Tavita Ika 08/19/2016 Provo Russel Carter Billy Evans was the calling official for both Unsportsmanlike Behavior penalties. First penalty was 2:09 of the 3rd quarter. #9 from Provo received a pass close to the goal line and stretched for the pylon. His feet were out of prior to the ball getting to the goal line. The covering official was deliberately slow making a call so that he could get a good look at the feet and the ball. He ruled the player out of bounds which caused #9 to yell at the Billy to "Make a Call", "Do your Job" and then "Why don't you make a Call". Billy then threw the flag for Unsportsmanlike behavior. Second penalty came with 5:29 in the 4th quarter. #9 from Provo had made a run and was hit in bounds and driven out of bounds. When he jumped up he started talking to the player who hit him. As the covering official started to move towards the out of bounds spot, #9 proceeded to flip the ball at the defender. This received the flag for his second Unsportsmanlike penalty.

His leg whips were not connecting with anyone and but still not legal. I was talking to both and said that the leg whips would show up on tape. Hayden said that the leg whips would show up on film and he should not be throwing them. The conversation was Me "Your Leg whips will show up on tape and and they could hurt someone. Hayden said " So will your Fucking officiating!. At that time I Flagged #77 for Unsportsmanlike Conduct and turned to report the foul. After reporting the foul I turned back to the team at that point #77 said " You're not going to call that Fucking foul on me. That's Fucking bullshit" . He then charged me with his teammates restraining him. I gave him a second UC Foul and told his coach that he had ejected himself from the game. If you have any further questions let me know Randell Silcox.

Gerald 2016-08-26 Delta Gerald Everett I know I am slow in getting this too you, but here it is - no one was ejected. but the jerseys that Delta wears, the sleeves do not cover the shoulder pads. I have noticed that this particular sleeve, I think they refer to it as a Cap Sleeve sometimes covers the shoulder pads and sometimes not. No one was ejected and no one was prevented from playing, but by the rules a number of players had a difficult time keeping their pads covered. It might be a great reminder to the High Schools that when they purchase jerseys in the future that they not purchase this style of cap sleeve. Thanks for listening.
#15 - Defensive Lineman for West 2016-09-09 West Mike Mineer (For Clarence Jones) At 8:56 in the third quarter number 15 for West High clearly threw a punch at the offensive lineman for Syracuse.

Scott came over and indicated that he had seen a punch thrown and wanted to confirm if I had seen the same thing. We conferred and agreed that we had both observed number 64 throw at least one punch. After conferring with the rest of the crew, we determined that an ejection was warranted.

John 2016-10-06 Bonneville BRENT WINTCH A sideline warning was thrown by me at Referee as both assistant and head coach were on the field yelling at me. I went over and talked to the head coach and explained that we did not see the call he was complaining about. I think it is worth noting that when I walked over to discuss the warning, the assistant coach spit in front of me.. he didn't spit on me, but it's one of those, at least in my opinion, a sign of disrespect. I reacted to the spitting as if he was going to hit me and he stated he was just spitting, wasn't trying to spit on me... after the game, he later apologized for it and again stated he meant no disrespect. To continue, David Rivers was the Lineman at that time and just after I spoke to the coach, he threw the 1st Unsportsmanlike conduct penalty for the assistance coach's continued jabs. Shortly after administering the 1st penalty, David threw the 2nd UC penalty as coach would still not stop. I advised the head coach that the assistant must leave the field. It took him several minutes to leave the field, but eventually, He then went over behind the fence near the bleachers and watched the rest of the 1st half. We wanted to continue the game and did. At half-time, we asked the head coach to make sure that the assistant would need to leave the stadium which he did. We continued the game without incident from the Bonneville sideline. Thank you

#29 2016-09-29 Ridgeline Todd Noker The player received two unsportsmanlike penalties. This happened in the 4th quarter with :32 remaining on the clock. After the play was over we were separating players and number 29 from Ridgeline continued to taunt the opposing player by saying loudly, "Yeah, so what are you going to do about it?" The line judge (Steve Layton) and I flagged him. After that, the player continued by saying to me, "What? He's going to call me a fucking pussy and get away with it?" He said this extremely loud--everyone heard it--so I had to throw a second flag for unsportsmanlike conduct. At that point he had disqualified himself from the game. If you need further details, please call me. Thank you!

