The stadium at East Ridge High in Chattanooga, Tenn., has been condemned by the city of East Ridge because of structural damage, according to the Chattanooga Times Free Press.

East Ridge coach Tracy Malone said the team won’t play at home this week at Raymond James Stadium and will face Signal Mountain in a neutral site game at Heyward Stadium at Baylor High.

According to the report, an East Ridge fire marshal visited the school three weeks ago. A code inspector returned the next week and the stadium was condemned. Hamilton County School officials received a letter detailing the issues and what needed to be done to bring the stadium up to code. The stadium was built in the 1950s.

The damage is on the home side of the stadium. The team is still expected to be able to use the locker room and coaches’ offices. It is possible the team could play the rest of its games away from home.

Lee McDade, assistant superintendent for the school system, told the Times Free Press that a structural engineer will assess the stadium.

“I don’t know if it can be patched enough to make it through the season or not,” he said. “If he says it is structurally sound, we’ll go from there. If not, we’ll have to see. I don’t want to speculate.”

Thanks to a 5-0 start, Wesleyan Christian Academy (High Point, N.C.) has moved to the top spot in first USA TODAY High School Sports/National Soccer Coaches Association of America Super 25 boys soccer rankings of the regular season.

Wesleyan, coming off a 21-0 record last season, was No. 3 in the preseason poll.

St. Ignatius (Cleveland) moves up to No. 3, followed by newcomer St. Louis University High at No. 4 and Jesuit High (Carmichael, Calif.) at No. 5. Jesuit jumped up from No. 20 in the preseason.

Here’s one way to win a slam dunk contest: Leap over the tallest player in high school basketball, 7-6 Tacko Fall.

That was the approach 6-1 Rutgers signee Corey Sanders used Friday night as part of the 17th annual Hardwood Classic, the two-day Florida vs. the USA all-star event in Orlando. The USA team included players from Michigan, Texas, Illinois, Virginia, California, North Carolina and South Carolina.

Dunk contest winner Corey Sanders dunks over Tacko Fall

“Most of it was will power,” Sanders told the Orlando Sentinel. “I’ve jumped over plenty of people, but that was the tallest person I’ve jumped over. It was a good accomplishment.”

Fall helped a little bit — or was making sure he didn’t get kicked in the face — by bending his head to the side. Sanders put his hand on his back as he made the leap.

The result was a perfect 10, as you’d expect.

On Saturday, Sanders (West Oak High, Orlando) had 17 points and seven rebounds and was named Florida MVP in a 95-86 loss. Fall, a Central Florida signee from Liberty Christian Prep in Tavares, had 10 points.

South Carolina commit P.J Dozier (Spring Valley; Columbia, S.C.) was named MVP for the USA with 12 points, seven rebounds and five assists. North Carolina signee Luke Maye (William Amos Hough; Cornelius, N.C.) led Team USA with 17 points.

The high school football official seemingly targeted by two San Antonio John Jay football players has broken his silence to TexasHSFootball.com’s Ronald Oswalt.

UPDATE: An assistant coach for John Jay High in San Antonio is alleged to have said, “this guy needs to pay for cheating us” before two John players appeared to target and intentionally hit a football official during Friday’s game.

The coach, Mack Breed, has been placed on administrative leave following Northside Independent School District protocol, spokeman Pascual Gonzalez said during a news conference Tuesday and according to a summary of events provided by the school district t KENS5.

The district said Breed’s “suggestion was inappropriate and could have led to the incident.”

Breed, 29, has been with the district since 2010.

RELATED: NFL Referees Association condemns attack on high school official in Texas

At the news conference, the district said head coach Gary Gutierrez was not aware of the conversation between Breed and the players. District officials say they have full confidence in Gutierrez.

The district called the incident “shameful and deeply troubling” but said it does not plan to shut down the football program because it would be unfair to the 200 other students involved. The school said it intends to use this as a “teaching moment.”

The district said the incident that has gained national attention – including a video that has gone viral – might have been caused by missed calls. The players alleged the umpire used racial slurs toward them.

The district said it will file a formal complaint with the Texas Association of Sports Officials regarding the alleged racial slur. It said it intends to cooperate with the officials association and the UIL in the investigation.

The UIL announced that it will hold an emergency hearing Wednesday.

“The University Interscholastic League supports the initial disciplinary measures Northside ISD has taken and the UIL State Executive Committee will continue the investigation at an emergency hearing tomorrow,” the statement from the UIL read.

