What is the context here?

Correct.  Stepdad of a Wayne Co. Player knocking out a SCS player's mom, but like I said previously there has been a lot of beef back and forth specifically on Social Media Barstool accounts attacking personal lives.  Without getting into too many specifics, that's the root cause of the incident.  But, absolutely can't believe it escalated that much and violence is never the answer.  

The Barstool accounts played a part, but this actually goes back as far as elementary travel baseball. Also, the players are related so there is some family stuff. Sadly, it looks like everyone was keeping an eye on the moms and the stepdad slipped past everyone. Sickening and I would guess that some of the men there are kicking themselves for letting him slip by.

The other thing is that Wayne decided to replace the clock keeper for the district tournament and he decided to air it all out on social media yesterday, the day before the championship game. He claimed the main reason is that he went to a couple Southwestern games with Woods so the current administration is retaliating against him. The other reason is that a player's mom and the coaching staff got upset that he wore the opposing team's colors while keeping clock at the McCreary game this year. Obviously there were several comments and shares and typical FB drama.

How can the adults expect the players to play competitively with all of this going on? It's not fair to the kids (the number one reason high school sports exist) or the fans that just want to watch some good basketball on a Friday night.

That was unbelievable.  I’m sure there’s a back story to this.

There is a back story. There’s no justification for what the guy did, but that lady has been banned from every gymnasium in Pulaski County, and now probably won’t be allowed in Wayne’s either. She was trash talking with some teenage girls from Wayne. She’s no saint either. Very poor judgement and behavior on both sides.
