Game played at Boonville tonight. With GS up 19-0 at the end of the 1st quarter, the ref continued not to stop the clock after 1st downs. Starting in the 2nd quarter he signaled the clock to run through change of possessions. After a series in the 2nd quarter, he ran it on penalties and then on incompletions. GS scored at the end of the 2nd quarter to make it 34-0 at half. The second half he treated it as the mercy rule and ran it the clock through out of bounds and incompletions. He even yelled "Really" at the GS crowd for complaining. Boonville's clock operator told GS's video guy that this ref does this at every game he does at Boonville. These kids rode a bus 40 minutes and only get to play 6 games this season due to CoVid. Let them play full games the way the rules are intended. If this ref doesn't want to be out there then he should quit. This isn't making either team better.
