@ColumbiaHighFan2017class What’s going on over there? I saw something on Facebook about 3 players being suspended due to their entrance of the Fletcher game. Ridiculous 

I was at the game with Columbia Fan and did not notice anything unusual or disrespectful when the team came out. 

Strange indeed, but has no effect since they have wrapped up the district unless this extends into the playoffs.

Do you mean to say that 3 players that had been suspended by their HC were allowed to play against Fletcher? Kind of difficult to determine exactly what you mean. Can clarify?

I am just going off of what I heard. That 3 players have been suspended due to their entrance prior to the start of the Fletcher game. This is apparently all started when a woman from Fletcher sent a letter to the FHSAA that she was “scared” 

I have since found out that the head coach is suspending them for this game.

Ok i originally planned to not speak on this but I'll clear this up

 

Rumors I'll bust right now

 

This suspension was a team issue, not a fhsaa one and was never going to be

 

The coaches made the suspension in house because the players never told the Coach that they were going to

 

The fhsaa was never going to get involved in it

 

 

They had people saying the masks were the reason for the suspension which is false,  the suspensions was for the plastic swords

3 players who had fake swords in their hands when they came out got suspended by their coach, Because of the letter that was written by a lady from fletcher claiming it scared her. The coaches suspended they players b4 the fhsaa got involved that way it wouldn't effect them in the playoffs. 

I heard that rumor but the Fletcher letter had no impact on what happened and in fact many Fletcher coaches and fans i spoke to never saw the swords or the masks so I'm feeling that the story about letter is likely just a rumor that is lacking proof

Ok well that good to know but I dnt understand why the coach suspended them for that? It looked    Amazing to me!! The swords were fake, it almost halloween , little kiss use those for their costumes so I don't see the point.

I think it was more the fact that they never told the head coach about it

so you don't know if there was a letter but you know it had no impact.  SMH  I would be willing to bet lots of money someone complaining had every thing to do with the suspension and if there wasn't a complaint nothing would have been done.  I would not have suspended them.  I might have disciplined them but to me this doesn't warrant a suspension.

I knew it had no impact because the news of the letter didn't come out until after they announced the suspensions 

 

They also stated in that rumor that the letter was sent to fhsaa but the people inside Columbia squashed the rumor that Columbia was forced to do damage control to avoid fhsaa sanctions as the fhsaa was never involved at any point of the process so we already have one lie in the letter rumor 

 

The facts are Columbia punishing the players had more to do with them not telling Coach in advance about the masks and plastic swords, they got in trouble for doing it behind the coaches back it is a Columbia internal issue and was never going to have fhsaa involvement

It had every thing to do with the letter.  I lost respect for your coach.  I’m willing to bet someone at the school told him he had to suspend them.  

I've already seen several things through observation that make me question if the letter was even legit

 

The story I'm hearing is that someone was scared by the masks and sent in a multi page letter after the game, yet several Fletcher fans from way across the field didn't even see it

 

I think the entire letter story is bogus 

 

Hell @DarterBlue2 was right next to me in the reserved section at 45 yard line and he didn't even see the sword or the masks but yet somehow Fletcher fans WAY across the field saw it? 

 

Come on bad birdy, can you tell me you don't at least feel a little bit of doubt in the whole letter story?

He didn't have to do anything 

 

The fhsaa were never going to have any grounds to suspend the players bc no rules were broken

 

I've seen other schools do this stuff before,  it's not the first time I've seen plastic swords be used

 

If it was a serious rule violation the refs would have had the players DQ'ed instantly

I'm not talking about the FHSAA.  The school got pressure from a parent complaint and caved in. End of story.

Heck the Fletcher coaches couldn't even see it, talked to one of them on facebook yesterday and they would have had a much better angle on sideline than someone in the road stands would have

 

 

So what's more likely?

 

That one fan from way across the field saw a very small plastic sword that many on Columbia side didn't see unless they were on ground level next to the tunnel or that the Fan saw the twitter footage of the entrance after the game and wrote a letter because their team lost despite never seeing the swords until watching the twitter film of the entrance

I would say a good chance that is what happened and then after complaint coaches decided to suspend players after talking to admin

coolest entrance ever.  Would have been better if it was on Halloween night.  Kids don't deserve to be suspended and adults should be ashamed of themselves.  If they did it without permission maybe run some hills but the coaches had to see them before they went out and could have probably stopped it if they thought it was a big deal

    • I was actually itching to treat some wager some money on some sports matches that are happening above-board now. I wanted to let you guys identify that I did spot what I ruminate on to be the kindest site in the USA. If you fall short of to get in on the spirit, check it out-moded: [url=https://pokeronline.guru/online-gambling/]https://pokeronline.guru/online-gambling/[/url]
    • Perhaps the best RB in Tampa Bay iin 2023 saw his program close, and is looking for a home. If he stays in the area,Venice is a good bet. (Lakeland may be as well).
    • And if that same newsletter asked the Osceola County Sheriff Department, what do you think the response would be? If you asked, members of the Chamber of Commerce? (Essentially a union of businesses) If you asked a group of nurses? If you asked a group of lawyers? Also a union cares about the working conditions of their members, but the working conditions of teachers are the learning conditions of students as well. People are attracted to careers because of the values that come with those careers. Political Parties attract people based on their values. So it shouldn't be surprising that certain professions attract certain people in certain careers. You act as if the principal's first question when we have a 5,000+ teachers shortage in this state is "who do you vote for? And are you a member of the union?"
    • I feel like y'all are always solid so I don't see y'all going no worse than 7-3. Biggest question mark for Cocoa is their O-line since they are only returning 1 and on the defensive side they only return their blue chip edge in their front 7 
    • Coach Wiseman, let me just preface this by saying that you were the best HC Sarasota's program has had in the last 20+ years. You brought them from being a perpetual losing program to the doorstep of competing with Venice for a district title and a deep playoff run. SHS will curse the day they fired you now that they are back in a rut. You are a true class act, and nothing will ever convince me otherwise.  Our backfield is certainly sparse right now. We do have Dorian Jones, a rising sophomore runningback whom did considerably well considering his limited playing time last season. Our offense will need an overhaul with the graduation of 3 offensive linemen and almost our entire receiving corps. Our defensive line will be strong with the return of Ke'shawn Vaughn, Elijah Jones, and Asharri Charles. Our linebacking corps graduates virtually everybody but should have at least one bright spot with the return of Ben Zarkawiecz. Our defensive backfield is still a work in progress with the graduation of Lester and Platt. At the moment, we have more question marks than exclamation points. And that's not a good feeling with the kind of competition Venice is going to face.
