That's part of it. Best player on the team kicked off & now no longer enrolled in school. Several others being suspended. Coaches leaving in the middle of the season. The player spreadsheet the coaches made didn't sit well either.
I don't know about all of it, but I've got to say I've been real pleased for my freshman. Coach Hayes has been good to his word on everything I've seen.
I don't know if you know E-Willy, and I don't want to offend if you do. I would have benched him after the first scuffle three weeks ago, not to mention the repeated 15 yard penalties he's cost the team in EVERY game this season. He's super talented, and will be hard to replace, but he was an issue that had to be addressed somehow. I'm not the HC, and don't know all the details, so I'll leave it to him.
So a veteran like tuttle is trying to be a leader, and we need leaders. Warrior is a guy that obviously hasnt played to the level we expect, which is probably a result of a poor work ethic (its not genetics or lack of athletic ability).
So when tuttle, who should have our respect, tries to be a leader he gets assaulted with a helmet.
And volnation gushes about how badass warrior is. And how shy must be soft. Bear in mind they know nothing about what actually went down, and neither do i. But if your first instinct is to applaud Warrior, and call shy soft and imply hes less a man somehow...well congratulations, you're probably a wonderful human.
My first instinct was, "Good God, wtf is going on, Butch hasnt had institutional control in a year or two."
Second thought after more info is, "Warrior probably should be kicked off the team."
And yes orbital bone injuries can lead to or involve all sorts of "bada$$" things like blindness and eyeballs hanging outside the head, dangling. Awesome.
There is nothing here to be proud of, especially from Warrior's perspective. This aint a comic book or bruce willis movie you imbeciles.
I don't know Williams personally. And I absolutely agree there needed to be some discipline involved with him. I don't know if kicking him off the team for an argument is the answer though.
Regardless, there are some issues with the program right now. Coach Harris leaving after 3 weeks is a red-flag. Pretty sure he had to take the fall for the player spreadsheet that the coaches accidently released on Huddle. That was/is a nightmare.
But best of luck to your son. MC can be a great place to play football.
I agree.
And it doesn't take a bad... to sucker-punch someone with a helmet and win a "fight".
And it doesn't take being soft to get suckerpunched with a helmet and get orbital damage.
If you have someone committing assault with a football helmet, you have someone that needs to be kicked off the team.
