Basketball really never was a non-contact sport, but Friday the 13th was a bad day for area basketball.
Manvel HS coach Greg Devers is nursing a huge shiner. He was punched out by a fan after his team beat La Marque on their home court.
Meanwhile, our own Huffman Falcons JV team had defeated Cleveland in Cleveland, and were in the locker room when they were attacked by the host team.
The word I hear is that our boys won the game and the fight, too. Good for them!
They are back to school today for the first time since the incident, and a little worried about possible repercussions – remember, today’s Zero Tolerance policies also punish the victims. We hope common sense prevails.
If there is a moral to be drawn from this it is
- Don’t play on the road on Friday the 13th, or
- If you must play, it is safer to lose.
