I would have let him get away with the flag planting, but the middle finger gesture did him in and made it very unsportsmanlike.

Falls got the last laugh though didn't they because look at the final score!

Flag OK
Finger meh, not the best decision. Now if we had that new field the flag would have either just fell over, or he would have a nice bill to pay for the repair!

I think it was awesome falls needs to suck it up and know kids will be kids

I think it is a senior prank and people are overreacting about it.the middle finger was put up because "the great sportsmanship falls student section" yelled profanity words at him. give the kid a break he was doing something to support his school

"The SPORTSMANSHIP AWARD is certainly ours on this night….~Mr. Anderson"

^ Purposefully mispronouncing Sussex's star RB Drew Patterson's name as Drew "Peterson" for an entire half is childish, along with the PA announcer's snobbish attitude.. There was a point in the game where after a Sussex offensive play he announced "(Sussex Players name), MEET (Falls players name)!!" Instead of just stating that it was a tackle.

Very unprofessional in my opinion, it reflects the arrogance and snobbishness that Mo Falls never fails to present. If we want to talk about profanities taking this prank over the line, how about the NUMEROUS profanities directed at Sussex, F bombs included, that were spray-painted on the train bridge near Hamilton by Falls students, year after year.

I'm with Rj. People need to just let it go. We're talking about him flipping off the student section that a year ago made t-shirts that said "Suck Fussex". Really classy. It's a bunch of high school kids at a high school football game - I don't care what you want, we're not going to be classy.

Let's see..... Falls sportsmanship?? I have been to many falls football games and have been booed while walking past the falls side, by falls students (I am a parent) AND adults. I have been at the falls stadium getting food and have received rude comments from Falls students I have seen a wrestler from the falls intentionally illegally headbutt a Hamilton wrestler, breaking his nose. Sportsmanship?? I think not!

Once again we have verified Sussex is indeed pronounced Sussucks.

Both sides have their moments of not being classy: Falls making the Suck Fussex shirts. Sussex doing this. But Sharri: Who doesnt boo fans of the rival? you can't just expect them to say "hi sussex fan, I hope you are having a great night". Greg: As if your announcer doesnt do the same thing? RJ: We wouldn't have yelled profanities if he hadn't disrepected our field by planting a flag in it. And as I recall in a basketball game 2 years ago at sussex, a falls player was pushed into the sussex student section and the students pushed him almost causing a brawl. And dont even get me started on what some of the the sussex players and fans were saying on twitter after the game. because those were just a downright disgrace.

He should've mooned the Falls side.... Now THAT would've been something.

Who cares! Get OVER it!! The Falls ONLY won by 1 field goal anyway. LUCK!

Basically to sum this all up, falls sucks

How about the announcer after the game giving the final score....Menomonee Falls 24...Sussex Hamilton 21...Why so quiet? How does that show any class? Mr. Anderson said he is a "volunteer" and was voted the best announcer in Southeast Wisconsin last year. Really?...show some class! Did anyone witness the the disgusting behavior in the parking lot after the game? Falls students swearing and banging on the hoods of Hamilton cars? Or the group of Falls students who came to our student section and stood in front of them and then tried to stand with our students until some parents stepped in and asked them to leave. I witnessed a completely different game then some other fans I guess.

I couldn't see any Finger Displays going on in that video. I don't think planting the flag was bad at all. However, if he did that and then ran off flipping the bird to everyone, then I'd say that was going too far and was just rude. There's a difference between doing something that's fun and just being an ass.

You're not going to find a better announcer anywhere!!!!!! I mean anywhere..the Falls is very lucky to have the announcer we have!!!!...sounds like the Sussex population is just sore losers....the flag planting is no big deal and obviously got the Falls side pumped up even more....Let's keep the rivalry going without all this ridiculous talk....

We are living in a PC world. As a coach, fans, and parents should not be on the field. What if Mommie's little baby would have been tackled and hurt by a Falls player we would be probably talking a law suit. When my Son was a Junior at HHS they lost at the Falls and the Falls kids stormed the field and surrounded and taunted the players in their post game huddle in the end zone. The next year when HHS beat the Falls The Ad at HHS kept the gates closed allowing the Falls player to leave without confrontation, after that they brought the players over to the sideline and opened the gates to the parents and the fans. My best memories of our son's senior year was these post game gatherings when I as a parent could share the joy and tears of my son's last year in high school athletics.
My last point is the players know each other from the 2 schools. The problem is off the field and not usually on it.

Listen here people there is alot more stuff going on in the schools than a kid planting a flag. He was showing his school spirit and just cause he flashed the middle finger ok. I was at the game and heard the falls student section swearing at him. So get over it let the kid be free noone was hurt the field wasnt damaged. It was just a prank everyone has done them.

Jerry does a good job announcing. I am sure he just didn't know Patterson's name. I almost went up to the booth to tell him that Drew Patterson is Sussex Running Back, Drew Peterson is a murderer:)

So the moral of the story is.... sussex fans are just mad they lost and need someone to take out their anger on. Poor baby's, GET OVER IT. YOU LOST :'(

Kid should have been issued a ticket for criminal damage to property along with the disorderly conduct.

Yes falls cheated because the REFEREES made a call in our favor. Thatd be like saying last night the Seahawks cheated because the referees gave them the touchdown(even tho there was pass interference, but thats a diffirent story). Sussex fans need to learn how to take a loss, because obviously you guys are mad because we outright played better than you and you know it so you are just trying to make up excuses as to why you lost. Maybe if you had scored more in the first half it wouldn't have come down that one onside kick.

And hamilton ruler, they ruled that the hamilton player touched it b4 10 yards, and watching it on falls cable access, he hit it with his knee at 9 yards. maybe you should get your facts straight before you post next time and embarass yourself

Actually I'm pretty sure all commentors (hamiltontheruler excluded) acknowledge that Falls won. The reason for the posts above is the fact that the concept of Falls having superior sportsmanship compared to ANY school is downright laughable

Hamilton's Student section >>> All other student sections.

^^^ you guys seemed pretty quiet the whole duration of the game to me..... why so quiet?! such a supportive student section.....

One thing, Hamilton played there worst game they have played all season & Falls played the best they have all season but yet Hamilton only lost by three.. sad

24-21

Sussex, you mad?

THEY'RE MAD!!!! charger pride is dead!

Being of the MFHS alumni, it puts a smile on my face to see Sussex take it in the pants like they so often did back in the 90s.

WHO THE HELL CARES ABOUT HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL HONESTLY... I know it's a big like, rah rah we have spirit in Sussex and Menomonee Falls look at us, but really, in the scheme of things it really doesn't matter. It's an excuse for kids to be rowdy at a school-sanctioned event on Fridays instead of going out and getting stupid every weekend. Adults who are throwing the fuel onto this debate here, I mean my lord.... What is wrong with small town Wisconsin?

I went to Sussex for one year, and played hockey in Milwaukee. Sussex has a great community and seems to be a great place to raise your kid. You realize what you are all fighting about? A student planting a flag at the 50 yd and flipping the falls student section off...we live in a country full of profane, to be honest, there are bigger issues going on in this country. It's safe to say Sussex is a great community, it's somewhere if I had kids I would place them at Hamilton. Plus all the kids at falls obviously can't find a party, so they come to ours. Enough said

You parents NEED to grow up!! Leave the rivalry to the High School students!!
