Thomas had a phenomenal outing though which isn’t surprising. They looked like a team that is super talented that hasn’t played in 3 weeks.

Unfortunately, that’s happening to a lot of teams. It’s hard when a team has limited practice & no games but it didn’t affect Thomas. He had a great game.

It was the worst officiated game in the first half, blatant calls against VA High. There are so many kids going both ways, that they got extremely tired on the line in the second half. Spotswood was gashing off tackle in the second half. Glad to see VA High fight through adversity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pass downfield. Picked off, but they call DPI. DB argues with the official and gets an unsportsmanlike. Officials place the ball at the +20. Timeout Ridgeview to argue (and rightfully so, that spot was so wrong it wasn’t even funny). After timeout, they move the ball alllll the way back to the -40. That’s not right either. After another discussion, the pick the ball back up and move it alllll the way back up to the +25. That also wasn’t right. Should have been Richlands ball on the RV 35, not the 25. Took them like 8 minutes to do all of that — and still get it wrong. That crew was… atrocious to say the least. FoxTrot and V-Cats 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The have a lot of speed all over the place and the QB can sling it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took them like 8 minutes to do all of that — and still get it wrong. That crew was… atrocious to say the least. Come on out and join us then Ryan if they were that atrocious. All crews make mistakes, they're human. That one was a simple miscommunication, since the chain crew and moved the chain clip moved during all of that chaos, no one could get the original spot. And in the midst of all that chaos, no one can recall the play before that. The penalty was assessed from the spot of the foul to begin with, which was wrong. It's dead ball, then proceeding spot on the sequence of fouls called. It genuinely humors me that we HAVE to be life and death perfect under every circumstance. That crew called a pretty good ball game outside of that sequence. Fact of the matter is, it affected the outcome of the game absolutely zero, Richlands still couldn't score. No one likes us, we get it, but it's comments like those that it glaringly obvious why we have a hard time retaining and recruiting officials. Both calls were there, the assessment got jumbled. To this day, no one has ever officiated a perfect game. redtiger and Gridiron60 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
