Here’s the thing. One of the “laterals” on the play was very close to being forward. I couldn’t tell. If it was forward, that’s an illegal forward pass, a foul that carries with it a loss of down provision. A foul that includes loss of down does not extend the period. So, if there was a forward pass, the game should have been over.

Highland scored 103 pts. in 9 regular season games. And tonight they score 56 … and lose.

I’ll be spending this evening on the shores of Lake Maxinkuckee.

Turns out they weren’t by the same official. Each wing official had an IW.

Pretty sure active officials are not allowed to accept gifts from a team.

Drayk Bowen is an absolute stud. He’ll be a Butkus Finalist next year.

When I saw the title to this thread, I thought you were thanking Senior Citizens. I was about to say “you’re welcome.” But never mind.

I promise, I’ll get around to looking at that video. Were the IWs both by the same official? If not, I’m not sure whether that’s better … or worse.

On a given Friday night there are about 750 officials working high school games. They run the gamut from guys who watch video and do rules tests every week to the guys who don’t think about football until they get off work Friday afternoon … and everything in between. If you expect the caliber of officiating you see in the NFL or D-1, that’s on you for having unrealistic expectations.

Translation, please. 😂

Well, we (once again) vanquished the enemies of our blood yesterday. More reason for Lincoln Riley to whine about playing a B1G schedule, plus Notre Dame. Maybe we should let him win a couple to preserve the rivalry. Anyway, the jeweled shillelagh is in South Bend where it belongs.

The Eagles put a running clock on Moeller today.

You’re right. Can you imagine the inconsistency we would see from crew to crew at the high school level?

Sure. But I’m not drinking Zima under any circumstances.

I sent this post to Mr. Faulkens. What game was this?

Only one?

Penn strikes first. 80 yd. drive. 7-0 Penn over St. Joe 7:42 of the 1st.

If they continue playing like they are, that won’t be the case next year. Expect a whopping rise in ticket prices.

Yep, I checked. Carmel is farther north than Brownsburg by about 1/7 of a degree of latitude Carmel, Indiana: 39.98° North Brownsburg, Indiana: 39.84° North

I thought only the P/Ps did that sort of thing. 😂🤣😅

Is it a Hudl video? I’d love to see that play.

This is one of those times when you get to have a really satisfying conversation with the coach. He’ll say “They touched it before it went in the end zone and we recovered it!” And then you get to say, with a really sincere look on your face, ”Coach, you’re exactly right.” They always get this look on their face when they hear that, and you know they’re thinking “uh-oh, I think I just let everyone know that I’m ignorant of the rule.” I remember a conversation with a coach like that, and after I’d explained the rule to him, he looked at me and said “You just made that up!” 🤣😂😅

If the crew is on the ball … and they should be with a free kick from the 15 yd. line … they’ll get on the whistle as soon as the ball breaks the plane. That will reinforce that K has simply “recovered” a ball that was already dead.

Rule 10-2-4 ART. 4 . . . When two or more live-ball fouls (other than nonplayer or unsportsmanlike) are committed during the same down by the same team (multiple fouls), only one penalty may be enforced. The designated representative of the offended team may choose which one shall be administered, or all penalties may be declined. When a team commits a nonplayer or unsportsmanlike foul during that same down, it is administered from the succeeding spot as established by the acceptance or declination of the penalty for the other foul.
