Wow, nice brain trust they have going on down there. Sad that the kids have to suffer for it.

Here's a news story on it www.rgvsports.com/articles/elsa-12184-season-football.htmlIf I read between the lines in the article, it looks like EE had no good will built up with their counterparts in the district and the hammer came out real quick. Knowing the area, alot of it is politics as some communites can't stand each other on and off the fields of competetion. The other part of it certainly was self inflicted where they had no lifelines to use.

I would disagree with that assessment.....EE had a parent of a senior on the team turn them in.....prior to turning them in he approached Coach Solis directly and got nowhere with it..... this was not a he said she said type of thing.....this parent had quite a bit of video and audio..... If Solis would have owned up to it....I think the DEC punishes him and makes them forfeit their week 0 win...but he fought them on it..... Same thing happended last year with the now ex coach of Hidalgo starting padded practices a couple of days early.... he owned up to it....they made them forfeit a game and he was suspended for the first district game......

I don't know if he would have owned up to it or not if the DEC would have been less harsh. I do know (rightly or wrongly) EE is among a handful of schools down that way who are ripe to be taken to the woodshead if an opportunity knocks by their peers because of the rivalaries down that way. The fact the parent had some pretty iron clad evidence sort of made it easier if you will to do so. It might have chilled some since I lived down that way. But back in my day, you had cousins and other relatives who couldn't even eat Thanksgiving dinner together because of the rivalaries between some of the towns. What was the parent's motives other than the long practices? Did they have other issues beyond that? You noted the Hidalgo situation and why they got off on a lighter punishment? The same could have been done with EE with their coach being suspened for the rest of the year and a recomendation for EE to terminate his contract instead of flushing the rest of the kids season down the toliet. That's why I noted the rest of the district saw blood and followed through accordingly. Really not fair to those Seniors who worked their rears off for six years going back to middle school in order to have fun their last year in school.

The kids are on the losing end of this. Im sure they worked hard in the offseason and up to now and that is the sad part here. I don't think they can just penalize the head coach and not have the kids suffer though. Sad!

The coach should have at least manned up and offered to resign in order to preserve the season for the kids. What a joke.

Yellowjackets coach Joe Solis said he will appeal. “It was very unfair, and we will appeal,” Solis. “Our kids shouldn’t have to suffer the whole season for one thing that happened, if it happened. It’s not fair for a team or anybody that has a violation to have to forfeit the whole season. That’s not what it’s about; that’s not what the UIL rules are about.” Read more: www.rgvsports.com/articles/elsa-12184-season-football.html#ixzz27WGY8vBb
