Maybe I should word that differently. Will he be the QB again this season?

Maybe I should word that differently. Will he be the QB again this season?

I beleive the freshman player is taking the majority of snaps so far.

Update on Jake Elbert - damage to his MCL and ACL and will need surgery. Season over. Sending prayers out to Jake. He's a great kid and has such an amazing family who will support and encourage him through this journey.

He never left the team. He sat out his games and is now working on what he can do to help make the team better.

 

I guess is seems there are different standards as to what the word suspension means and what infractions a player commits to become suspended or dismissed from a team. It seems BGH is the first to jump on neighboring schools when he hears of some student athlete committing sometype of infraction and to what his opinions are regarding that student athlete, it seems there may be somewhat of a double standard??

 

I guess what we all need to remember is what the message that is sent to the younger players on the team or even the lower levels such as the feeder programs, when a student athlete breaks a rule and what the punishment should be depending on the serveraity of the infraction. To me it is all on the coaches plate and there should be a backing of the AD. If the coach decides not to discipline the player then at that time I feel the advice of the AD and other school administartors should be involved.

I don't know what the young man did, but it looks like he missed the last two games. I know the BGH is lost this week maybe he is out of town.

Dont forget that students are individuals and should be treated as such. Also, you should consider how parents are cooperating with the schools administration and if there are any pre-existing factors. These are things that the general public has no knowledge of. To say that everyone fits a certain punishment or fills a certain criteria is wrong. I beleive that we trust what is being done is in the best interest of the student. After all, isnt that a christian value?

You are correct, students are individuals that are learning to become young adults. All it takes is ONE wrong choice by that student and the life of the parents, other people/students and the student in question could be changed for life or even cost a life. Without full disclosure of the rule violated it very hard to pass judgement, but the community is a small one and I am sure that not all rumors are true. Missing curfew is one thing and as most would not consider that a major offense, but if this is something much more than that..... well the parents, coach and administartion would be the first to know.

 

It all comes down to this: as long as the parents can sleep at night and feel good about their decision of the discipline/punishment of their child that is where this needs to start, as long as the school administration can feel good about their decision in the discipline/punishment of the student athlete than that is something they must deal with.

 

I am not saying that kids don't make mistakes and need to learn from those mistakes, but it seems that over the past 2-3 years past there were some of the same issues happen with suspensions to players for team violations at BBHS and my only question is this, it only takes making an example of one student/athlete to let the rest of the players in the program that certain things will just not be tolerated. As kids we all felt untouchable at times until somethig major happened to scare us not to take such chances again.

 

Please remember this that NO PARENT wants to ever receive a knock at the door by the local law enforcement agency saying the following: Mr/Mrs ... we regret to inform you that your son/daughter has been in a accident....... we all know how the rest could go.

 

While not knowing all of the information regarding the actions of this young man and his reason for suspension, if not addressed in the correct manner it could lead to worse actions and worse results in the future. Children are a very precious gift that god has given to parents and as parents we guide our children in the best direction possible to be well rounded christian value repected young adults, so we must respect that gift and protect as much as possible and if it means taking something away from them to understand and have them live a full and happy life then are sports really the main priority??

Lloyd by a lot. They should be able to name the score in this one. Good luck to both teams.
