FARGO - Parents are calling for disciplinary action after heated exchanges between two schools.

Central Cass and Shanley football teams faced off Saturday for a shot at the state championship game but words by players, coaches and fans are causing drama long after the game is over.

This is all after Shanley made headlines last week when they were told they couldn't pray over the loudspeaker at a playoff game.

Central Cass player mom Caryn Weber reached out to WDAY about a profanity-filled Instagram conversation by a Shanley player after this weekend's football game.

“It was so offensive. It was so vulgar," Weber said. “The last work of his post is ‘you are beneath me.' To me, that was so far, light years away from what the Catholic teachings education would be."

Parents say that same player taunted the Central Cass crowd and when they had a coach talk to him, the actions continued. They even say a coach yelled at an opposing player on the field.

Some fans admit they did respond irresponsibly by confronting the player, and that’s prompting Central Cass to tackle the issue.

“We sent out an email and a written letter to all of our parents, essentially, everyone in our school district to talk about what's accepted," said Central Cass Activities Director Travis Lemar.

Lemar added that they also talked with the football players about their use of social media.

As for Shanley, it wouldn't comment on the allegations. However, the principal did respond to an email from Weber saying, "Thank you for sharing your perspective. I will handle the situation appropriately."

That response is what Weber and other parents hope will spark change.

“This could be a learning opportunity about the golden rule of treating people right,” Weber said.

Some Central Cass parents are calling for the Shanley student to sit out of this Friday's championship game because it breaks the school's code of conduct.

The Shanley principal did not return a call regarding school policies.

The North Dakota High School Activities Association says since no player or coach got kicked out of the game and the Instagram post happened afterwards, they have no authority over the situation. They say they’ve been in contact with both parties and that discipline is entirely up to the schools.
