There will be no appeal and no griping about the ejection and subsequent suspension of Tyree Parker from last Friday’s game against Buckeye.
Paradise Valley’s talented runner was kicked out of the contest after a skirmish with a Buckeye player on an onside kick in the fourth quarter. It was hard to tell who initiated what, but Parker seemed to be ejected for poking the opponent in the eye.
A player ejected from a game is suspended for the next contest, so Paradise Valley will be without Parker this week in a quarterfinal matchup at No. 1 Cottonwood Mingus.
“Done deal,” Paradise Valley coach Donnie Yantis said. “There’s no appeal process. No excuses.”
Mikah Ruffino will fill in for him, while Jake Brown - who missed the first game against the Marauders - will get his number called early and often.
Parker will be the scout team quarterback in practice this week, emulating Mingus’ offensive schemes.
“Tyree’s going to help us win (in other ways),” Yantis said.
