What in the world was these two teams trying to prove to each other fighting during the game? This comes to show that all football players need to control their tempers and play the game the it should be played. I see why the Kentucky High School Athletic Association had to step in. Commissioner Brigid DeVries did a good job announcing the penalization of the football players from Calloway and Fulton County High Schools. It don't matter who you are or what school you play football for, when you engage in unsportsmanlike behavior like fighting, you lose privelages of playing football for a while. Commissioner DeVries is letting the all Kentucky High Schools know that this unsportsman like behavior won't be tolerated at all. Even in basketball, it should not be tolerated at all. I guess the players from both teams just let their tempers get in the way. Maybe this harsh penalty will straighten the football players out and let know what time it is.
