[BktBallRef]

I too would like to know the outcome. TXMike?

It is not over yet Waiting for the U to decide what he will do although I hope his advisors let him know the longer he waits to file the case the less enthusiasm it will get from local law enforcement authorities.

The play happened on the next to last play of the game. The player involved is on the team that was ranked number 1 in the country until they lost this game. The team roster says the player involved is a senior. This player had been complaining about being held the entire game.

None of this is important, but I am just providing some information after talking with the official involved. There was no flag on the play. The other officials were looking at their keys, and the incident happened almost immediately after the snap, with the flow going the opposite direction. Yesterday was the first time that the official involved had even seen the replay of the incident, as the crew had not yet received a copy of the game film. I believe that they are still in the information gathering mode right now, and the state body that governs high school athletics still is waiting for more documentation.

Your "I wonder why" was probably facetious, since the answer is plain: lawyers.

WOW!

No official deserves this. It was obviously pre-meditated as the play is going right and the player goes left directly toward the referee. He can't say he was fooled that bad. He makes the hit then turns toward the point of attack.

Hope charges are filed and the court gets to sort this out.

And the punishment begins