Nick Beasley 2016-10-14 South Summit Dean Sommerville #98 on the South Summit team, Nick Beasley, received two unsportsmanlike fouls and was ejected. The first was given after he scored a touchdown and "dunked" the football over the goal post. The second was a result of disrespectfully addressing an official. After a close call was ruled incomplete, Nick Beasley told Bob Zanetti it was a terrible call and that we were the worst officials ever. Following is an explanation from Bob" In the fourth quarter while walking towards the sideline by himself number #98 from SS yelled “that was the worst call I have ever seen”. Someone from behind yelled "you suck". I made direct eye contact with him (98) as he approached the sideline and he yelled “you guys are terrible, the worst ever”. This is when he received the foul. After the penalty was marked off the umpire came over and said that was his second US conduct and noted the disqualification to the head coach. The coach said “he (98) was talking to him and not me”. Note: At the conclusion of the game #98 apologized to me.
did not get it (i apologize) 2016-10-18 Bingham Kelvin Green #70 for Bingham was ejected on the last play of the first half for fighting. He clearly took a swing at the Brighton player. The Brighton player was backing up away from #70 after the swing and did not engage in the fighting. I discussed this with the Bingham Coach at half time and Bingham claimed that Brighton players were pulling #70's hair. #70 does have long black hair that was extending out of the back of his helmet at least 24 inches. During the play (pass play by Brighton, Bingham on Defense) I was focused on QB until the release. That's when I turned and saw the swing but did not see anything prior to that may have led up to the swing. We had no complaints about hair pulling or anything like that up until that point. I apologize. I did not get the player's name from Bingham Coach
Don't have this information 10/18/16 Jordan Larry Killips 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.
S. Tuitahi 2016-10-19 Jordan Tyler Weight With 3:20 left in the 3rd Quarter, Cottonwood had just scored an extra point when #2 from Jordan and #58 from Cottonwood started getting in each other's faces. As they did so, I start running in to break it up when #2 from Jordan threw 3-4 punches right into the stomach of #58 from Cottonwood. I immediately flagged it, and broke the players apart. #58 from Cottonwood did not retaliate. I brought the crew together to report what I had because of the punches. Bob Zanetti, our Line judge, saw the end of the sequence and did see a punch thrown. After talking as a crew, we decided to eject #2 from Jordan.
Unknown 2016-10-19 Hunter Scott Maxfield At the 7:33 mark of the 4th quarter, Syracuse intercepted a Hunter pass and after the defensive player from Syracuse was tackled, his teammate #52 of was called for a defenseless player hit. A fight then broke out between field players from both teams with player #2 of Hunter being ejected for fighting. There were other players obviously involved but they all quickly reacted to coaches and game officials intervening. #2 from Hunter refused to back down and continued to engage players from Syracuse. The penalties enforced were a 15 yard dead ball personal foul against # 52 from Syracuse and a 15 yd personal foul for fighting on #2 from Hunter. The foul also warranted the ejection of #2 from Hunter. Both coaches were personally informed by myself and each respective wing official as to the results of the play.
Lance Kenross 2016-10-20 Desert Hills Paul Husselbee With 23 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter and Desert Hills leading 28-7, there was an altercation after an incomplete pass. The covering official, linesman Tim Welsh, reported that during the altercation, Desert Hills' no. 14, Lance Kenross, threw a punch at a Snow Canyon player. Tim flagged a dead-ball personal foul and said the nature of the punch was such that it merited immediate ejection. I did not see the incident; however, I trusted Tim's judgment and ejected Kenross from the game.
? 10-19-2016 Logan darrell jefferson Back-to-back Unsportsmanlike Conduct fouls. Logan #5 became very angry at HL (Scott Kibler) after Mr. Kibler issued stern verbal warning on player's tackle, and suddenly proceeded to yell profanities ("F-you") repeatedly (about 10 times).

