Longview to forfeit win against Evangel...

Longview athletic director Pat Collins confirmed the Longview football program will forfeit their 52-22 victory against Shreveport Evangel.

Apparently, after checking his roster following the Evangel game, head coach John King discovered a player, who was on the roster who no longer had eligibility, played in the fourth quarter, one play.

Collins said Longview self-reported the violation, and it will go before the district committee.

If the forfeit stands, Longview's record will drop to 3-2.

Longview athletic director Pat Collins, appearing on David Smoak's Sports Talk on KTBB Radio said, "this was an honest mistake, but we want to do what's right, and I met with the Marshall superintendent, who is our district chair, and told them of our violation."

No, the coach did not do the right thing. He should have well know before the game that he had an inelgible man. That's part of his job. There was a breakdowm in the school system. The coach let the whole team down.

That's where you're wrong.  The coach made a mistake in letting the kid play, but he did the right thing afterwards.  This is a great lesson to all those young men...if you mess up, you gotta fess up.

    • naw, maaaaybe 7, definitely not 8 deep.  today im avoiding sitting by #10s parents, had to move away yesterday.   "put my son back in jub, put my son back in"  and then crying on every little touch of someone.    lets ball out today ktz!    
    • Very close game until the 2nd half (mostly the 4th) when Orangefield came unraveled. Worse defensive effort I have seen out of the Bobcats in three years. This team has to get back on D and quit getting beat over the top when pressing. Offensively, non ball handlers continually turn it over and their shot selection is poor. Basic basketball, such as: defensive hustle, boxing out, and taking care of the basketball are the areas the Bobcats need to work on most. Whitmire will get them on point, but he shouldn't have to coach effort at the Varsity Level.  We'll be at McNeese this Friday night at 6pm.
    • I don’t benefit from it, that’s not my area.  But the average cost to imprison someone is around $15k per year (on average in the US) and capital cases cost somewhere between $1.5-$3M with over half being overturned or reduced to life in prison anyway.  These numbers may be inflated since the last report I read but I’m sure it would be on both sides and higher on the DP side if anything. So what’s the point?  We feel better because we got to return the favor on someone (hopefully) who committed a heinous crime?  And I don’t know I can say we have “complicated” it. Which appeal should we cut out?  Our justice system has a pecking order and we have higher courts for a reason. When we are about to impose the ultimate judgment, should we cut steps that other cases have to save a buck?  Or do we not pay for an indigent person’s experts at the trial court level because it’s too expensive? Or do we just lock them up and throw away the key (unless we later find out they weren’t actually guilty, in which case we have a key and a life we haven’t unjustly ended) and save a ton of money?  Seems to me to be an obvious solution but I’m more of a pragmatist.
    • 1 thing for certain. Coach Earned 3 more years to figure it out lol
