High School Football

[pmull]

Jasper used to be a troublesome town. Looks like maybe it still is. This will not bode well for those involved. Assault charges, battery charges.....somebody could be doing jail time.

Maybe pmull will show up with some good news. Maybe Austin beat Spain Park and they all shook hands after the game.

I haven't seen or read about who started the fight but I have a good feeling about it though. You are right about the charges and some of those involved probably won't see another game this year either.

Here is what I heard happened. It was a close game. Walker was leading 10-6. walker had the ball on their own 30 with three minutes to go. The Walker provided chain crew incorrectly had 3rd down on the marker. Walker went for it on 4th and 12 thinking it was 3rd down. Cullman got the ball and scored with 0:18 on the clock to win the game.

The Walker Coach told his team to go to the locker room without shaking hands at mid field with the Cullman players. This is unheard of in high school. The Cullman DC approached the Walker HC and something along the line of "Coach you don't have to shake our hand but the players need to" and the Walker Coach starting throwing punches.

I heard this from an Austin coach who heard it third or fourth hand. As you can imagine it is the talk of all high school coaches in the state. The Walker Coach should be fired.

Wow! That is unreal! The Walker coach should not just get fired, he should serve some time. That is thug behavior from a HS coach that is looked up to as a roll model. I can understand his frustration at the unfairness of the down marker situation, but they should have known what down it was, themselves. At any rate, that certainly doesn't warrant that type of behavior.

Keep in mind that the chain crew and down marker in HS is volunteers provided by the home team which was Walker.

Right. And should be treated like the honest mistake that it was. As X stated, these are HS kids playing a game. Not exactly the way to be setting an example.

Pmull, did the Austin coach know anything about what is going to happen to the Walker coach?

I'm really happy about the fact this incident isn't all over

This was in the news. He has been suspended by Walker County School System with pay until a full review of what happened. The Cullman school Superintendent said that the Cullman DC did nothing wrong and no action would be taken.  Both coaches have a meeting in Montgomery tomorrow morning with the head of the AHSAA. The AHSAA requested that both schools turn over all film for their review prior to the meeting. The Walker coach is done. If it happened anywhere but Jasper he would be in jail.

dumb question ?  from the pictures it appeared to be a Police presence on
the scene , is he "special" or something ?

Police are present at all high school football and basketball games that I attend. I assume just in case something happens. They normally just shake hands, watch the game and cut up with the students.

I just wondered if that in Jasper they had a ..
"you can't arrest a Coach" law or something

Jasper has always been, oh let's call it, a "clickish" town. At least it used to be 20-25 years ago. Some used to call certain segments of Jasper the "Southern Mafia".

It still is to some point, at least it was when I was there 8 years ago. Still, this kind of behavior from the football program is a little surprising. Maybe this would happen in Parrish, but Walker High usually is above all this. There has been bad blood between these two teams in the past, though. And while I do not excuse what Walker's coach did, my sources there in the county tell me that Cullman's staff wasn't exactly saint-like, either.

I may make a special effort to go to next year's game.