“The committee will hear a report on alleged UIL rules violations by San Antonio Jay High School, students and coaches involved in the incident. The State Executive Committee has the authority to impose additional sanctions as appropriate.”

Northside ISD athletic director Stan Laing said he did not believe that Jay was treated unfairly during the game.

The players who have been suspended from school will be taken to a disciplinary hearing and the incident will be treated as assault on a school official. Punishment could range from the alternative disciplinary school to being assigned to the school run by the Juvenile Justice system.

Meanwhile, as was reported in our podcast, Sgt. Tom Dillard from Marble Falls police said preliminary interviews have been conducted, including with umpire Robert Watts. The police will continue their investigation and and the prosecutor will decide whether to press charges against the players. Dillard said he hoped to have the investigation finalized within the week.

Earlier Tuesday (By Jimmy Isbell, TexasHSFootball.com): The high school football official seemingly targeted by two San Antonio John Jay football players has broken his silence to TexasHSFootball.com’s Ronald Oswalt.

The official was identified by the Austin American Statesman as Robert Watts, a 14-year veteran.

“I like to keep my officiating quiet; unfortunately this will be big news,” he said. “Libel and slander have already been committed against me. I will be contacting the appropriate people soon and any statement from me will come at a later date.”

It is unclear what recourse Watts intends to take.

Watts was knocked down by one player in the fourth quarter of the game at Marble Falls and then another player jumped on him.

As soon as No. 12 knocked him down, No. 81— strong safety opposite of No. 12 — barreled into the official as he laid there on the turf. As soon as the play ended, and the referee gathered himself, he ejected No. 12, but ejected No. 7, who had not been involved in the hits on the official, but came over to him after the play. No. 81, who was the second player to hit the referee remained in the game.

Two John Jay players had previously been ejected for trash talking, according to reports.

Also Monday, the Marble Falls Police Department announced that it was opening an investigation and hoped to have a resolution determined within a week. No arrests have been made at this point.

With school back in session Tuesday, the Northside ISD is expected to begin a “due process hearing,” according to district spokesman Pascual Gonzales.

The players have been suspended from the team and school.

“We will handle this incident on Tuesday morning and schedule a due process hearing which will include formal interviews with coaching staffing , the students themselves and other athletes, anyone who has knowledge of whatever was seen. The bottom line is, Northside will not tolerate this type of behavior. It does appear the athletes intentionally tackled the referee, but we have not confirmed it.”

(USA TODAY) — Another high school football player has died after being injured during a game, bringing this year’s number of football-related deaths to seven.

Troopers said the apparent at-fault driver suffered minor injuries.

Bogan (Chicago) High School’s Andre Smith, 17, was immediately taken to the hospital at 6 p.m. Thursday night after sustaining an injury on the last play of a game against Chicago Vocational High School, according to Chicago’s ABC7.

Smith passed away early Friday morning and an autopsy is scheduled for Saturday, the medical examiner’s office told the Chicago Sun-Times.

“It was a kick return play,” stadium announcer Jimmy Smith told the Sun-Times. “(Smith) was running and a guy blocked him, hit him pretty good and that was it. He went down and he got back up and walk backed to the visitor’s side of the field.”

Jimmy Smith said the paramedic at the game examined Andre and then called the ambulance, adding that he passed out and fell down.

Andre was unconscious but breathing when he was taken tot he hospital, Chicago Fire Media Affairs Director Larry Langford told the Sun-Times.

The news comes just six days after Texas teen Cam’ron Matthews passed away after collapsing on the field.

(USA Today) — Apparel company adidas announced Thursday that it would help any high school in America that wants to change its logo or mascot from “potentially harmful Native American imagery or symbolism.”

The NFL’s Washington Redskins logo is among those under fire across the nation.

The company offered access to the Adidas design team to help come up with new designs for uniforms and will provide financial assistant to offset the cost of new uniforms. Schools looking to participate can email their request to mascotchange@adidas.com.

The announcement comes in advance of Thursday’s White House Tribal Nations Conference, in support of high school mascot name changes. Adidas said it is participating in the event.

“High school social identities are central to the lives of young athletes, so it’s important to create a climate that feels open to everyone who wants to compete,” Mark King, president of adidas Group North America, said in a press release.

“In many cities across our nation, the high school and its sports teams take center stage in the community and the mascot and team names become an everyday rallying cry.”

