Looks like there were some extra curricular activities at a recent Hartfield basketball game.

I haven’t been in many HS gyms lately, but are students normally close to the end line?
I don't know....but that would appear to be a mistake waiting to happen. I know I have been at MRA and they park a coach (or dean of students) in front of the student section at end of court, and they allow them to be students **up to a point**
All I can say is that there are alot of folk on the wrong side of wrong best I can tell.
Hartfield parents should have stayed composed b/c if you have been in private school sports long enough around here, on would know that Oak Forest parents are going to do Oak Forest Louisiana kinda things (**such as throw stuff @ buses, cause referees to need police escorts to get away, etc.....)
Lol. Not Oak Forest, but not too far away. Our football team had to be escorted by the local Sheriff’s Dept from their field to our locker room/bus at Silliman once. We just went in the locker room, got our stuff, and got out of town, all with full pads/helmet still on. The coaches let us take our helmet and pads off once we got off campus.
Ive officiated at Sill8man and Oak Forest many times. I personally have never had issues, but I know several officials who have.
This was a while ago, 2002 IIRC. Maybe they’ve gotten better since then, maybe they haven’t. Pretty funny looking back on it, though.
I don’t know….natural T calms you down. It’s the surge that makes you do dumb stuff. Remember it’s the dads that are fighting.
Obviously uncontrolled T in teenagers (without dads) also isn’t good. But that’s not the case in MS academy ball 90% of the time.
It’s been decades since I’ve been there but I always got weird vibes at Silliman.
My vanity won't let me say how long ago this was(I was in high school on the basketball team), but walking into Oak Forrest for a basketball game I remarked how crappy the gym was and the ticket lady in an angry tirade tried to kick me out before I got into the gym. They had those terrible 60s clay tile floors.
Would it have been early 90's? I only played there once and it was a tile floor. Our locker room amounted to what could be considered a janitors closet. I also remember we were advised to put our wallets and valuables in a zip lock bag so our assistant coach could keep them on the bench.
I went down there last year to watch my son play and was expecting to have to fight my way out. Definitely a different vibe down there (add Silliman to that feeling well).
