@ Tutukane… (by the way, the whole controversy about the block kick would not have happened if officials had thrown the flag against Damien for movement prior to the snap of the ball)!

What were you watching, the center snapped the ball before the D-Line moved….That’s was a clean blocked…don’t take that away from the player that made a Great Play only to be denied by TutuRef…

Bartolommeo …I agree with Reading between the lines – you missed the point!

I took in this game while waiting for the St. Louis vs Kamehameha game. I saw the Damien players throw & land punches, Damien offensive players push their opponents from the back down to the ground, as well as the Damien players with their arms around the necks of the opponents in choke holds! The officials never called these infractions against Damien so it continued throughout the game – as long as the players & coaches feel that it’s OK without ramifications, it will continue. To this point – on the 2nd attempted kick – the Damien player did pull back so not to get another infraction (by the way, the whole controversy about the block kick would not have happened if officials had thrown the flag against Damien for movement prior to the snap of the ball)!

My admonishments…to the coaches – you are there up front & see it all & should immediately correct your players; to the officials – be fair & impartial because what I saw that night was neither; we count on you so that the players are kept safe & do not get hurt!

@resding between the lines, for retaliating…. you are full of it. I could say the same for those PAC 5 boys. But I’m not going to sit on here and bash kids to make them look bad. Come on now, if you’ve been watching football this season like I stated before I’ve seen many teams do what you just said, PAC 5 included. So don’t give me that.

@Bartolommeo, I’m not saying Saint Francis does not commit penalties; they get a lot of penalties, but that was not my argument. I am just amazed at how much Damien got away with in their last game against Pac-Five. Although “tensions run high and kids will be kids”, that doesn’t excuse any player from committing a penalty and it doesn’t explain why referees allow it to happen. The specific penalties I am speaking of are not due to playing hard; they were well after the whistle and would have easily been called on any other team. I am proud of the Pac-Five boys for not retaliating; they just walked away without engaging.

@reading between the lines, well that just shows how much you have been watching these teams play because Saint Francis almost every play has a kid being excessive and pushes, back, front, side, from any angle after the whistle. Tensions run high and kids will be kids. Every team has those type of players, I’ve seen it with my own eyes. So don’t try to say a team plays dirty because they play hard, and 1 guy lets his emotions get the best of him.

@Bartolommeo: I may not understand being hit hard enough for bloodshot eyes, but punching the player (the ball was no longer in his possession) AFTER the whistle was blown? Pushing a player in the back AFTER the whistle was blown?

@reading between the lines, that’s not true at all haha. If you know football you know you can get a bruised eye or bloodshot eye from getting hit hard enough. I’ve seen it with my own eyes. Our quarterback one game had a bruised eye a bloodshot eye because he said he got hit so hard his helmet was lose and something happened. So don’t try to make like. And punching? It’s called punching at the ball, evolved players now days do that.

How about all the stuff Damien does and doesn’t get called for? During the Pac-Five game, after one of the plays, #54 punched someone below the belt after tackling him and #22 pushed another player in the back hard enough for him to stumble forward. I saw it on the jumbotron clear as day and so did everyone else by the crowd reaction when they showed the replay. But not one penalty. I heard they were supposed to get suspended for 2 games, but apparently, they still played this past weekend.

I know there are a lot of questionable and uncalled penalties, but Damien seems to get away with a lot. My friend’s kid always has scratch marks on his face after playing them. He even had a blood shot eye and scratches on his gums. The only way that could happen if there were fingers going into his facemask. How does that happen without a single face mask penalty?

What questionable calls is Coach Akana referring to? The illegal blocks in the back that there is photographs of? The unsportsmanlike conduct that everyone in the stands witnessed? The Saints have a history of multiple personal fouls in every game. Like I have been saying for awhile now, the Saints have the ability to be a great team but until they clean up their play, they are their own worst enemies.
