My kids aren't even middle school age yet. I don't know the ones that went down there but I was sitting in the stands and it happened right in front of me. The year escapes me when this happened but I venture to say it was about 10 yrs ago. Also I point out the fact that the students harassing them were weaving in and out of them instead of going around them. GC has 3/4 of the stands and plenty of room to walk around to concessions without having to go through the visitor section...
I also would point out that a few years back some students were gathering on the Sullivan Central side (they were visitors) and a crowd of about 20 started marching over to our side with flags. Don't know what they were going to try and start but couldn't have been good. A group of teachers/parents/something came over from their side quite quickly and marched their butts back over to their side. I commend them for that. My experience at Sullivan Central was very pleasant but a bad group can happen anywhere anytime. There is a difference between creating a situation and a a situation just happening. Those elementary/middle school kids down there at GC were trying to create one.
Respect should be shown no matter who, what or where. Anybody here can tell you my love for Richlands is about the same as getting a root canal and rectal exam at the same time lol. But last year some boys at Richlands, on their side I might add, asked my boy if he wanted to play football with them even though he was decked out in Bulldog colors. That is the way it should be, respect shown for ALL! Be it players, cheerleaders, band members, or just general fans.
