Out of school suspensions are best reserved for serious matters such as assault or drugs — or for second or third offenses of more minor things. As Curtis said, this is a pretty common punishment. As you said Richard, fortunatley, it was this weekend and not Regionals.

There was a kid up here that was caught with chew the Monday before State last year. He was suspended and the third-place kid from his District replaced him at State and finished fourth.

Ouch.
