Randy Tune, defensive coordinator for the frosh-soph football team at Highland High School, was fired last week immediately after instructing four defensive linemen to rush a Liberty High School quarterback before the play began. As a result of the play when Liberty was winning 36-0, the Liberty center, 14-year-old J.J. Perez, went to the hospital with a broken left clavicle. The four Highland players were ejected from the game and will likely be ineligible to play the next game. The injury to Perez shows the dangerousness of such a play as he was knocked down before he was ready to brace himself. Tune, an assistant coach who does not teach at the school, was fired immediately by Varsity Coach Cliff Bolton. Highland principal Bob Schneider said, "There's no excuse. What matters first and foremost is the safety of the players." High school is where students go to learn things. What lesson was taught here? Posted by Steve E. Swenson
