No need to get all defensive. I was just using your post to point out a likely little known and interesting law. I understood where you were coming from. 👍

In a topic that may or may not be interesting to some people… and wanting to do it to a ref.... Texas has an interesting and probably a little known law on that. Texas has 2 class C misdemeanor assault charges. A class C is basically equal to a traffic citation. It carries a maximum of $500 fine (as little as $1) and no jail time. They are assault by contact or threat (but not a threat of death or serious injury). By contact is touching someone like poking your finger in their chest or shoving someone but not causing any injury. By threat is by saying something like, I am about to come over there and whip your butt. IF.... any of those class C assaults are committed against a “sports participant”, it is a B misdemeanor carrying up to 6 months in jail and/or up to a $2,000 fine. A sports participant is a coach, player, referee, etc. So..... putting your finger on a ref or yelling to an umpire, make another call like that and I am about to whip your..... Can carry a rather stiff penalty.

I thought I remembered someone picking Nederland but quite a few sneaking into the 4th spot or out.

The forfeiture of the playoffs was not from the district committee, it was not from the referees and it was not from the UIL. The forfeit was from their own administration. It was not a punishment from any outside authority but probably from an embarrassed and rightfully disgust school board who swiftly took action. The arrest for assault by the police has nothing to do with the game. It is a police and district attorney matter just as any other criminal charge. If the DA doesn’t want to prosecute and simply refuses charges or reduce it to a $10 fine only in a plea deal, that is within the DA’’s prerogative.

You know, undisputed championship, undefeated district, a chance to play the 4th place team in bi-district..... meaningless!

According to the PA News, the league’s leading defense managed to hold Nederland to 438 yards....

... and the school district pulled the team from the playoffs.
