I'd seen this before. It's a really sad story of how one officiating crew treated him, even though I understand they were covering their butts and he didn't have the correct paperwork. I wish all kids have the heart and drive to play like this kid does. If all kids had that drive, every team would be competing state championships every season.

yeah, i had seen that they made him sit out of the game because the rules said you had to wear cleats and knee pads or something.

Better not....because it is copyrighted material. Sorry guys.
It just says how at half time a ref came to the coach and said the player (backup nose guard and starter on punt team) coundn't play anymore because he didn't have on shoes. The player even went as far as to tie shoes to his belt but his AD said not to go out there. In the end, the High School Athletic Association said the refs were wrong, wrote a paper the coach carries every game to prove what they said, and the kid is now allowed to play in the games.
