I thought our coaches and staff handled it well and got everyone out of there without it worsening.“This is without question an unfortunate incident that is not representative of the school culture that exists in Carlisle Community School District.“I want to make it clear that this type of conduct is not tolerated at Carlisle CSD. The district will follow the student code of conduct policy and procedures throughout the investigation of this incident and implement appropriate consequences.“All proper authorities have been notified of the incident.”A police officer was present at the game but the player who launched the attack was not arrested.The boy who was knocked out is reportedly doing okay.But social media was quick to slam the incident.Some slammed the boy who threw the punch and called for him to be rubbed out for the rest of the year, if not worse.Others blamed the handshake line itself.It’s far from the first violent incident like this.Earlier this month, former NBA star Corey Benjamin apologised after his daughter sucker punched and concussed an opponent.“This is not how I raised my daughter,” Benjamin, who played three seasons with the Chicago Bulls and one with the Atlanta Hawks, told NBC Los Angeles. In the video, Benjamin’s daughter missed a shot. With her team down double-digits, she sucker-punched 15-year-old Lauryn Ham, a player on the other team.
