Anyone else here ever play Ward ball? Without doubt the roughest and most violent organized sports I ever played.

Heavy hit during church game leads to child abuse charge

I used to work with the perp. I didn't know him too well, but from what I knew this doesn't really surprise me. How do you break it to your wife that you have been arrested for hurting a kid?

Nothing good comes out of ward ball. Well except when you're two best neighborhood friends are 2 years older and you've been playing street ball since you were 7. You "fellowship" them on to the team and I'd drop dimes (I have good handles), they'd just batter fools and nobody touches you for 3 years. I love me some Catholics from San Hoe. We'd wupp up on all sorts of teams older than us and the trash we'd talk.

This though, totally unacceptable but seems inevitable.

FYI - I can still shoot a 3 and take a punch like nobody's business.

In his case with brass knuckles. Or maybe a folding chair.

The boy told police that Stettler said something to the effect of, "You can dish it out, but you can't take it," according to the charges.

Yeah, that's what the KSL story said. I've been a scoutmaster before (and those kids were insane, and drove me nuts) and I've spent several years serving as a young men's leader in the church. I've also got a 13 year old son who can be extremely obnoxious when he wants to be. There were times when they all deserved to be taken out, but I can't even imagine actually doing it to them. It takes a special kind of person to drop a shoulder and plow down a 13 year old kid.
