Beechwood High School football players suspended for drinking

 

Don't know who the players were, but this might cause some problems for BW moving forward.

[Clyde]

Unfortunate.

 

Hats off to the BW administration and coaching staff.

How many kids do they have on the roster?

You hate to hear this at any point in the season but this has to be extremely tough for them. Like you said Clyde hats off to the administration and staff for handling this quickly.

"This is a teaching moment and we've been forged by fire," said Rash. "We will play 'Beechmont football' this Friday and make our community proud as they've always been."

 

Good job Channel 9!

What can you say? Indiscretions of youth, we've all been there. They'll need to face their punishment like men. I was going to type that they need to go to the game and show their support for their teammates but maybe it would not be a good idea, it could be a media nightmare and subject the guys to comments from the fans.

I think the Ludlow city administrator needs to be taken to task as well. There were over 20 kids drinking on your property, and you don't know it? I'm calling hogwash on that one.

As one of the leading BGP cynics I tend to agree with you.

[Clyde]

The names are going to get out. Should we not post them on here?

They play Bracken County Friday night...I guess ya never know.

Unfortunate.

I couldnt agree more, winning football games is miniscule in the grand scheme of things, hopefully valuable life lessons were learned and the team can grow from it.

Personally I am sure the kids are suffering enough....IMO its a bad idea to start posting names of young men who are 16-18 years old and made decisions they regret.

I believe They will be on the sidelines to support their team mates. They wont dress or play. They will handle any comments from fans, and opponents.as a team.

 

I don't think it will be a media nightmare.

 

Noel Rash is a true man of class and integrity.

 

I think the tigers will be ok Friday night. I wouldn't want to be those boys in practice next week.

According to the news ,there could be as many 20 players suspended. The news also reported that the suspensions will be determined by the head football coach on who gets suspendid and who doesn't. (Don't kill me, I'm just the messenger).

[Zuzu]

Anyone know more about this? Will they be gone for all the playoffs?
