I'm not Coach Cecil or a Coach either. I come from a time if someone hits you in the mouth you hit them back! You stand up for yourself and for your team. I look at like this the LC players actually helped the Breathitt team by retaliating. Letting them know they can't do that and get by with it. Because the crooked Ref's and corrupt Khsaa sure didn't help and for that matter the KSP Barney Fyffe Cops didn't either. Retaliating is not a problem either. This Country used to be Great at one time. So you are telling me if you thought someone was trying to hurt you or going to try to hurt you or your family, you wouldn't fight back? I think the brawl was when the Breathitt kid jerked the helmet off of a LC player and started throwing punches. Was the LC kid just supposed to stand there and take it? No! No! No! I'm done with this thread :thanks:

This type of thing happens every Friday night in the fall and the difference is most players and coaches know when their being provoked and are mature enough to laugh it off. Instead of having that be the attitude you guys celebrate them every time they fight with somebody and its never their fault. Also, part of film from what I saw showed #11 taunting Breathitt when he scored a touchdown. Nobody's family was being threatened and nobody's life was ever in danger. Breathitt simply knew the kids from LC would react when provoked and they exploited that. I very seriously doubt the next time they play breathitt will be scared to do the same thing because they fought back. Most likely they'll do it again to throw them off their game. Actually, I'm sure everybody's aware now of how to get in your alls heads. So I'm sure they'll be provoked again and they'll react the same way because you guys applaud that type of behavior. Especially now that the players know they won't be punished by their coach.
