Post scores and your observations on the championship games here, as they happen. Here’s my view from the pressbox as we wait for the 2A game to start: Adams Central vs. Linton-Stockton.

[Bobref]

Jets take advantage of a Linton turnover deep in their own territory on the game’s opening drive. 6-0 Adams Central. 10:00 of the 1st.

I believe it is only pay for view on the Ihsaa web site.

[Bobref]

Miners open the 2nd half with a score to make it 19-6. But Adams Central answers immediately with a long drive. 25-6 AC 3:19 3rd period.

[Rodney]

What a play by 82 from ac

[Bobref]

Linton throws their 3rd pick of the game … all in their own territory. AC makes them pay immediately. AC 32 Linton 6 2:09 of the 3rd period.

[Komets2727]

Adams Central laying the hammer down so far, 32-6. So much for Rodney’s prediction earlier in the year that the South would sweep the North

[JQWL]

Are there different touchback rules for the state finals?

AC with their 4th interception, again in Linton territory. 1st play down to the 1 yd. line. TD. AC 39 Linton 6 0:55 of the 3rd.

That was not a touchback, as the kick was possessed in the field of play, and the runner’s own momentum carried the ball into the end zone. If you watched carefully, you’d have seen the referee drop a beanbag at the 1 yd. line to mark a possible “momentum” spot, indicating that is where the kick was possessed.

I'm sitting in the endzone. I did see the marker thrown. Looked like the ball crossed the plane. I'm not the only one sitting here and thought the same.

4 INT's by Linton, 39-6  Jets having their way

The guy with the best view in the house disagreed.

Jets punch in another to make it 46-6. Remember, no Mercy Rule timing in the State Finals. Why you ask? It screws up the schedule for commercials on the broadcasts.

No input on the play as I've already left to start my consumption before the 4a game, but the best seat in the house is in the endzone.

 

Real football is played between the tackles people, and the only way to truly observe it is from the endzone

As a side note, in the press box you might as well be watching the game from the international space station

We have some pretty good monitors up here.

Not for ruling on that play.

There's a whole football game in front of you, you can watch a tv at home

Will concede I haven't even read the post about what the play is about

 

Also remove the mercy rule all together, a team that's 200 points better should win by 200 points
