Yep. It was a brazen, stupid, shameful violation of the rules. Ritter deserves whatever punishment MSHSAA hands down.
None of that will earn your players college scholarships or a promotion to Head Greeter, though. Your kids are still gonna have to earn those themselves.
C'mon, man, I couldn't resist. Head Greeter?? Whoa, now that's moving on up. That justifies a move to a double wide..!!
