Jordan's red card rescinded ...

Heath soccer player Brock Jordan, whose controversial red card left the Pirates playing a man down for much of the second half of their loss to Henderson County in the state quarterfinals, will not have to serve the mandatory one-game suspension that accompanies the card.

The Kentucky High School Association, according to Heath coach Mark Madison, ruled that the call was in error and that Jordan will not to have to miss the first match of next season.

We explained Jordan's situation back in October and included a link to a video of the play in question that was posted on YouTube. The video clearly showed that Jordan was thrown to the ground by a Henderson player, yet Jordan was the only player assessed a card.
