It was. Total lack of respect for the kids and officials. All the talent on their field, had to be one of the worst game experiences I’ve witnessed on the high school level.
I’ve noticed more and more people getting sideline access at some of these games. I guess about 200 people got that access here, LOL. You would think from a safety, coaches/player distraction, officiating standpoint, that needs to be more limited.
Sometimes it’s just so bad and undisciplined with certain teams that you just just shake your head and hope for some quality play or a running clock.
Same thing happened last week at Louisa. That's a safety and liability issue. There's no way they all have clearance to be on the sideline. A lot of the sideline last week was younger kids and a whole lot of adult fans. Fans should be limited to the stands for their safety, and for the safety of the competitors and officials.
While I agree these ppl shouldn’t be on the sidelines it amazes me how it’s glossed over about the unsportsmanlike behavior that seems to be excepted today. We wonder why we have the problems in society today and right here is where it starts in school. Penalties are not even close to what they should be for this behavior.
It’s also an issue for stands that only go so high. You can’t see over their heads
It's up to each school's administration to regulate who has sideline access during games. If a principal or AD allows it, then it's nothing officials can do about it. It's not until the State-semifinals and finals that people are required to have VHSL passes for access.