Last month, California became the first state to ban the use of the name “Redskins” for public school team names or mascots. There were four schools in the state using the name and they have until Jan. 1, 2017 to phase in a replacement.

(USA TODAY) — In what could be the first of many watershed moments to impact the landscape of high school football, two University of Minnesota doctors have recommended that football be eliminated from the nation’s schools.

Lehigh High School defenders Yovani Tomas-Cabrera, top, and Chris Matheus, bottom, tackle North Fort Myers’ ST. Amand on Friday (5/23/14) at Lehigh High School.

Dr. Steven Miles and Dr. Shailendra Prasad examined football-related concussions to reach their conclusion. Their work will appear in the American Journal of Bioethics.

Here is an excerpt from a statement issued by the doctors about their findings.

Public schools should end their football programs because of the high prevalence of concussions. Five to twenty percent of students experience at least one concussion in a season of play. Nine to twelve year old players experience an average of 240 head impacts per season; high school players average 650 head impacts per season. An initial football concussion increases the risk of a subsequent concussion three or four fold not simply for the balance of that season but for the following season as well. Catastrophic brain injuries, though rare, are far more common in high school and college players who have experienced a previous non-catastrophic concussion.

The brains of children are more susceptible to long-term damage from concussion than adults. Although the frequency of concussion in football is about the same as in hockey, fifty times as many students play football than hockey; football causes far more brain injuries. The brain is an irreplaceable organ, the health of which is foundational for the ability to learn, socialize and for fully realizing life’s physical and vocational opportunities.

The statement notes that football-related concussions can lead to impaired academic performance, memory issues, headaches and absenteeism. They also note the potential long-term effects that can become permanent.

RELATED: HS football at critical juncture, top California administrator says

The doctors acknowledge that banning youth football would be unrealistic, but say the pressure of football at the school level coerces young athletes into playing a game fraught with peril.

“If you went to nonschool leagues, those types of coercive pressures would end,” Miles told the Minneapolis Star-Tribune.

Miles and Prasad disagree with the recent statement from the American Academy of Pediatrics that calls for preserving tackle football but increasing alternatives such as flag football or noncontact football. The group called for neck-strengthening exercises and other approaches but not major changes. The doctors called that idea “optimistically speculative.”

RELATED: What fate awaits high school football?

They also took issue with waivers that parents and students are asked to sign, saying the consent forms “read like “negligence waivers for a roller coaster.”

Miles and Prasad urged health professionals to take a stand.

By this option, health professionals would oppose public support for bonds to build stadiums or athletic facilities for junior or senior high school football. They would oppose public school programs granting academic credit for playing football or leave of absences for practice or games. Such a proposal would not ban youth football. Private play and private leagues, like the Pop Warner program, would continue. Young people choosing such programs would play purely for the game and not be lured by ‘school spirit.’ Health professionals would continue to promote life long exercise programs and school physical education programs. However, under this proposal, the medical community could help students, schools and society leave a sport on which the sun is setting.

As what happens next, Miles said, “Now that doesn’t mean it will go anywhere, but I think people are looking for a solution to the concussion/school football player issue that does not involve something as difficult as banning the sport.”

Another lengthy winning streak ended Friday night in the postseason.

Bellarmine (San Jose) scored with 41 seconds remaining for a 42-35 victory in the CIF Division I-AA North Regional Bowl that snapped No. 17 Folsom’s 30-game winning streak.

Bellarmine got the ball back to the Folsom 31-yard-line after a 54-yard interception return by Vincent Fernandez and Antonio Garcia then scored on a 26-yard run in what the Sacramento Bee called “one of the greatest victories in the program’s storied history.”

The Bells (13-1) now move to a CIF Bowl Game against Mission Viejo next week for coach Mike Janda, who has been the school’s coach since 1984. The win victory was No. 270, breaking the Central Section record.

“We all knew coming in that they were an explosive team,” Janda told the San Jose Mercury News. “They showed it. Our job was to make another play somewhere along the line, and luckily Vince got a big interception.”

Folsom’s 30-game winning streak was the longest active run in the state and its 43-game home winning streak that also was broken is the second longest in regional history, according to the Bee. Folsom managed to reach this point and go 14-0 despite losing 21 starters, including all-everything quarterback Jake Browning.

Folsom had fought back to tie the game in the third quarter and eventually turned a two-touchdown deficit into a one-touchdown lead thanks to two scores by Tre Green and a 96-yard kickoff return by Eric Davis.

