Judge Says HS Football Players Involved in Brawl Can Still Play This Weekend

What’s the best thing to do when four of your best players get involved in a brawl in a state playoff game and are suspended for the next game? Go to court, of course, and get some judge to rule that there’s not enough time for a full hearing before Saturday’s big game.  Great! School and high school athletic association be damned. These are the playoffs!

BONUS: Video of the brawl that’s one of the worst we’ve ever scene.

But first, some background on the story from Charleston Gazette:

Four South Charleston High School football players suspended after last weekend’s on-field brawl will play in Saturday’s state Class AAA semifinal, after Kanawha Circuit Judge Carrie Webster granted a temporary restraining order on Tuesday.

Because the courthouse is closed on Thursday and Friday for the Thanksgiving holiday, there is not enough time to schedule a hearing where the four players — Tyler Harris, Pierria’ Henry, Emerson Gagnon and Trevond Reese — and the West Virginia Secondary School Activities Commission can present their sides of the story, the judge said.

The players are now eligible to play in Saturday’s Class AAA semifinal game against Brooke High School. They were suspended Monday by the WVSSAC for their involvement in a brawl at the end of Friday’s playoff game against Hurricane High School at Laidley Field.

Webster’s order states that the players “have presented sufficient evidence to demonstrate that they will suffer immediate and irreparable harm” if they have to wait for a hearing before they can play.

HS Football Player Claims That Teacher Had Sex With Him in Hospital Bed – Jenifer Lee Riojas

Bit of a strange story here, but then it’s been a strange year for BadJocks.

In this case we have a hot 9th grade science teacher from Carter-Riverside High School (Texas), accused by a 16-year-old football player of giving him private lessons in biology after school. In an affidavit, the boy claims that over a several month period, Jennifer Lee Riojas took him to numerous hotels in the Fort Worth area for sex and that at one point, while he was recovering from a football injury, she allegedly showed up and they had sex in his hospital bed. The documents do not say if this procedure helped speed the boy’s recovery.

Somewhere in the midst of these two, uh “dating” Riojas found time to get married AND divorced and is now claiming that she is dating yet another man.  The entire alleged affair came to a head this fall when Riojas revealed she was pregnant and the teen was concerned she was the father.

Here’s more from CBS News:

Jennifer Riojas, a Fort Worth teacher accused of having sex with a 16-year-old student, may be pregnant with the teen’s child, according to one report.  Police took Riojas into custody on Wednesday. The 25-year-old taught 9th grade science at Carter-Riverside High School before resigning last month.

The student told police their encounters took place in motels around North Richland Hills and once even in a hospital bed, where the student was recovering from a football injury, reports CBS affiliate KTVT.   According to local station WFAA, investigators said the teenage victim came forward last month because he feared he could be the father of Riojas’ unborn child. The baby’s paternity has not been established.

Tea-Bagging Returns to HS Football: Four Players from Valencia HS in NM Under Investigation for Hazing Incident

It’s been a little while since we had a sports hazing incident involving tea-bagging on BadJocks. For those of you not familiar with this ritual, it involves holding the victim down on the ground face up, and then lowering your bag o’ testicles down and “dunking” them on his face . . . similar to what one would do with a bag of tea, hence the name. This latest incident happened in Los Lunas, New Mexico, not far from an infamous incident two years ago at Robertson High School in Las Vegas, NM. In that incident, however, it wasn’t bare testicles involved but broom handles allegedly shoved into someone’s  behind. You’d think the kids–or even the adults–would learn after something like that made national news, but apparently not.

Here’s the limited details we have from KRQE:

News 13 learned four Valencia High School football players are under investigation for sexually assaulting younger teammates. Los Lunas School District officials said they’re not sure if it’s case of hazing or just out-of-control bullying.  It happened in the locker room at Valencia High School late October, according to the Superintendent. He said the district found out about it a week ago when one of the victims parents reported it.

Sources told News 13 four seniors sexually humiliated younger players on the junior-varsity team by holding them down and lowering their private parts onto their faces.  The Superintendent said there were at least three victims. He also said that a group of other players witnessed all of this but did not take part in it or stop it. He said their investigation found no coaches knew about it.
