Here's the fight from last Friday...
((HT: TV16HD, Jasper AL))
The first steps came in the administrative leave and, then, resignation of Walker Head Coach John Holladay...
Now, we know the rest...
The Alabama High School Athletic Association has placed Walker High School on a restrictive probation, fined the school $1,500 and also placed John Holladay on a one-year suspension. Cullman's defensive coordinator Matt Hopper was also suspended for the remainder of the 2013 season, and Cullman was fined $1,500 and placed on non-restrictive probation.
Under the restrictive probation, Walker is also banned from post-season play this year.
The HQ immediately finds the Hopper suspension strange considering all he seems to be doing is reaching for a postgame handshake before his face kept running into Holladay's fist...
“The AHSAA encourages the two schools to work together to enhance relations between their student-athletes and communities and, in doing so, demonstrate the leadership necessary to foster the AHSAA’s mission of good sportsmanship in interscholastic athletics,” said AHSAA Executive Director Steve Savarese in a statement.
“It is time to move the focus away from this isolated event and note the outstanding sportsmanship that is exhibited across our state by our member schools, teams and coaches each week. Let’s now move forward and accent the positive impact education-based athletics makes daily in the lives of our student-athletes, coaches, schools and communities.”
