If u wasn’t at the game to see what happened then u shouldn’t talk at all ! I was there , I seen what happenned . After the play Neilo was walkin away then the player from panama city hit Neiko first but the refs so-called didn’t see it but they seen it when Neiko hit him back. That’s what’s massed up about it .

The jay player was put back to 2 games but we had the film to prove he did not do everything the refs said he did.So if Northview has the tapes of the game they need to get them out to prove who is right and who is wrong.If not he will serve the 6 games im sure.

What happened in Jay was that player did not actually throw a punch and it was on video. That is why his suspension was reduced.

This rule has been in effect for a couple years now. Remember last season a player from Jay got ejected for the same reason, after the appeal the fhsaa reduced the suspension to a couple of games. It should be reduced if it is appealed. The season is just getting started and one player doesn’t make a team. Let’s all go out and cheer the chiefs on to victory every Friday night.

What he did in ALABAMA doesn’t mean he can do it in FLORIDA. FHSAA don’t play with you! You either follow the rules or deal with the consequences!!!!

The game would have continued 30 years ago with Neiko in it and not be suspended.Whats wrong with the world today?Why has everybody become so soft?A little pushing and shoving in an emotional contest warrants over half of your senior season??!He could have not cared about the play.Neiko is an intense player.Maybe he should have had more control over his anger,but still 6 games is absurd.If he threw two punches ,why…should he had been kicked off the team!?Was he informed of this NEW rule change of an aotomatic 6 game suspension for fighting before the game?Did anybody see this ‘fight’ as its described in the FHSAA rules?Did he beat the guy up?Did he lose control for a moment in the heat of the moment…yea i think so and i dont think this calls for more than half of his senior season suspended.Absolutely ridiculously over board.

The way people are getting about all these rules and things these days, they might as well get rid of the equipment and give them some flags. Pushing and shoving is a part of football, or it used to be back in the day. They knock a kid for throwing a punch at a rural school, its not any thing like y.ou would see at a high school game in Pensacola. You get a whole lot more than a punch at those games, nothing is ever said or heard of.

WHY are there so many defending someone who can’t follow the rules. He is not a victim he is a breaker of rules. He has disrespected his coaches and adults and thought he was above the rules. Now he is going to find out if he can “bully” the FHSAA and get away with breaking another rule. I would think that Flomaton or any respectable school would not allow him to join their team. He needs to suffer the penalty for the punch he threw. And if Penn State will not have him, guess he should have thought before he acted on Friday night.
