How can something like this happen without the Yoakum coaches not knowing? Don't they check the locker room last after all the players exit??? I'm fairly certain those coaches knew something on the way back to Yoakum on the bus......they had to have known. Shame on Yoakum players and coaches......this is totally unforgiveable of them. I'll guarantee the players also had knowledge of what parties were responsible. I wonder if there will be some suspensions in order for those players in the upcoming playoff game(s). Yoakum plays Columbus this week.

BTW......I'm just assuming since it was the players that last used this locker room.....that the damaged occurred at the time they were using it. The article says there is video evidence from the security cameras......Uh Oh.

The article says the damage was discovered after the game Friday night by one of Goliad's junior high coaches assigned to clean up the dressing room. If the Yoakum coaches......any of them......were aware of this incident, you would have to think they should have made a call to Goliad's athletic department with an apology before the story was released in the Victoria Advocate on Monday. The article infers that no such contact was made.......that's even worse!! The only other possible explanation is that someone trashed this locker room AFTER the team AND Yoakum coaches exited.......meaning the Yoakum football team is completely innocent of any vandalism of this locker room.

Statement from Yoakum superintendent Tom Kelley:

Yoakum ISD has launched an investigation into the vandalizing of the Goliad locker room after the game between Yoakum and Goliad on Friday night. This conduct does not conform with the high standards that Yoakum ISD sets for its students. Although friendly community rivalries can be entertaining, this type of conduct has no place in interscholastic competition. Yoakum ISD will address this situation in accordance with the YISD Student Code of Conduct. Due to federal education privacy laws, the district cannot comment more specifically.

The district has offered to pay for the damage and sincerely apologizes to Goliad ISD, its administrators, employees, students and families. Yoakum ISD wishes Goliad ISD well in its upcoming playoff game.

What are the ramifications for the upcoming playoff game(s).....if any......and does the UIL have any rules in place to cover this kind of incident? What if some of the culprits of this incident were players that should have been suspended for any upcoming games and they played? What would happen in this circumstance?

I wasn’t at the game but have two nephews who play for Yoakum. I do know some of the coaches including the HC Bo Robinson. Who ever did this, will be punished severely because there is No reason for that kind of behavior. It’s good they have video so they can pin point exactly who to punish. If Bo knew of this damage he would of contacted the Goliad HC before they left Goliad, because Bo will not stand for crap like this.

Freaking disgrace. YISD will cover all expenses and those responsible will (have) be punished by the law. So sorry Goliad.

It was really stupid for all kinds of reasons......but just for a football reason the chances Goliad and Yoakum will meet in the playoffs in 2 weeks is very high. That alone shows how stupid this act was......but let's face it.......sometimes teenage boys lose their composure and those male hormones go to work. I guess someone had difficulty controlling his emotions and didn't have the common sense to direct them in a different manner. He or they will pay dearly for their foolish behavior. Chalk it up to another life lesson learned.....I hope.

Dang Regal, your quite the drama queen!
They all seen the video, they know who did it and he’s been kicked off the team and Yoakum ISD is paying to repair all damages.
Regal, what did they ever do with that Goliad coach who got drunk, drove is car into the side of that house and caught it on fire?

[regaleagle]

They fired him. I'm not the one that caused this unlawful destruction of Goliad ISD Athletic Center property......your beloved Yoakum Bulldogs did and that Head Coach Bo Robinson is and should rightly so be held accountable......end of story all day long and on Sundays too!! It's readily apparent that he even tried to divert the attention of this shaningan and keep it as quiet as possible......not even alerting anyone whatsoever from the Goliad side. What kind of man is that for a Head Coach/AD, Huh? You need to put your questions to someone other than me......I'm just reporting what so many others should be......and letting those that are trying to circumvent correctness know that there are some serious issues here that need to come to light. It's all about what is correct and ethical.....after the fact. I for one and probably there are many others that will agree that there is no way only one player is responsible for all of these damages. But what did the Yoakum ISD do so far, Huh? It's what it is......and I'm here to call it what it is......a coverup. And if you don't like it......too bad Bluecat!!! Somebody over in Yoakum.....perhaps quite a few connected with that program......need to go take a loooong look in the mirror. Go find somebody else to blame.....it's not Goliad or regaleagle. Truth will set you free.

[bluecat]

Regal, the supts and the authority’s have the video.They are in charge of the investigation and all parties involved are doing what needs to be done to remedy this situation. Anyone or everyone who caused this damage Will be held accountable. Rumors, inneuendo, and smears do nothing to remedy this situation.
Good luck in the playoffs.

Yoakum beat a good Columbus team tonite 30-13. This Yoakum team has earned the right to represent our district in the playoffs.

To read more about this incident.....just google Goliad Advance-Guard News for the article. This is a weekly newspaper......the updated information will appear this week.

Just read the Nov.17 article. It is still not believable that a kid caused this damage just retrieving an item. This in on the Adult leaders. How does one person flood and plug the toilets and rip a fountain off the wall much less slash 38 seats? How did the Adult leaders leave all the trash on the floor? Get real people this was not done by one kid!

Prove me wrong! Change my mind!

[1st and goal]

No one could convince me that at least one of the coaches didn't know about this before they left the stadium.
