Viewmont |
Had around 10 seconds left in the game, Box Elder player went into score on a short shot and was blocked and fouled by a Viewpoint player. #30 (I believe that was his number - Barry had his number) from Box Elder came in some 3-4 seconds after the play was whistled and shoved the Viewmont player in the back with both hands who had blocked the shot and fouled the Box Elder shooter. It happened right in the middle of the key. He shoved him several feet forward. Barry and I quickly both jumped in to separate the players -- I from the baseline and he from the trail position. I was standing next to the player from Box Elder who shoved the Viewmont player, when another player from Viewpoint, Number 4, came running in from about 20 feet away and yelled out to the Box Elder player and I, "I am going to Fu_____ G__ Dam kill you." He yelled it right in front of my face. He was ready to start fighting and was fortunately stopped before he was able to land any punches and throw anyone around. We ejected both the player from Box Elder (#30) and the Viewmont player (#4). I threw out the Viewmonth player and Barry threw ou the Box Elder player. The coaching staff at Viewmont were furious with us for ejecting their player because it could "impact the varsity game." That is disappointing. |
