As I said I do not know it would have impacted the outcome but there were several what I call "questionable or bad calls" just my opinion and the announcers as well. In the endzone you number 80 and our number 7 both were going up for a pass number 7 was in front in position and 80 knocked him out of the way before the pass arrived but I guess that was OK as well? Do not want to minimize your victory at all, I thought you outplayed us most of the night just expressing my opinion about some of what I thought were questionable or blown calls, my opinion only. And having the opportunity to see if again with slow motion helped confirm what I felt that night at the game. Good luck the rest of the season we will be rooting you on in the playoffs and we hope we both we be in Louisville.

 

That is incorrect. Detmer was going for the ball but the defender never established himself as a receiver. His back was turned to the ball the whole time. I admit that it looked to me that there was contact before the catch, but I'm not sure you will get a passs interference call when the defender never turns around to make an attempt at the ball. Maybe a ref can explain that one.

 

Regardless Dixie was well up on the Camels at that point. It's funny that in all your examples you never listed the intentional grounding call on Bricking in the second half. The kid made a purely veteran move to avoid a sack. For those who may have missed it, the ball was thrown at the feet of a receiver who was coming back to the ball, while the Dixie QB had been flushed outside of the tackle box . Granted the receiver was 10 yards away from the spot where the ball landed, but he was clearly Joey's intended target. Maybe a ref can also inform on that one. Are QB's aloud to throw the ball away to avoid a sack outside the tackle box?

How's Molony?

 

Aside from being sore, I would think he is ok. The injury happened at the end of the second quarter and he played the entire second half. I watched him come out with a noticeable hitch in his gitty up for the warmup, but never noticed it after that.

As a Camel fan, thought the only 2 questionable calls were of course the push off in then endzone. Also the onside kick may have only gone 8 yards before a dixie player touched it. Malony is a good running back, but i was more impressed with the running style of number 26 when he went in. Ran very hard and down hill.

No, that's another rules difference between highschool and NCAA/NFL.

 

In NFHS (highschool) rules, it is intentional grounding for a pass to be "intentionally thrown into an area not occupied by an eligible offensive receiver" and/or "A pass intentionally thrown incomplete to save loss of yardage or to conserve time".

Also the onside kick may have only gone 8 yards before a dixie player touched it.

 

From where I was sitting, the ball went 12 yards before it bounced up into the gut of Jett.

Actually I saw the replay of the game and the onside kick went 14 yds before being touched by the kicking team

Okay, the current bid is 14 yards. Do I hear 16...16...16? Do I hear 15....?

Congrats to Dixie on the continued momentmum and good luck to both teams in the playoffs. Everyone is 0-0 right now. :thumb:

Question

Why is a spike not a pentaly, is there a seperate rule to allow this?

I am not going to argue with you but the defender was turned around and looking at the pass and contact occured before the ball arrived. Look at the play again..and as far as the other play you mentioned, I did not mention that since it was a good call based on high school rules and I think that is what this was high school football.

Altough I believe you entirely, I just want to voice my disagreement with this rule. To do what Bricking did IMO was a smart football play. He had a reciever coming back towards him that the ball skipped of the ground to and hit. Has the rule always been such or is it just that it is being stressed more lately? I've seen this penalty called more then once in the last few years but don't really remember seeing it much before then.

Yes, it's legal by rule.

Dixie is playing their best football at the right time.

Without a doubt the Colonels are rolling right now, and hopefully takes some of that momentum into the playoffs.