But Bellarmine again relied on Fernandez and Garcia. Troy Martig hit Fernandez for a 24-yard gain to the Folsom 15. Garcia then ran it in for the touchdown and the score was tied 35-35 with 2:18 to go.

Looks like the Mark Richt era isn’t quite over in Athens.

Despite being fired at the end of the regular season, Richt will attend Saturday’s UGA Senior Gala after being invited to do so by the senior class. This is normally an event attended by players and recruits alike, but this year the recruits will steer clear as Richt is now Miami’s head coach.

Instead of meeting potential future teammates at the banquet, the recruits visiting Athens this weekend will meet new coach Kirby Smart at a separate function. Star quarterback Jacob Eason from Lake Stevens (Wash.) is among those visiting Georgia this weekend, giving Smart a chance to keep hold of UGA’s most prized recruit from the 2016 class. Eason visited Washington this week and has indicated Florida has snuck back into the conversation after Richt’s firing, but he still made the trip to Georgia this weekend.

In addition to Eason, Georgia will be hosting elite offensive linemen Ben Cleveland of Stephens County (Toccoa, Ga.), Willie Allen of John Curtis Christian (River Ridge, La.) and Chris Barnes of Lee County (Leesburg, Ga.) this weekend. Cleveland was the first player that Smart visited with hours of getting the job and he reaffirmed his commitment to the Bulldogs.

Smart’s ability to secure the signings of Eason and his trio of personal protectors will go a long way in deciding the success of his first offseason in Athens. How successful he’ll be in that endeavor is hard to say given the long shadow Richt will be casting over campus Saturday night.

Division I men’s lacrosse coaches have agreed to support a proposal that would ban contact with recruits until the start of a player’s junior year, according to a report from Inside Lacrosse.

The vote, taken Friday, at a meeting of the Intercollegiate Men’s Lacrosse Coaches Association in Baltimore, marks a “monumental day for us,” IMLCA Executive Director Phil Buttafuocco told Inside Lacrosse.

The proposal would still need approval by the NCAA.

The men’s coaches organization will examine the possibility of joining a similar proposal put forth by the women’s coaches association that will enter the NCAA legislative process in January. A proposal with support of both the men’s and women’s coaches might draw more attention from the NCAA. If the men are unable to do so, the men’s organization will draft a proposal that could by reviewed by the NCAA beginning in January 2017.

The genesis of the proposal was to virtually eliminate the run of high school freshman and sophomores who are making verbal commitments to play college lacrosse.

“We collectively did what is right for our sport and for our college coaching profession,” Penn coach and IMLCA Executive Board member Mike Murphy told Inside Lacrosse.

Katy (Texas) earned a trip to the state 6A championship game in much the same way it has earned many of its victories this season — by shutout.

Katy, ranked No. 7 in the Super 25, beat No. 13 Steele (Cibolo) by a score of 38-0 for its 10th shutout of the season. The Tigers (15-0) have allowed a total of 55 points in 15 games.

The Tigers will meet Lake Travis next Saturday in Houston in hopes of adding an eighth state title to its trophy case, and apparently, a matchup with Katy is what the Lake Travis faithful wanted after a 49-21 victory against Mansfield.

The game will be the fourth consecutive state title for Katy, whose notable alumni include Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton.

On a windy Saturday against Steele, Katy took an early 7-0 lead on a 20-yard TD pass from Garrett Doiron to J.C. Santana and never looked back. The Tigers added a field goal in the second quarter for a 10-0 halftime edge and then opened up the margin in the third quarter.

A touchdown on a fumble return by JoVani Stewart and a 1-yard TD run by Kyle Williams made it 24-0 after three quarters and then All-American Kyle Porter and Harold Turner III added two more rushing TDs in the fourth.

Kentucky signee Malik Monk scored 40 points on a Friday night … in the second half.

According to reports, Monk again set the school scoring record with 53 points for No. 7 Bentonville, Ark., in an 84-76 victory against Arlington, Tenn., at the Natural State Shootout in Jonesboro. The previous record was 50.

In one flurry, Monk made a slew of three-pointers to start the second half. According to one report, he scored 17 points in the first three minutes of the third quarter and finished the quarter with 22 points.

And in typical Monk style, some of this points came via the tear-the-house-down variety:

And meanwhile, De’Aron Fox — another Kentucky backcourt signee — had 46 points and 14 rebounds in a 92-82 loss by Cypress Lakes (Texas) to Dekaney.
