Default Texas HS football player assaults ref

https://www.houstonchronicle.com/tex...s-15775193.php

Cliffs: he was ejected from game, ran onto field and blindsided the ref as he was announcing it.
He was suspended last year for doing same thing during soccer game.

Kid needs some drop the soap time.

I saw that. The school is in the Valley, on the border. It was a playoff game, and the district removed the team from the playoffs, in a group punishment act. As to the kid, considering it's the SECOND time he's done the exact same thing, yes, I think a little time in the Texas Juvenile Justice Department might be warranted.

Years ago, we were mowing a pipeline right of way that ran through a juvenile prison property and we got to meet a couple of the staffers. The guy who escorted our crew while we were on their property was a counselor. Said some of the kids were already incorrigible by the time they got them, but they did have success with some. Interesting to me is, one of the skills they taught was underwater diving. Guy said he had several kids go on to VERY high paying jobs working for oil companies doing rig diving.

One of my daughter's friends starting in elementary school, was a guy who had a good heart, but just couldn't seem to keep his ass out of trouble when he got to the high school level. Not surprisingly, he had no college opportunities after graduation, and took a free course in welding. It turned out, he was really good at it, and got a scholarship to a trade school. He excelled there as well.

He was recruited by a company, received SCUBA training, and underwater umbilical training as well, and now has been professionally welding underwater for 5+ years. By all accounts, he is EXTREMELY well-compensated.

He seems to have gotten his shit pretty well together too in the last 5 years.
