I am sure it was easy to see rewinding it 6x, lol. Sounds like you are right the knee might have been down. The concern , if you were at the game, was during the play the refs made no arm motions and we did not hear the whistle due to excitement and shouting, but even several people on the side lines did not hear a whistle either. So the play went on. It was obvious that it took the refs time to figure out where the ball was and exactly what happened lol. So they had to make a guess about it. There had been earlier bad calls and ball placement. That is why it was questioned so much. Any team would have some concerns about the call. It's over and done. As I had said yesterday HC out played us and we had and missed several opportunities. We are very young and will be fine. Wish HC the best next week against Danville.

Well to continue to rehash my many statements, of course it's possible they blew the whistle even though we didn't hear it. But people watching online agree they didnt hear it. The ref runs in but no official hand signals. So again, at best it's a controversial call. I agree with a guy who said earlier they didn't see it but made the call to try and make both teams happy.

I agree, NCC did not play well. No I wouldn't want a win on a bad call. HC played hard and in the end they got the he W. Tough loss for NCC. But we are young and will be back next yr.

They did out play us. Good luck!

Up for debate, no whistle no arm signals declaring it dead.

Not rhetorical , trying to the keep up with everyone quoting me. I have said it enough times, at best it was a questionable call. Too many people some not NCC fans saw it the same way. Was his knee down? It didn't look like it, but no whistle so he played the ball. Yes the ref ran in looking for ball. No hand signals declaring dead ball. Was the call right? It seems tainted due to timeline, and late call. No I would not want to win on a bogus call. My point AGAIN is IF a ref did not see the players knee down and call the ball dead, he can't just guess or think he was down. He ran to the middle of the field and realized the ball was in to help endzone.

Well put it this way, the ball wasnt called dead. Only after the ball was in the end zone did they make a decision. That is the point.

Lots of mixed reviews, we all have our own perspective. Again I do not have a child playing but I know what I saw and heard or didn't hear. We can all agree to disagree. I would NOT want our team to win at any cost. That was a very unfair judgement. But the truth is people are saying on video knee down but no whistle or refs running in with arm signals. Freppon in end zone before they decide and call back. At game did not hear whistle during fumble or before he was in end zone. So IF they got the call right it was still a very questionable time line, exchange and decision. If a Ref didnt see a knee down and didn't call the play dead, then isn't the ball still live? Still playable? At best questionable decision.

Again no whistle blew before Freppon was in end zone. So maybe blew the whistle when they decided to change the call?

Agreed! But very upsetting call on a guess.

No my point was the refs missed the play. They can't guess or assume his knee was down. They had to see it. They didn't even know where the ball was. It was in the end zone. I don't have a kid playing, and I understand controversial calls happen, but it's really upsetting in the play off season in a super close game.

That is up for debate. Very few people heard a whistle. They had no clue where the ball was.

I agree they didn't play well, but the refs never saw the play Freppon in the end zone with the ball and they had no idea where the ball was. So we are suppose to believe they saw his knee down? Don't think so dude. I can take losing, I cant take crappy calls and more crappy calls. Several bad ball placements. The list goes on.

I understand they didn't play well. But don't tell me HC fans wouldn't be raising hell if it were the other way. Some of the best games come down to the last min. No whistle, no idea where the ball was. Apparently was looking at something else.

So our kids are out of luck because the refs didn't do their job.
