i bet! Hey comish, tell him to pull somebody in the way of fairness, please! :roul
Can't do that to him. He had a heart breaker of a season ending playoff game last night. The way fate works, his team ended up facing the team they lost to during the season which took the conference championship from his team with that win. In his four year high school "career", they had never beaten this team.
So last night they played at the away venue. From the kick off, they rammed the ball down the bad guys throats and scored. Thing of beauty. The rest of the game was hard fought back and forth. The boy's team made a couple huge turn-overs which gave the other guys the lead in the end.
So it's fourth quarter and they are down by 7. Less than 2 minutes, no timeouts. They drive to the 8 yard line. Now it's less than a minute. Can't run as there are no timeouts. On fourth and goal, they complete a pass for the score. Ref signal TD. Everyone goes nuts. Then another ref runs across the field and signals no catch...he was out of bounds. He overrules the ref that was on the call, 20 yards closer.
I know all these kids and the one who caught the pass well. I could tell from his reaction and body language he made the catch. No BS. It honestly didn't even look like there would be a question of him being in play. To say the call sucked is an understatement. My kid is crushed. He's a senior so it ends here for him. You can't win 'em all but at least let the players determine the outcome, you know.
So roll over, Jake. The kid needs a break.
