I had a chance today to read comments on the Sandusky Register Facebook page, in reference to their article about the school bus incident. I’m not shocked by several parents who obviously have kids on the team condoning the behavior.
 
That’s a damn shame but not surprising.
A lot of it was….

1. Bellevue started it.
2. It’s a rivalry
3. No one was harmed so what’s the big deal.
4. Bellevue treated Santoro horribly and vandalized his house first.
5. People are soft.
6. Bellevue did far worse than that, so it’s ok.
7. A few more excuses.

My question to folks that condone the action, is would you see the likes of other top tier programs in Ohio do the same thing? I’m going to take an educated guess and say no.
 
a. Bellevue tried to help Glenville beat Perkins. Bellevue put personal feelings above what is best for the SBC. To me, that is a big deal.

b. Driving by Ed's house seems pretty trivial. Better not do anything like that again though.
So teaching kids to do the wrong thing is trivial? So saying you’re sorry after making an irrational decision just makes it all ok? Not only did the coach allow this so did the high school principal! So the people we are trusting to mold these kids into young men who are shown and taught to make rational decisions can just do trivial things? Perkins preaches the pirate way so do these actions fall in line with what is preached? Quit putting winning above the fact that grown adults took a bus load of kids to someone’s house at what hour of the night to heckle a coach and cause a disturbance amongst his own neighbors also! Technically disturbing the peace by law! What if a bunch of people show up in front of your house blaring the horn and cussing you out what’s your next move?

Pirates aren't really a positive role model.
 
MartyJohn82, You are spot on. I would define it at the worst as Disorderly Conduct if you wanted to find a law out there to be broke.

It’s just a poor look and what makes it worse is for some it’s condoned behavior. Thank god that wasn’t the pirate way when I roamed those halls, success or not.

chs1971, I guess the behavior could be worse right lol. True Pirates were a wild bunch of dirty drunks with very very levels of vitamin C.
 
For the record, I think what the Perkins coach did was really dumb but not dumb enough to lose his job.

Bellevue's coach has retired. Criminal charges would only be throwing accelerants on an extinguished fire.

KInd of funny, isn't it?

It would help me to understand that helping a school from Cleveland prepare to play a member of my own league in the playoffs is a bad idea and would do harm to my reputation and that of my school and community. And there are people in Bellevue who are not pleased that their coach and school did that.

You can't make up a claim that Glenville threw up gang signs on the field after the game one year just do a real life drive by the next 🤣 😂. There is no way around this one

"a real life drive by"
hahahahahahahahahahahahaahhahahhahahhaa
 
I wasn't nearly as serious as you are defending grown idiots but if you can't see the blatant hypocrisy and classlessness then my sincere condolences on the loss last Saturday, coach
People on both sides made decisions that embarrassed their schools and communities and damaged their own reputations.

Didn't I say it was "really dumb?"

Either criminal prosecution or job termination would be just as ridiculous.

If the school were from Port Clinton, Toledo, or Maumee would have been better?

I'm always going to support other coaches in my league in the post season. I am never going to help a non-league opponent make my league look bad.

Port Clinton is an SBC member. Toledo schools and Maumee are not.
