Another article that provides more info, including this quote from one of the officials "While I was being detained, I found out that the (arresting) policeman's son plays on the Mandeville football team and the spectators were his friends," Radcliff said.

It sounded like the fans weren't giving the officials room to do their job.... and refused to do so. I wonder what exactly the refs did to get arrested.

Well, the second article is pretty interesting.

I sure hope this situation works itself out. At least for the sake of example to the players and spectators.

A detail officer, who works for the Covington Police Department, then told the ref to pay attention to the game, and the situation quickly deteriorated from there, Ketelsen said.

Stupid people are allowed to breed. Nothing surprising.

Hooliganism's always been around sports.

The Advocate said one of the officials is waiting to go on trial for a drive-by shooting.

Talk about home cooking.

That's inaccurate. Its a guy by the same name who did the shooting.

I'm pretty sure LHSSA wouldn't let someone officiate if that were the case. The guys in the photos don't look like gang bangers either

"Let's ask the guy that got fired for being incompetent what he thinks about the officer that handled his IA case matters."
