If Mrs. Weaver thinks Northview children are in danger for their safety, what choice does she have, as the principal of Northview, than to remove them immediately? I would expect nothing less. Mrs. Weaver is the perfect example of the kind of principal all schools should hope to have running the show. We should trust her instincts, she’s been successfully managing Northview for decades. Thankfully, Mrs. Weaver is ultimately in charge. It’s her call.

Northview MUST file an official complaint with whatever governing body is in control of high school sports officiating and athletics.
It is the only way Northview can officially justify the forfeiture to some of the fans.

Would it be productive for those who witnessed the bad calls and omitted calls and bad officiating to write down what they saw and report these referees? Maybe you could get them disciplined or removed and avoid this type of thing in the future.

This is the very reason ball games get completely disorganized. The officials allow it to happen by making bad call, one sided calls. or just no call at all. They should be in control of both teams even if it means disqualifying players and or coaches, spectators too. These officials did a very poor job and should be fired. Some of the things they CHOOSE to let go is criminal, and if someone was hurt, liable also.

I have coached ball for many years and have been the wrong side of poor officaiting. I feel the kids should have continued to play. In life things won’t always go your way, you are teaching the kids to quite and not fight for anything. I fill that administration has way to much say in Ball games. This call should be made by the coach. The coach should have made the decision to stay and play or go home. I know he was thrown out put he should have been the one to make that call not Mrs. Weaver.

It is too bad such things like this happens. Northview having to play out of state and upper class schools is even worse. Those who follow high school football in Florida know that the FHSAA is going to change the play off structure beginning next year by using a point system. Not to get too far into the weeds with details because there are questions still to be answered this could be good for Northview. There has been a proposed 8 game schedule that pits the 1A schools in North Fl. to play against each other. It leaves 3 open weeks to fill in 2 other games if wanted. All or most of the schools need to agree and all will benefit. I hope the coaches and principals will work to make this happen.

The call was right from the administration. Even in college and pro ball players are not allowed to intentionally injure with illegal hits. If so they are ejected from the game. Parents and adults must set a precedent that sportsmanship and doing the right thing is more important than winning or losing. You people that are whining about it being called off would be more than upset if your child would have gotten injured or worse.

If you wasn’t at the game or on the field you can’t be pointing fingers… And by no means was the officiating crew giving favoritism on either team.