I threw my flag when I saw it happening, went and reported it to the Referee (Mark Durfey) told him what happened and we both decided to eject him. Also Mark Bowers witnessed the incident. The offensive player wasn't doing anything to provoke #87 to warrant being punched in the face mask.

After the whistle both players take a step back and then 51 takes a swing from his hip with closed fist to the AF players head and contacts. The East coach witnessed this and as my flag was flying did yell to his player to get over to the sideline. I then heard the coach tell the player that was dumb and now he gets to sit next game as well. The game proceeded without further incident. (I am spelling 51 based on my best guess on the coach telling us the name.)
Coach Hammer 2017-09-08 Weber Gary Midgley As the teams were leaving the field at the end of the half, Coach Hammer was aggressively moving towards the Northridge team and accusing the coaches of talking to his players. I tried to intervene but Coach Duckworth of Northridge charged into Coach Hammer. Both coaches began to push and shove each other. Soon both teams and coaches had come together and were pushing and shoving each other. With the help of some of the coaches and police officers the two groups were separated. I informed Coach Hammer that I was ejecting him and Coach Duckworth from the game due to their actions and the subsequent actions of both teams. I'm sure without the aggressive actions of Coach Hammer and Coach Duckworth the teams would have left the field without any issues.
Coach Duckworth ( believe that is name that the Northridge AD gave me) 2017-09-08 Northridge Gary Midgley At the conclusion of the 1st half as both teams were leaving the field, Coach Duckworth started to push and shove Coach Hammer from Weber. As the two coaches continued to shove, both teams came together and started to also push and shove. The incident was soon calmed down with the help of other coaches and police officers. I informed Coach Duckworth of his ejection as he was entering the field with his team to start the 2nd half. He left the field without any further issues.
Coach Duckworth 2017-09-08 Northridge Bryan Stender Jeff, This is what I saw happen at the end of the first half. I saw Coach Hammer from Weber High yelling at someone from the Northridge coaching staff, I'm not sure who he was yelling at, then out of the corner of my eye I saw an Asst. Coach from Northridge running at Coach Hammer, they started pushing each other and bumping chests. I then got in the middle of the two teams which at this point were getting in each others faces, coaches and players, just trying to separate them from each other. Once the crew got things under control, we talked about what needed to be done, we decided to eject Coach Hammer from Weber and Asst. Coach Duckworth from Northridge. The crew felt that those two were the main cause of the maelae. If you need anything else please contact me Thanks Bryan Stender

#56 10/17/2017 Murray Drake Marques During the Hillcrest v.Murray game on Tuesday 10/17/17 ,I ejected #56 on Murray after receiving his 2nd UNS penalty. He received his first unsportsmanlike penalty in the first quarter. I believe that was thrown by either Larry killips or Sean Newell. In the second quarter after being involved in a tackle he turned and taunted the opposing team drawing his second unsportsmanlike penalty. He also during a play in the second quarter Turned and pointed at the opposing team while he walked from the sidelines all the way back to his huddle which I did not penalize, instead giving him a verbal warning.
n/a 10-17-17 Murray Larry Killips 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.

I again told him to walk awa and he shoved me a second time. He did walk away after the second shove. The officiating crew discussed the situation and decided to eject the player for intentionally contacting an official. Just before the snap on this play, #4 was exchanging words with the Lone Peak Receiver and I asked them both to stop talking to the other player. #4 starting saying things to me, but I could not hear what he was saying. The touchdown play then occurred, followed by the ejection.
