1) The Lakeland wing back had a hold of the Milford OLB all night, but holding is rarely called, so that goes both ways.
2) Again, look at the yardage totals not only for the game, but especially the first half.
3) By the way, if the kid isn't a jack ass, then how come his head coach apologized after the game? Maltese has great character, and a few people at Lakeland do but even they cannot overcome a school half devoid of it.
1) Holding or the lack of game related issues wasn't a problem. I believe the reference above was to Milford's OT who turned in to a poor sport the
minute the game started to slip away. He was clearly engaging in cheap shots and extra curricular activities, much as he did in Milford's first game
versus WLC. The difference is he was flagged for it in week one. Friday, his actions were just as cheap but "all of this happened right in front of the
side judge and the referee, but the gutless wonders did nothing."
2) Look at the yardage totals not only for the game, but especially the SECOND half. It was definitely a tale of two halves played by two very good teams. (Lakeland intentionally lost 40 yards to end the game, does this alter anyone's perception of the game itself?) As for the helmet toss, it was in the heat of the moment as the kid was walking back to his bench. He had just been cheated out of 2 points by the same "gutless wonder" that was afraid to make the correct call. He clearly scored and the game should have been tied. Does that make it excusable? NO way. I did notice that Coach Maltese immediately got in the kid's business and I bet you'll never see anything like that ever happen again.
3) BOTH Coach Maltese and Coach Fox have great character, are good coaches and run good programs. Leave it at that. People at Milford tend to forget that kids make mistakes, some bigger then others. (An Ex-Milford QB's run in with the law and off the field problems didn't seem to earn him a suspension or any disciplinary actions now did it?) Compare that to an angry helmet toss in the heat of the moment in the fourth quarter of a tight game and all I can say is... People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.
