penalty enforcement

[Melvin]

H.S. game in the Semi-final of class AA. Two veteran white hats on the crew. One was the linesman whom I've worked with in baseball. It was without a doubt a punch. Official even told the coach that it was a punch. In KY there is 0 tolerance for those actions. I am instructed by the KHSAA to have the P.A. read a sportsmanship card over the speakers as I am reading it to the captains and coaches prior to the coin toss. Which by the way, are there any other states that read a sportsmanship card/info to the capts before the game. It is like a warning right up front about taunting, fighting, cursing, etc. Says no warnings are to be issued. Actions will cause immediate ejection.
