Great article by Mike Dougherty of LoHud on some recent extracurriculars in games resulting in some pretty significant injuries.
I went back and looked at both hits and they were bad. What was telling though is the vitriol coming from the stands. It is out of control. The adults need to be adults here.
I too have seen the extracurricular HS activities and heard the parents and coaches complain way to much.
What Sect 1 (and everywhere else) needs is more former players, moving over to the officiating side. I've played HS, college, coached youth and now have joined the HVLOA. Haven't had any HS games due to work conflicts, but have done many Youth games. Love being on the field during the moment.
Also, I know of some new officials that have NO playing experience whatsoever and it's scary. They are trying to do a good job, so please step up and next February contact the HVLOA and become part of the solution.
CHHS forever.
