A few days ago, there was a fight at the end of a basketball game between Bonnabel and Helen Cox... both teams were made to forfeit their game.
i'm guessing this has to do with kids leaving the bench (and getting suspended for a game), but both have forfeited their next game as well. Bonnabel forfeited to Grace King tonight and Helen Cox supposedly will forfeit to us next week.
here's the problem. us and Grace King did nothing wrong. Yet, we're both losing big home gates for two other schools getting into a fight. Grace King loses the gate they would have got from Bonnabel tonight at their gym, and we only have so many more chances to see Mitchell Robinson play in high school.
The LHSAA needs to make this right to us the best they can.

This is the right thing to do. When it comes to Discipline and the rules gate money is irrelevant. So you are saying if twos whole teams fight they should not be suspended next game and forced to Forfeit because of lack of players because the next home team They play loses gate money. It's called rules and when you break them you pay the price it's sucks that your school loses gate money but it's the rules and You can't change them over gate money. Take the win and use extra practice to your advantage since you can start preparing for next game earlier now.

so how would you make this right to us?
let's say Grace King would have drawn 250 people at $5 a head
and our game would have drawn 1,000 at $5 a head
maybe Bonnabel and Helen Cox should have to come up with a portion of that? plus we get one extra game to schedule against somebody else

You got the Forfeit that's how it's right. Actually if you add up two ref's at $50 per game each, two security at $30 per hour each so round that to $120. Depends if girls play before boys if so that's $200 for ref's, $240 for security. $440 total you don't make much. They probably pay a forfeit fee to Lhsaa not sure though. You get the W and the power points.

It would be hard to schedule someone else since all schedules are already made and approved by Lhsaa. You could probably get playoff tuneup game but would not count toward your power points I'm guessing. It sucks man but it is what it is maybe those schools should be teaching sportsmanship and how to play withclass, pride, and respect for the game and all that attended that game. I can promise you if a player of mine was fist fighting another team at a game they would not see the court again for sure the remainder of the year.

I'm curious to see how they handle the central Lafourche and East Saint John fight from the other night. The game was called at halftime due to a big fight and it was the last game of the season, so will they all be suspended for the first playoff games which in turn means it will have to Forfeit?

I think they should just leave them off the bracket

I think they should just leave them off the bracket would you put #33 and #34 in due to that? IMO I wouldn't... they didn't do enough to get in the playoffs before, so why should we reward them for two other teams fighting? @

I understand that's a big concern of yours.

I understand that's a big concern of yours. it is... gate money got Evangel kicked out of 5A Looking at the brackets btw we would have to go on the road for round 2 if Central Lafourche has to forfeit to Terrebonne. If we slide 33 and 34 into the playoffs, we might get the home game in round 2
