91-0 is nothing we had a 96-0 score here in Ohio

Beechcroft got by Centenial in a Columbus City League contest.

This is crazy!! First off to score 91 points is absolutely nuts! I didn't know that was a multiple of 7 either....Secondly, to score 13 TD's on 31 plays is pretty efficient! Especially, with the best players on the sidelines most of the game.

 

The only advice I can give to Estero, is get a better team! Also, maybe keep Naples off the schedule from here on out!

I have been on the losing end of a game like this. Anyone remember in 2006 when Male managed to "eek" out 80 points against Iroquois? I remember the next Monday a call in show host blasting Male for an obvious display unsportsmanlike behavior. Having coached on that Iroquois team, I know first hand that Male had nothing to do it...when they say "It wasnt so much what they did right as much as what we did wrong", they mean it. Bob Redman is a dear friend of the family and he apologized after the game. I told him not to worry about it because there is no question that if he wanted to put up another 30 points he could have.

When you cant tackle a QB who runs around scrambling for 12-15 seconds and then scampers 80 yards for a TD, you tend to get beat by a large margin (imagine what it was like trying to tackle Beaumont and the rest). Even their JV and Freshmen players were difficult to tackle. Sometimes, things go completely wrong and it IS a train wreck to watch. But our kids kept playing hard, knowing they were going up against a superior team. I remember Male getting booed by their own fans when they had a 1st and 10 from their own 35 and he kicked a field goal (and missed).

I say this to illustrate what another poster mentioned: the score alone doesnt tell what really happened. Its a hard pill to swallow but its one of those games where you can actually just move on the next week. It sounds like the coaches did and the winning coach felt worse about it than the losing coach. If you dont coach or play in a game like that, then your judgment means nothing.

It would be totally different if Male had lined up for an onside kick ahead 50-0 and then throw a deep pass (with all starters still in the game) for the sheer purpose of padding stats and kicking a team when they are down (which also happened my first year at Iroquois against Western). So there is a BIG difference between those two types of coaches. These scores happen sometimes. Many times, no one means for it to happen...it just does. Life will go on until the next team racks up 100 points on someone.

A few years back, didn't Pendleton County beat an Eastern KY school by 90 some odd points? Letcher County? I can't remember! :irked:

They should've said, "Bob Schneider would've scored 60 on this team..."

I think just this past weekend Bell Co. scored 44 or 45 in the 1st quarter on 4 offensive plays. You can't pass judgement by looking at the score. All the kids on the roster work to wear that jersey and should have the oppurtunity to play and play hard.

For some fans, too much is never enough. Here's a quote from a thread about a recent game:

 

"I know everyone is going to say "They won by 54!" That's not the point. The point is, the refs must call a fair game on both sides of the ball and there was a clear block in the back right in front of the ref among other calls that should have been called against (the losing team) that weren't. If I were (the head coach of the winning team), I would write a formal complaint to the KHSAA. At one point, it was like 5 penalties in a row (to help the losing team) get inside the 5 yard line.

 

I guess life ain't always fair when you only win by 54.

Thats nothing compared to the record in kentucky someone scored 250+ points in one game back in 1927.

You are taking that post way out of context when you use it to support the "too much is never enough" comment. That post, made by a knowledgeable football fan from Highlands, was made to support his belief that the refs missed some calls. I didn't post on that issue but he's definitely right about some bad calls being made. And you know what, I was okay with the calls because I think the refs were trying to make sure the game didn't get more out of hand and that they wanted Scott to feel the joy of scoring. Heck, I was actually rooting for Scott to score (sorry Highlands players :laugh:) so I was okay with the, lets shall we say, phantom face masks and missed blocks in the back. Others will disagree with me and fairly say the refs shouldn't let those considerations affect their calls, and the poster you quoted no doubt is one of those people. But he definitely does not fall into the "too much is never enough" category.

I'm sure that there is a tendency among the refs to "bury" the flag pretty deep when a game is out of hand. Safety fouls, however, have to be called regardless of the score. I know numerous officials, and I can't name one who would purposely inject himself or herself into a game to make sure that a team scores. I could be wrong. Have you seen the film?

Sure; multiple times. And again, I'm okay with what I think the refs did (subconsciously or not). I don't think they failed to call any "safety fouls" and I don't think they necessarily tried to allow a team to score. But you and I both know there is a lot of subjective judgment that goes into making some calls and I think its only human nature that you give a team the benefit of the doubt when they are losing bad (which I am totally fine with). You may disagree and heck you may be totally right about that. I just don't have any problem with it if it does happen. And the real point of my post was not in any way to criticize refs (I'm one of the last people that will do that because I truly appreciate their contributions to high school athletics) even when they do miss a call.

 

And they do occassionally miss calls and most of them will own up to it. Case in point. When we played Colerain, towards the end of the game, Roller went up high between two defenders; one in front and one behind him. He out jumped them and when he came down with the ball on their one yard line, he was on top of the defender that had been behind him. Other than his feet, his body never touched the ground. He quickly and in one motion as he was laying on top of the defender, stretched the ball over the goal line. The ref said he was down at the 1. I was standing in the endzone and calmly said in a normal speaking voice: "Hey ref, the reciever was never down because he was on top of the defender". Fortunately, the Birds scored on the next play. As the teams were taking the field for the subsequent kick off, he walked over to me and said: "you were right. I blew that call". I said "no worry we eventually scored". He said that didn't matter and that he was upset that he blew the call. I appreciated him taking responsibility for the blown call and I think he appreciated that I wasn't yelling and screaming at him for missing the call. Heck of a nice guy.

 

The point of my first post in this thread was to simply point out that the post quoted was not in the context of "too much is never enough". Hope we're good.

Smarty pants (but you may be right).:laugh:
