It is very disappointing that he can’t play…but 1 player doesn’t win by himself….It takes a team to achieve victory….I believe NHS can win without their main QB….

LET’S GO CHIEFS!!!

p.s. Their is NO I in TEAM!!! The chiefs can do just as great w/o Brandon

I wonder who has money on Chipley enough to influence refs? I dont care what he said he crossed the line dropped the ball never made any movements in the other teams direction and ran off with his teammates. What ever he said who cares as long as he didnt get in his face to say it. Have we gotten to the point where we cant offend the other team? Football has never been a polite sport thats why we love it

It’s just high school football Mr. Sheets. Take pride in your other accomplishments.

Definitely didn’t look like a good call unless he said something, then “Let go of my leg” was the only acceptable expression.

Carry on…

I have watched this video and all I have to say is “bad call to the ref’s”..This kid wasn’t taunting..hey ref you are doing at high school game; not college or the NFL..stop trying to make a name for yourself ,cause the one your making right now is IDIOT..

As an official for many sports, it should be up to the officials to not penalize the player wrongly and take away the opportunity for him to play in the state semi-final. From the video, the officials should have moved in closer to the area to clean up anything that could happen, but unless the qb said something (who knows), then the 1st unsportsmanlike flag was unwarranted.

From a common sense perspective, at that point, let’s keep the player in the game and not issue a 2nd flag immediately after and keep the player from playing. The game was decided and Northview were the only ones penalized from the officials actions.

The officials did not issue the ejection on-site, why not? Two unsportsmanlike penalties on the same player are an automatic ejection which should have been handled at the point ot the 2nd unsportsmanlike…not on Monday.

As a High School football official from Michigan, I can say two things. First of all, a player standing over another player and saying anything or dropping the ball IS Taunting. It should have been flagged, which is unsportsmanlike conduct. I was not able to see the player “clapping” towards an official, but if he was, then this should also have been flagged as unsportsmanlike conduct. Any TWO penalties of unsportsmanlike conduct in a game warrants a disqualification and a suspension from the next game. It would be hoped that such an important player and possible captain of a team would lead his team by example. It is hoped that this young man realizes his mistake and will move forward with this life learning example.

I watched the video several times. I saw nothing that appeared offensive. I do not know what this Ref thinks he saw, and I do not understand the FHSSA bias toward the Northview Chiefs. Who are these people, what are their names? I feel that this is all proably a bad misunderstanding, that can be resolved by sane people. These people are proably no different from you and me. A home and family and a day to day life. Just sit down and reason with them. The solution is all in the communication, and how it is delivered. Reason will always prevail.
