Incident Summary:Allegation that an Almaden spectator referred to a Kings County as a "black boy". This was discussed between the referee and the 2 coaches as well as the player at halftime. The Almaden coach moved the Almaden spectators back away from the field and told the Almaden spectators to not speak to the players on the field.
Comments:The comment was not appropriate and could have been made in a better way such as identifying the player by number. The PAD Committee encourages spectators to (1) use more appropriate language and (2) to not take to players on the field. The PAD Committee takes no action but reminds the Almaden spectators to act in an appropriate manner.
