Here’s the game film. This poster is 100% correct. The FCA wing player #9 comes in and inadvertently chops the injured player right on the back of the neck. It’s clear as day when you slow this video down.
The FCA coaches are completely at fault here, despite what they’d like to admit. Particularly the way they handled the end. Great Fellowship of Christian Athletes, what an oxymoron in this case.
I just watched and this is awful. The FCA coach was taunting the DCE bench is an old looking white haired guy who should have more maturity than that. Is that the FCA head coach who is also the Calvert Hall coach? and FCA's #3's retaliation hit on the DCE player was a deliberate attempt to injure a defenseless player, and a hit to the head. he didn't even think about playing the ball. If the game had not been called, that should/would have been a 2 or 3 minute full time penalty and an ejection. But the FCA coaches and players were high fiving and congratulating him for head hunting while literally stepping over their own injured player laying on his back waiting for an ambulance!? shame on the coaches on both teams, especially FCA, and the refs, for letting that game get so far out of hand. and shame on the FCA coaches for sending an 8th grader who they knew or should have known was concussed back into the game. and shame on the FCA posters who defend this or smear ("playing detective") the people who are calling it out. let's hope HoCo makes a statement and suspends the team for a period of time.
Agree 100%. The last minute of this game is really incriminating for the FCA coaches. They’ve always seemed like stand up guys, but they’re absolute CLOWNS in this video.
