Very physical game - refs may have actually let it get too physical considering the scuffle between connor and weclowski (and a FR fan that was escorted out by the police). Amazing that no foul was called and both players stayed in the game. Hmmmmm. Nonetheless, Huron just too good especially when the finally decided to get it to stockert down low. FR really doesn't have an offense. Good luck Huron the rest of the way!
ReplyDeleteNice win for Airport 56-53, Good job Jets!

You're always going to have some things happen when that much emotion is put towards one game...with basically the district title on the line..I think the administration from Huron/Flat Rock did a nice job of restoring order. That could have been a HUGE FIGHT BETWEEN EACH SCHOOL. Kudos to those who restrained. NO kudos to those few administrators from both schools who made jerks of themselves!! you know who you are! also the referees lost control, and were terrible !! Didn't effect the outcome..Huron was the much better TEAM!

ReplyDeleteCongrats Huron! I think the refs let this one get a little out of hand. I was surprised that both of the players in the scuffle did not get thrown out of the game, and even bigger surprise that both the FR and Huron coachs left both players in the game right after the incident, Wow!
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts on both teams is: Huron is the better team period. Scarton is the best player in the league, hands down period.
Richarson just shoots alot, without Scarton FR may not win a game, plus their coach rides him like a beaten horse. My god, give the kid a 1 minute breather at leaast, he was totally gassed in the 4th quarter last night.
After last night i think it's safe to say Flat Rock has hit rock bottom.I was ashamed of are school.I watched people going up to the scorers table to get stats.I watched to very good players rolling on the ground for the ball and then the Flat rock player get up and kick the huron kid in the faces.I watched a student leave the stands and start a fight.I watched fan start trouble with the score guy.IT's time for us parents to take control of are school.We need to stop blameing people and start showing some class and get the pride back.
ReplyDeleteSTILL A RAM but not a proud ram.

ReplyDeleteThe fact that no foul was called during the scruff between conner and weclowski was ridiculous. I understand that it was a physical game but even if you don't call a foul you dont put the same to players that just got in a fight back into the game. That was probably one of the stupidest moves or the worst handling of a situation that I have ever seen in my life
ReplyDeleteI sort of agree with the parent from FR, however, I still think the refs let it go to far, prior to the event. Both players should have been ejected, peroid. Both the coaches made a mistake of putting both players right back in the game. Should have used some sense and allowed a cool down period.
ReplyDeleteAs for the kid coming out of the stands to join the melee, he is a punk, and should be suspended from school for that, no excuses.
I do think that the FR administation and parents in the immidate area acted very appropriatly in stopping things and creating order very quickly, thank god they were on the spot. The Huron coach acted like a fool, trying to jump in the middle of it, thanks to the FR administration or teachers for keeping him out of it.
FR basketball is definetly going down the tubes, sad to see, with so much past success and good reputation.
Yeah I'm sorry but to the Flat Rock parent who wanted to start with young Kalby? You should really learn to grow up. The scorers tables is for Administration of the game.. Ie; score keepers, announcers, refs... Not for parents to stand by and scream and yell.. Then when you get told to go sit in the stands, after the game your gonna try and fight him? lol People can say all they want about Huron being classless? But Huron players for the Huron side were restraint and held themselves back.. and not a ONE huron fan jumped out of the crowd to go fight in the fight between weclowski and conner. So I'm just going to wait for some FR fan/player to call us classless... because uhm kicking someone in the head and jumping down 4 steps into the fight from the stands to swing? is as classless as it gets.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, Anyone notice Blosser beast up that kid and haul him out? LOL leave it to Bloss to save the day!

