At the beginning of the season the Lexington coach made clear his policy: if you miss a game for any reason except injury, you sit out the next game. If you miss a practice for any reason except injury, you sit out the first half of the next game. It is clear and the coach has applied it fairly across the board.

However, I do have a question for some of the folks posting: why is it that a few people on this message board post about a player missing a single practice all season to go play against Furman and Clemson but we don't see any mention of a player missing a practice to go to a concert, or a church event, a party, or whatever? There was another player who missed the game because of a conflict, and it's occurred with others in the season as well.

You (folks posting) might want to think about trying to apply your standards fairly.
