And the worst…
“Ugly incident near the Castle sideline as Gabriel is hit way late out of bounds and then all hell breaks loose. Teams are separated and both squads are getting an earful from their head coaches. Just a STUPID play by the Castle DB Kekai Ukauka.” AND… Castle players eliciting cheers from the home crowd after such an embarrassing incident.
Will Castle atone for all this during next week’s practices?!!! Not doing so will just continue this type of play throughout the season.
TV did not show a wide angle of that late hit incident by Castle’s DB #3. If players on the sideline leave the so called box; onto the field or past the 25 yard line, they are subject to suspension for the next game. Nothing may come out of it unless Mililani files a complaint on that w/the OIA who will then do an investigation. Clearly, the hit was uncalled for as QB Gabriel was way out of bounds and easing up. He could have seriously gotten injured. Castle definitely not a very disciplined team. Good thing Mililani was able to control themselves otherwise it could have been an all out brawl, and on TV even!
Isn’t this what Castle wanted? The previous coach was fired for having too strict team rules and team policies in which the team was disciplined for non-compliance. Well looks like that’s exactly what these players need. This should be easy for the OIA and the coaches to figure out since the game was televised and you can just keep watching the video replays. Yes, every player on the sideline that left the “box” or stepped out onto the field should be suspended the next game along with every Castle player that motioned to get the home fans to cheer should do extra 240s this week and a whole mess of bear-crawls. And if after they sort out this whole incident and the OIA suspends every player that stepped out onto the field/left the box and Castle hands out their own team suspensions for unruly behavior, if Castle cannot field a team for this week’s game, Castle should forfeit it. If that happened, this kind of incident will have much less chance of happening again.
