Whether the kid has high emotions or not, acting the way he did was not acceptable. Palmer is a good kid, but acting that way is chidish. The way I look at it, the ref gave him more warnings then needed. He warned him from riding the side by side twice (called a stale mate twice after giving one point for doing the same move) before giving another point. I think the ref tried to let the kids decide the match, but he still went to the same side by side and did not try and do anything with it. He was lucky that he was not dinged for unsportsmanlike, or even ejected for that tantrum. I agree with jayhawk fan on those actions are what little kids do, which being a Senior, you should know how to carry yourself after a loss. Specially when a team state title is at stake, and your are on television representing your town/team.
