 - News, Weather and Sports - Yakima, WA | - Yakima, Washington 29 | Local & Regional

Unfortunately, as I've already said, only things seen via the video are the actions of one player on one team, what about the actions of the other team?

For every action, there is an opposite, but equal reaction.

If they issue sanctions without seeing the entire game film, your state has other issues.

In order for the state to see the whole game, they would have to ask for the game film from either school.

Is that all that difficult? No, and they're not going to issue sanctions without the whole thing. My guess is they could get it from the kid who edited the video.

The only issue however is that was the student the team videographer?

With seeing how the videos that they posted were edited, I would say not.

I used to be team videographer when I was the Boys' Basketball Manager, as soon as the game was done one of the assistants came and got the tape/camera and took it with them to the locker room.

The only other way I could think of it happening is if they had an additional memory unit available that recorded at the same time as the primary media, however all video cameras will only record to one source.

Again, getting the video wouldn't be that hard. I'm guessing either school would send it, particularly your non-rival opponent here.

Why does all of this matter? Some teams actually record games and keep them for...the entire season. Yes, both teams could say no, but it is a simple matter of asking for the video and getting a response.

You are obviously biased in favor of the team wearing white. That is OK, but the actions in this edited clip should have been officiated differently. Show us an edited clip of similar plays from the other side and we will say the same thing. My goodness.

Rival: A competitor (person, team, company, etc.) who is well known to another and has similar skills and achievements. Defeating a rival may be a primary or necessary goal of a competitor.

There have not been similar skill sets & achievements between the two schools.

Seriously? Do you really think people look up this definition before saying a school is their rival? Seriously?

You know, there is nothing wrong with taking things literally, but sometimes people say things that have an underlying message. I don't think you got it when asked about the true sense of the word; I didn't take that as a call for a definition of rival. Even if I did, after reading the definition I would not post the definition after realizing rivals are made up of more than this definition. For instance, schools that are close - with kids that grew up together attending each - may be considered rivals. Thinking that one must compare trophy cases before considering schools rivals is just...

My two cents:

Did anyone notice #34 and #42 talking and slapping hands after some of the fouls? Seems this may have been pre planned?

It does not matter that the person taking the video only filmed the "rough plays" being made by the white team. If it was the same on both ends the refs should be sanctioned for letting it go to a football game, or they should have changed uniforms and moved it outside to the grass.

Just basically, in my opinion, very poor officiating. I mean when you get a player that runs 3ft then shoves another player 10ft away and you call a common foul? wth!!!

chs, although I dont like talking about other posters on the boards, as I know very little myself, I feel as your comments may be a little one sided against the AD and defending the white team. It really does not matter if play was rough on the other end of the floor, it does not make what the white team is doing ok.

Again, just my two cents.
