The web site could be a great source of information, especially on rainy days like today. It also let's the average parent see what it takes to try to run an operation like this, not to mention the hard work that all the coaches do.
It would be a great place to see the schedule, final tournament or special events posted in advance.

Was last season deleted?
I was going through this thread and realized last season is totally gone or never posted.
Am I wrong or does the thread skip last season?
What happened to all the posts from the league last year?
I think the pigskin web page is great. I think if the coaches delelgate more, more information will end up on it.

Re the fight on Saturday night at Lettie Dent
I was there Saturday night. How do I get to the post you are referring to? (I'm new at this.) I'd like to read what you read about it. The team from Lex Park was way out of control and 5 police cruisers had to be called to come in and diffuse a very volatile situation. The boys on the Lex Park team were out of control and seemed to be encouraged by their coach and their parents to fight. I have been involved with the Pigskin league for over 20 years with my kids and now my grandson and I've never seen anything like this in all that time. Seems like the coach and parents of Lex Park are exploiting the kids for their own warped reasons. Apparently, it has been said that this is not the first time this team and coach have been unruly. Instead of teaching sportsmanship, they seem to be learning gang related tactics. It's scary.

I also was there it was three police cruisers that came. One of the broncos parents put his hands on my husband last night. I do not understand how a parent can let their children act like that? Throwing their equipment off at Don, I even seen some of the parents picking up equipment and throwing it at him. If that was my child over there I would have JACKED HIM UP!!clg1313 said:

I wasn't there, but I've seen this before in this league. It usually goes this way:
You have two teams from opposite ends of the county who don't like each other. The ref is accused of favoring the northern team which coincidently is coached by a relative. They both are related to Don Kemp (son and nephew) - the league owner.
This according to the Southern team, who then started arguing the point, apparently setting off some Northern parents who started cussing and heckling.
The Southern team (according to the Northern team) started a "mêlée" which was broken up by between three and five police cars which then ended the game.
The southern team then allegedly threw all their equipment at Don Kemp. Now the team and coach are banned for the rest of the season or until further notice.
Still waiting on a decision on refunds!

Actually what happened was 3 kids from the south team got thrown out because of cussing, The third boy tried to attack one of the refs. There was a big mess with equipment getting thrown at Don by parents, and the kids. There was a physical altercation, trust me I know on that because one of the south parents put his hands on the cowboys coach, and then my husband. Now the south team is trying to justify the way their kids acted. Also there was 3 police cars and four police officers, and it isn't son and nephew but both are his Dons sons.

I was not at the game however stopping the game and sending everyone home was probally the best call. This is a game of discipline and the coaches need to have controll over their players. We even talk to our parents at the beginning of the season and tell them what kind of behavior is expected from them on the sidelines. This incident just highlights the nature of people and how a group think can be dangerous and destructive. It is ashame for the kids who want to play the game.
According to today's Enterprise
Don Kemp asked that the equipment be returned - then and there. No report of equipment being thrown at him. Obviously parents from the suspended team are unhappy that their children were "stripped" on the field on a chilly night. Just as obvious Don Kemp disagrees.
As a somewhat nuetral, ie I don't have a child playing in the league but I do have friends and coworkers who have been associated with the league, observer all I can say is that this story is deja vu all over again. Seems everytime there is an incident like this one or more of Don Kemp's realatives are involved. It was reported the coach of the Cowboys was his son. It was not reported who the officials were. If it was in fact another relative there is at least the appearance of a conflict of interest. If, as mentioned above, fouls were not being called I can understand how the Brown's might feel.
It's a shame and another black eye for youth football in the county.
