Jordan |
At the 9:59 mark, Jordan had the ball. The quarterback miss handled the snap. The quarterback went back to recover the ball. He fell on the ball to kill the play. Number 75 of Cottonwood preceded to jump on the quarterback. I threw my flag for a late hit. Then all hell broke loose. #6 of Jordan came diving in to hit #75 of Cottonwood, he was ejected. #20 of Cottonwood came in after #6 and threw punches. He was ejected. #85 of Jordan, and #44 of cottonwood were ejected for adding "fuel to the fire" during the altercation.
I personally threw out #6 of Jordan & #20 of Cottonwood. I saw what they did! But, I did not see what the other two players did to get ejected. My crew notified me that the other two players needed to be ejected for escalating the altercation and not complying to the instructions of an official.
We as a crew told both teams to go to their respective benches and we talked things out. The coaches from both teams were great. They told their teams to play football and leave all the other crap out.
We finished the game with no further problems. |

Murray |
Number 56 from Murray was told early to tuck in his undershirt by the umpire Shawn Newell, he gave Shawn a little back talk about it. Shawn sent him off to fix the problem. The player laughed at Shawn and all the way to the bench. While on the sideline, one or two plays,he fixes the problem. #56 is talking the whole time that he comes back into the game. He makes a very good block on a Hillcrest player, stands over him and yells out "now that's a pancake block baby"! He receives his first unsportsmanlike at about the 11 minute mark of the first quarter for taunting. Murrays coach didn't say a word!Player #99 from Hillcrest, also received an unsportsmanlike flag for the use of the "F" word back at #56. Now, players from both teams are now talking back and forth to each other. Shawn stands over the ball and gets everyone's attention and tells them "the trash talking stops now and talk only to your respective team"! Things settled down for a bit and the players play. Moving on to the second quarter. #56 at the 10:41 mark, gets his second unsportsmanlike flag for taunting after a hit.
Moving to the second half. Before we started, I called in the captains from both teams & the head coaches. I told them that we had (5) unsportsmanlike fouls and one ejection. I informed them that anyone receiving an unsportsmanlike foul in the second half will and would be ejected! The coaches DID NOT object to what I stated to the players. The game went on with little or no problems until the fourth quarter. At the 9:41 mark, #58 from Murray was blocked during a sweep, he and the player that blocked him went to the ground. #58 got up first, and as the Hillcrest player started to get up, #58 kneed him in the head. Both Shawn & I threw our flags and immediately ejected #58. He knew what he did, and walked straight off the field. Only one coach from Murray asked what he did, and it wasn't the head coach! After that, the rest of the game went smooth.
Jeff, I just want to say in closing, not at anytime did I hear, other than from the Murray players, a Murray coach talk to their kids about just playing and stop talking. They said nothing about the ejections and neither did the Murray fans. |
