Great game indeed. Talk about a game of extreme momentum shifts!!! Danville played with a lot of heart, but just couldn't stem the tide in the 4th quarter. Even though Danville, reeled off 27 straight points, I still felt NCC was truly the best team on the field tonight. They had an excellent offensive line and did a good job of mixing the pass with the run. Though it was a heartbreaker to lose a 17 point lead in one quarter, it was still a very fun game to watch. All in all a superb show from two superb teams.:thumb:

Ah, yeah, but only according to the KHSAA, Not on the field or in district court! Hey, we can only fight them were they are willing to play us!:flame:

Great game by NCC, worked really hard all year. Congrats.

On rule # 2 the ball was touched! I have heard that the coaches have already been watching it on film and the ball was clearly blocked!

 

Wrong! It was a good call! :argue:

I can't believe that after going to the game and watching and shivering through it that I am sitting here at 3:00 in the morning listening to the radio replay . I got more goosebumps listening to their call on Vicars' last touchdown than I did sitting there in the cold and watching it live .

13, actually ... :lol:
