OSG High: Police Investigating Helmet Bashing During HS Football Game

((HT: WGAL-TV))

The only way to describe this is selfish and ugly...

In a Pennsylvania high school football game Friday night, one player took the helmet off another in a scrum and decided to try and beat his opponent with it...

In the game between Hamburg and Annville-Cleona, you see a Hamburg player striking an Annville-Cleona player with a helmet (what looks like)...

Hamburg's Joey Cominsky and Annville-Cleona's Tyler Prentice were ejected, and South Annville (PA) police are considering filing charges.

Here's the report from the incident Friday night where Cominsky takes off Josh Hartman's helmet and tries to smash his skull in with it...


Here's the statement from District 3:

Please note that District 3 will not conduct a hearing tomorrow (Wednesday) into the incident that occurred during Friday's football game between Hamburg and Annville-Cleona.

Although District 3 has the authority to request information from member schools on a number of matters, it has chosen not to ask either school to appear at this time.

The matter is currently being handled by both schools. If either school requests a hearing on the matter, District 3 will make a determination at that time and alert the media and general public as to the status of the matter.

The fact that District 3 has chosen not to take any steps at this time does not preclude action by the district at a future date if the committee feels such action is warranted.

The District 3 Committee will meet Wednesday at 8:30 a.m. at the Mountain Laurel Conference Center behind the Hotel Hershey; it is a regularly scheduled meeting. Media and the public are welcome to attend.

Which, I'm sure, they most certainly will... even if no one talks about it...
