It isn't against any rules Smoke, and thank you for posting that.

There must've been other stuff happening before this in the game in order for the refs to call it.

Yeah surely. I have heard another team or two say "Franklin is chippy" or was chippy in this game. But good grief, it's the playoffs. I don't like being friends in a game on opposite teams. Lol. But this is definitely over the line a bit, but nothing that's crazy or just typical competitive stuff other than maybe 57 flying in. No helmet, dude was asking to get hurt.

But this is definitely over the line a bit, but nothing that's crazy or just unheard of. Both teams move on as a team, one on in the playoffs, another to try and get better in the off season.

Criminal imo

If I saw an adversary in a grocery store parking lot street and did what #57 did, I'd be in jail facing felony charges.

Should we excuse criminal actions just because they occur on an athletic field?  What if the kid that was victimized had been killed or seriously injured as a result of these actions? It could have happened. I knew a school administrator that suffered a debilitating injury just trying to break up a fight between two kids.

  This was a  malicious, premeditated action on the part of the offender. He had more than enough time to think about what he was doing and return to his sideline.  Something tells me he has not received the best parental advice.

Look man, I agree it was wrong, but had he not been a senior, "banned"...I don't know about that crap. Would your all's kid at Corbin a few years ago be banned for what he did against the Central kid? I was there, recorded the whole thing. Maybe now that he's a man in the working world you would say no, but back then if he's a junior and an important part of your O line...? Just saying, men make crazy mistakes, and kids make even more.
