The story I heard from a Granite Hills parent was similar to the story you heard. The difference is that I heard that someone from SC posted the punching video on social media and that the GH player made a derogatory comment to that post. The impression that I got from the GH parent was that it was the derogatory comment that got the girl in more trouble than just the punching itself. Regardless of what the exact truth is there is certainly a number of lessons to be learned from this incident.

On a positive note, a Granite parent told me that the Granite coach has been pushing for 3 refs this season, and they had 3 refs at their next home game after this event. I know we all hate to see these things happen in youth soccer, but it's always good to see positive change when these things do occur.
Personally I'm opposed to posting videos/pictures of minors that show them in a negative light in a public forum, but I know others may not feel the same.
If people are going to post comments about videos, it seems only fair that they should post links to the videos so that others can make up their own minds.

Scuttlebutt has it, Westview player attended an "ID Camp" without permission. Stupid rule IMHO, Westview dominated the game deserve the win. Embarrassing game for Poway.
That is a dumb rule. Is he suspended for the season or just a couple of games?
It was their biggest losing margin of the season - for few hours. They got it back last night losing to Calexico, and even worse, at home.
I believe it is in the rule book something like twice the number of games equal to the number of days of the ID camp. So if it was a 1 day camp I believe he would be suspended for 2 games.
The rule is a joke especially since the San Diego section is way more restrictive than the other sections in the state. Kids are only allowed 2 ID camps per high school season and cannot attend at all if not put on directly by a college. If I went to any Division 1 school right now I bet I can find more than 1 kid that has violated this rule.
The Green Book Rule 601 says 2 games suspension for the first infraction, the rest of the season for the second. I'm not sure if playing instead of sitting out the suspension counts as the second.

Since it effects female soccer players and not male football players, it is also a Title IX violation. CIF SD knows this but does not care.
Down in South Bay, the girls Eastlake is by far the best team. The game last night between Olympian and Eastlake was the best game I seen so far this season.
Bonita Vista is overachieving as they are taking advantage of their home field conditions (Probably the worst in the county). Otay Ranch is underachieving and Montgomery has been the surprise of the season.
CIF Playoffs will be fun to watch.

That is the case and one of the dumbest rules that there is. Sad for a title to be won based on something like that but more that the game had to be a forfeit. Suspend the player(still stupid) but not the entire team. A paperwork technicality. The bigger thing is, who from Poway tattled? I can tell you nobody else cares, if it was another team in the league I am certain they don't even report it. The kids in the league have been talking about it a lot, it certainly shines a bad light on the school receiving the gift.
My dds recently went to an ID camp outside of Socal. We were surprised to see so many players from San Diego. They told my dds that they have been to multiple camps this winter, which is a clear violation of the ridiculous 2 ID camp rule in San Diego CIF. I know that 2 of the girls came from teams that have beat us this year, not sure of their league ranking. I am not sure whether the girls and their families knew that they even needed permission to attend ID camps since not all coaches tell their players, some miss team meetings, forget, etc. But to penalize an entire team for the actions of 1 player that might not have even been aware of the rule is beyond belief.
The rule is horrible, but having a rule and not enforcing it is worse.

It has creeped back into high school. "If they find out who tattled he is going to have a big target on him. Unless it is the coach, then they will just clear a ball in his direction." I love teenagers....
Lots of stupid laws, codes and rules are not enforced because they are archaic.
Spoken like a true Poway homer.
Not enforced for everyone is an administrative defect, but at least fair. Selective enforcement is not.

Yes, it's absurd. Knew lots of families who had their DDs hampered by this crazy rule

Looking back, I wish I would have threatened a lawsuit.
