A referee grabbed a high school football player after his touchdown celebration, and his coach was caught on video yelling ‘he needs to grow up’
Touchdown celebrations draw flags in high school football every week, and the penalty is usually where it ends. A Missouri referee has now been suspended indefinitely after sideline video captured him grabbing a Glendale High School player moments after a score, according to NBC . The same clip picked up the player’s head coach shouting about the contact. The incident happened Thursday night in Springfield during Glendale’s 35-6 win over rival Kickapoo. After a long touchdown run by senior Joelle Rover, video shot by photographer ShotzByLogan shows the referee grabbing the receiver once he had finished celebrating with a teammate. The two then appear to exchange words in the end zone before going their separate ways. The footage also captured the reaction from the Glendale sideline, where the head coach could be heard objecting to another official. “He doesn’t need to be touching my player. You talk to me, that’s ridiculous. He needs to grow up,” Frank Tristan said. The referee has not been publicly identified by the Missouri State High School Activities Association, known as MSHSAA, which handed down the suspension. MSHSAA needed only one sentence to announce the suspension In its statement, MSHSAA said, “We were made aware

Value public schools? Vote for Betsy Fogle for state Senate | Opinion
Attending Hickory Hills Elementary as a kid I saw firsthand what public school teachers do for their students. They made me feel seen and loved, making learning fun and staying a few extra minutes to make sure I understood something before I left for the day. That willingness to go the extra mile for every child is what made me want to become a teacher. In the eight years since I started teaching, that’s who I’ve tried to be for my students. But being a public school teacher has also made me realize there are other people with major impact on my students’ lives, even if they never step foot into a classroom.
