Personal Foul. Tripping. Fifteen Yards On The PO-leece

Dallas – After the dramatic penalty-kick shootout victory by Austin Vandergrift over Trophy Club Byron Nelson in the 4A girls soccer title game Saturday, students from the school jumped down from the stands and ran on to the field to celebrate. Just before they did, the public-address announcer reminded all fans that they were not to go on the field after the match. But seeing all the fans along the rails in front of the stands, I knew they were headed to the field. Sure enough, after the win was secured, kids ran on to the field and celebrated. They were back off the field in less than five minutes. No harm done, right? Not by the students, anyway. But check out the actions of the Georgetown police officer in this video as the students run on the field. Tripping one, trying to trip another, pushing another. I’m not sure what measures he was told to take if fans came on to the field, but this did not look good.
