Then i may stand corrected. I thought Fort was still 1A. They just moved up recently though i think. Radford as well. Yeh but 2016 had 4 1A schools you're correct. But i still dont understand the post as i cant remember Richlands playing a 1A team in many years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swva_havok_fan 1,261 Report Share Posted September 28, 2019 To the folks who are acting like Trenton played the whole game tonight vs. Lee, you are incorrect. He had two carries in the first quarter and was out with cramping till midway through the second. At halftime he only had five carries and I believe he finished with only 10.

crazyFB 27 Report Share Posted September 28, 2019 You always hear other teams say Richlands cries when they lose. But I see now how true this really is. The call on the onside kick was the right call by the rule. It is up to the coach to know the rule of how many has to be on each side of the kicker. . CRY BABIES!!!!!!

Coach Mance said the best team won so kudos to him. He didn't even mention officiating in the interview, kept it classy. Gave Bluefield credit for shutting down their running game. Sage Webb is a tremendous player for Blues but Bluefield just has several tremendous players. They had too much strength and speed for Blues. End of story.

Excellent point that Greg Mance "kept it classy" in the post-game interview. He has always impressed me how he treats others with grace, respect, and dignity.

Optimal62 178 Report Share Posted September 28, 2019 I don't have a dog in this fight - although I have been around high school football for almost 30 years. The officials the past three years have been progressively worse. It really is becoming an issue as It is affecting game outcomes. The other night at GW vs Auburn, GW player strips the ball falls on it right in front of the line judge. The back judge who doesn't have a view of it says the fumble was caused by the ground, (although the ball carrier never went to the ground). The officials get confused somehow and discuss between themselves then decides to do a replay of down. Which lead to an Auburn TD a few plays later when it should of been GW ball. How does that even happen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWVsportsNUT 22 Report Share Posted September 28, 2019 17 hours ago, Ryan4VT said: Official ruling on the onside. White hat says we didn’t have 4 on one side of the ball. We did. And have proof that will be submitted to the WVSSAC. I was curious about what went down on the onside kick as well because we know the ball clearly went 10 yards. Looked at the rules and it states the following “Players on the kickoff team are no longer able to get a running start before the kick and players must be distributed evenly on either side of the kicker, five to his right and five to his left. So, I looked at some video and this is what I see on the play. Now clearly, I am no replay official but from the looks of things you can see that the side Levi kicked to has 6 players on that side. I am going to attach the image. Not trying to start anything at all either. Hopefully if anything this clears the call up. Best of luck to both teams going forward.

This picture seems to justify the officials call based on the rule you state. The rule you state says there has to be 5 players on each side of the kicker. This picture clearly shows there is not. It is also not clear whether #5 is actually on either side of the kicker. He could be ruled directly behind the kicker.

sup_rbeast 296 Report Share Posted September 28, 2019 If that is the rule, it’s worded badly. When kicking from the hash, you can’t evenly distribute players across the field and have 5 on each side of the kicker at the same time. Teams will end up putting 5 to the short side and kicking it in that direction...you won’t get the big bounce, but it will increase the odds of recovering the kick.

At the time the ball is kicked, at least four K players must be on each side of the kicker.” Excerpt From 2019 NFHS Football Rules Book NFHS https://books.apple.com/us/book/2019-nfhs-football-rules-book/id1464744219 This material may be protected by copyright. There are 4 on each side of Fle. 5 (Steele) is a step to his left. He’s lined up on the hash mark, the exact same way the player is on the opposite side. The ball is placed a foot inside the hash. It was a legal kick. Period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liam McPoyle 1,863 Report Share Posted September 29, 2019 The "five player rule" is an NFL rule. It was changed from four players at the start of the 2018 season.

It’s not particularly clear from the photograph posted that #5 (Steele) isn’t in fact lined up directly behind Forrest. That would be a valid procedure violation.

MrBigChest 3 Report Share Posted September 29, 2019 Ike with a cast on and JJ on the bench. You seen what happened when he got on the field. Richlands fan can never admit they’re the less talented team. I heard the tornadoes’ fans talking at the concession stand last season for the playoff game about how they was going to beat graham that day and the regular season game was a fluke. I lol’d Richlands coaching is good enough to make a game respectable for a short time but you can’t overcome a talent gap that big. Graham rolled both times last year because they was the more talented team. Just like bluefield last night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
