KHSAA Discourages The Postgame Handshake Between Teams
#99
Hot of the telephone guys, I just got this directly from our AD. A few weeks ago, there was a fight that broke out in CKY after a soccer game. Parents from both schools were calling KHSAA claiming fault on the other side. KHSAA is not in a position to act on these types of issues because it is a school function and must be handled by the security procedures of the hosting school. KHSAA attempted to diffuse the calls by telling the callers that they have no say in these issues. Thus, a decision rendered, with acceptance of the schools on one of the boards (he did no know which), decided that the KHSAA should absolve themselves from security related issues. An impromptu resolution was to announce that KHSAA was not going to intercede, and that security of pre, post and in-game security is at the hands of the host school. Thus, if there are incidents at the schools, the KHSAA will not be involved. A penalty was discussed for schools that continue the practice of post game, but he was not clear on what that penalty was. Again, the KHSAA is not directing any school to take any particular action, only to be advised that it is not in the KHSAA's jurisdiction to be involved in incidents that happen at the schools.

More to come as he gets more info and shares with me....