ReplyDeleteKC,
ReplyDeleteTo be fair, the fight occurred right in front of the FR student section. It would have been interesting if the fight occurred in front of the Huron student section what would have transpired. Generally speaking, both student bodies are comprised of good kids but who knows if a single Huron kid wouldn't have got involved if it was right in front of them.
I agree with the posters who credited all with making sure the incident didn't get out of hand. Chalk it up to emotion but still very weird that the refs didn't eject the players (it was obvious who was involved) or even issue a double-foul. Credit the players for not escalating the issue when the both immediately returned to the floor but shame on the coaches for not even sitting them down and admonishing their actions.
TO 11:43 The Huron coach acted like a fool what are you talking about.His player was in the middle of 50 FR people with punches being thrown.He kept his kids away and went to get his player i would not expect anything less.What would your coach do leave his player over there.Flat ROCK has gone to hell because people like you can't ever see the truth.You try to find something wrong with the other side to make it ok for what you have done.All FR people should be saying is where sorry and fix it.
ReplyDeleteI just watched the tape 5 times weclowski and connor where diveing for a lose ball in front of the fr bench. connors got up first and step on weclowki then kicked him in the jaw thats when weclowski through him on his back and took care things.
ReplyDeleteOf all the players on Huron to get in a fight, Tyler Weclowski!! He really coulda hurt someone, I'm glad he didn't. That boy has some serious strength! Thank God it didn't get outta hand!
ReplyDeleteit was a little odd that there were no fouls called during the scuffle, but i don't see why it is so bad that both coaches put those two back in the game. They're both big parts of their team and they were both needed.. so i don't know why anyone is criticizing the coaches. Both players let it go and knew that they had to because of the fact that they needed to help their teams for the rest of the night. If right when the ball was back in play something between those two would have happened, then yeah, it was a bad decision on the coaches part, but it didn't so i wouldn't be too worried about it.
ReplyDeletebut as for the game:
jeese wint sparked huron's comeback when he came in a d'ed up scarton. Although he got 3 fouls in the course of it, he was keeping the ball out of scarton's hands and that's what huron needed to do.
and congrats to scarton for 1000 points, that's pretty solid.
Well to be honest with you; we were all fusing in the student section and thought it was kind of BS when the FR student jumped into it Although I can honestly tell you that all of us that were in that Huron students section where the band normally is wouldn't have gotten involved because;
ReplyDeleteA]were not going to fight in our own school and get banned from school events cus most of us go to all evens ie. football, basketball, volleyball, hockey.. and were not going to risk not being able to go just to swing on a player who is already on the ground. and
B] Our assistant principle, who is a big and scary fella, was standing by our section the entire time, and were not going to do nothing stupid with him right there to once again, get in trouble from being able to attend these events. We can get rowdy and loud and obnoxious, but we've got more respect than to go fighting another player?
And I think FR's coach should've made Conner take a breather.. because if I'm not mistaken? He got called on his 4th foul last night for chest bumping another huron player and trying to get pissy with them [cant recall the player off hand?] I know when it comes to Huron and FR playing, the rivalry is always great and emotions flare... but learn to stay in control a bit.
As I've said before though, it was a good game to watch, and very interesting to watch Scarton keep his team up with Huron. I've got a feeling FR is really going to roll down hill when they lose him.
KC
Huron should be happy about the what transpired in front of the Flat Rock bench. FR was up 5 at that completely controlling the tempo of the game. After the incident (still can't believe at least a double-foul or double tech not called), Flat Rock got out of their game plan and took some quick shots which led to run out layins for the Chiefs. The best two players on the floor then took over, Richardson and Stockert. That combination was too much for Flat Rock when Scarton could not control the game with his ball-handling skills. Weclowski should be given a game ball for turning the tide against the Rams. It would have been extremely interesting if Flat Rock could have extended that lead or took it into the final quarter.
ReplyDeleteTo me, the video shows #5 taking down #00 on way to a loose ball then holding his foot when he tried to get away prompting the kicking/stomping. Then a bit of rolling around. Not exactly how the Huron faithful described it.
ReplyDeleteGlad no one got hurt, especially with the man-child involved ;) Good luck the rest of the way Huron! Make the league proud!
I can't post the video unless you take out the unnecessary captions that you have in it.
ReplyDeleteVideo isn't mine Chris, video was put up by someone in the Huron stands and its a new youtube account.. although people can just look up "weclowski throwin down!" if they want to go look.. The captions aren't great.. but ehh its the video lol
ReplyDeleteKC
Did they take the video off of youtube? I'd like to view it again.
ReplyDeleteThanks!

