First off, Congrats to Pioneer. Pioneer was the better team tonight and controlled South Adams pass attack well for majority of the night with a good game plan.
With that said, these officials in tonight's game should never be able to ref this level again. Late in the fourth quarter with 5 minutes left, Pioneer is up 24-8 and forced to put. Pioneer punts and tackles the punt returner before the ball gets to him and they do not call a penalty. Chaos happens and South Adams tries to get on the ball thinking it touched the returner and pioneer recovers the ball. That play in itself is not the reason South Adams lost the game so don't think I'm saying that. Pioneer was winning tonight regardless of that missed call. But on principle, you can't miss that call at this level and continue to call games in the final four.
Thanks for listening to my TED talk and good luck to Pioneer and South Putnam next week
