Plymouth South had made an appeal to the MIAA over the use of an illegal football after losing to the Red Hawks in the Division 2A semifinal
The Boston Globe is reporting that all Natick High School football coaches will have to attend four separate sportsmanship classes by the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association's football committee. The ruling comes after Plymouth South appealed to the MIAA after Natick defeated them in the Division 2A semifinal, 38-33. The MIAA postseason requires the use of the Spaulding J5V ball, but because of the poor weather conditions a Natick coach had requested to use a Wilson ball because it's easier to grip. Despite the fact that the officials told Natick coaches that it was okay, Plymouth South later complained and even asked that the Red Hawks' win be overturned. While the committee did rule that Natick did not intentionally use …

Coach Mark Mortarelli said his team "made plays when we had to."
Natick took Brookline in a 21-7 win Saturday. Natick put together a 12-play, 56-yard drive to open the game that ended with Troy Flutie (231 yards passing, 70 yards rushing and two touchdowns) rolling left and hitting Brian Dunlap (180 yards receiving and two touchdowns) in the left corner of the end zone for a 5-yard touchdown. The Brookline Warriors responded with a 13-play drive of their own that included a third-and-18 conversion from Nick Scott to Leon Scott and brought Brookline to the four-yard line. After a holding penalty and fumbled snap that set the tone for the game, however, Brookline was unable to reach the end zone. It looked as though Brookline was going to finally reach the end zone after Nick Scott (132 yards rushing, 152…

I actually didn't fully understand the ruling, as it seemed contradictory. They ruled that the coaches, and I'm paraphrasing, weren't trying to cheat, but then they made a ruling that the coaches should not have asked to use the other ball and that doing so constituted poor sportsmanship. If they weren't trying to cheat, then I don't understand why it would be poor sportsmanship to ask to use … more ›
