Mountain Crest |
Following the 138 LBS match of the finals for the Richards Memorial wrestling tournament Don Christensen and I were next to the head table and the bleachers. During this time, we saw Coach Rusty Lofthouse from Mountain Crest moving towards the bleachers in an aggressive manner. He was yelling and pointing to someone in the bleachers right next to us.
By the time Christensen and I were able to get to Lofthouse he was already into the bleachers and his progress was being stopped by other spectators. Once back onto the gym floor I instructed Lofthouse he was being removed from the event for flagrant misconduct, Rule 7-5-5. Lofthouse’s behavior was aggressive and threating towards the spectator was a poor display of sportsmanship.
Lofthouse gathered his things and left the event. Following his leaving, 3 team points were removed from the Mountain Crest in accordance with the penalty chart. Christensen and I met with the tournament director and the Head Coach of Mountain Crest to explain the ejection and the points removed.