ReplyDeleteWhy does Hurons assistant principle stand by the Huron student section? Is he like part time security or something?
ReplyDeleteTo the blogger at 6:57 am that says "Richardson just shoots alot" please go to the Monroe Evening news website and you will notice Scarton was 6 for 23, while Richardson was 5 for 16 in their latest head to head match.
ReplyDeleteConnor and Weclowski play with a lot of passion and heart thats there game.They both give a 150% when there on the floor.No one won no one lost to kids playing hard for there team. Lets get back to BB boys.
ReplyDeleteGO CHIEFS
I put the link to the video up because I felt like it was part of the game but I'm not going to post anymore thoughts on the video.
ReplyDeleteI still think the officials made a solid call to let the kids continue.
Basketball is an emotional game and that rivalry in particular is extremely emotional. The kids were playing with passion and emotion and that is a good thing.
The Huron League has six teams playing tonight and it would be nice to see all six of them win and be playing in District Fianls on Friday.
Chris,
ReplyDeleteI am just curious as to your belief that letting the kids continue was the correct decision.
I firmly believe that there needs to be consequences for poor decisions, especially in one's formative years. I continue to be troubled that that an actual fight occurred in an organized basketball game and no negative consequences were levied! Thus, is the message to our kids 1) if you are an important part of the team (or one of the team's better players) you are above the rules of the game and eventually society? This is what was reinforced by the officials (by allowing them to continue) and by the coaches (for not even taking them out of the game for 1 second).
A better, although "expensive" LIFE lesson would have been to remove them from the contest and make them watch. Then, discuss their feelings afterward and instruct them to remember how it felt and that they should always remember the rest of their life that there is consequences to their actions so make good choices. Then, five years down the road they don't make the decision to fight someone for a show of "disrespect" and end up shot or some other tragic incident.
Now mind you, after watching the tape, it truly was less than it appeared when seeing it real time and I have no beef with either player or school. I just wonder if our schools/coaches/parents (and in this case officals) are teaching life lessons or if being successful (winning) is more important to them?
I believe that my character was heavily influenced by the many coaches that I played for in my life. Face it, athletes spend as much time (or maybe more) with these people than with their own parents during the season. At the time, they were not very pleasant experiences when I did wrong but I draw on these experiences each and every day when faced with choices I need to make.
Kind of deep and introspectiv but I hope everyone at least thinks about it.
Thanks for the insightful thoughts. I certainly believe in choices and consenquences. I practice that in my home with my kids.
ReplyDeleteAfter seeing the incident live I formed an opinion that take them out and let them cool down. After watching the video a few times I do think the right choice was made to not eject them.
I guess if the law was looking at the video and wanted to assign blame via participation you could have probably implicated 6 or 7 kids with only two being from Huron.
I would have hated to see that many kids, some of which are seniors, have that final sequence be their last memory of high school basketball. Others may have had to sit out the rest of one game and the next.
I think cooler heads prevailed in the long run and everyone probably learned a solid lesson.
I think too many people on here are making way to big a deal about this little altercation between Weclowski and Conner.
ReplyDeleteBack in the day (mid 80's) stuff similar to this happened from time to time on the court it was a rarity that anyone got ejected.
These 2 kids are competitors they were in the heat of the moment and it got momentarily outta hand. No real big deal, no one got hurt.
I think we can leave it alone now.
Gribble is the security lol guy is a beast! ha im sure if you had him standing by your section watching all of you the whole time, you'd stay in good behavior too
ReplyDeleteKC
im a huge fan of the rams. i have nothing wrong with both teams and the little fight it's the biggest rival in basketball. also the kid who came out of the stands did nothing wrong besides stand up for a friend and a team mate. i was in the crowd as a parent and seen him go in there and did not throw a punch he grapped danny and joe. to brake it up sooo... he should only get 2 to 3 days. not even he just dont like to see his friends get hit in front of him. way to stick up for your friends kid.

ReplyDeleteThanks for your input. You have really helped make an important decision much easier. We can now scratch Flat Rock off the list of potential schools to send my kids to for a number of reasons. 1) Overall outlook on what is right and wrong 2) Horrendous spelling 3) The worst grammar in all of Michigan. Please tell us you attended high school in Kentucky. (notice I did not mention anything about graduating from high school)
