Two questions— Why would they send the video in without showing the affray. IMO, that was beyond stupid. If my team was not guilty of any infractions, I would want to prove beyond belief by showing such. Sending in the tape without the fight let’s me know that they THOUGHT they were pulling the wool over the eyes of the NCHSAA Director. I guess they took her for some kind of idiot. Oh well, question 2— if they appeal and the answer doesn’t come back in time for the playoffs, will they play and if they win, would it be forfeited?

Inquiring minds want to know………
I think Freedom should play Southwest. No clock. No timer. Nothing! Just play until the last man’s standing.
