Did they measure or just eye ball?

Just eye ball. The refs were over their heads tonight especially the glory hound in the back. Again they did not cost newcath the game turnovers did. I just fear that this crew will impact a close meaningful game in a negative way.

Is there a rule not to measure anymore? I know they never measure at the Birds games. If it's close they just give the offense the first down. I don't like it at all..

Not a bad showing for a 2A school, they will be there at the end of the year.

Nope not at all. Even though the score was bad I feel great about what I saw with the exception of the fumbles. Once they clean that up and get Tallon back they will make some noise. This is their best team since 2005

Ryle forced a bunch of TO's and had 3 TD's including a 75-yard TD run by Elliott brought back by penalty. They will continue to get better. NC has a good chance to win out and take 2A in my opinion. It was a bit of a flag fest.

Ryle now has 4 starters out due to injury but I think only 2 are lost for the season. Good depth in Union fortunately. Hopefully, NC can avoid the injury bug and win 2A.

I did not see the hold on Elliot's last TD. Again over their heads

There is no need to measure at fields such as Ryle and Highlands due to the fact that they are turf. It is a very easy call considering all the lines are even unlike other schools that are painted by and eye instead of a machine. The 5 of 7 4th downs converted were not hard to see that they were first downs.

Sounds like the game went about the way I thought it would. Good effort by the Breds, just too good of a running attack from Ryle.

You are correct, my friend.

I would say 4 of 7. I wasn't arguing those. I'm arguing that that crew will get a big district game and be waaaay too intstrumental in it.

The stats don't tell the story of the game. If you didn't watch it on NKYsports, do so. If not I'll recap a bit.

1st quarter:

Ryle came out flinging it. The first play of the game looked like a four verical route that was a quick hitter to the slot receiver. That went for about 40. Ryle then went run/pass, run/pass until they got to 3rd and five from wherever. Hempel then threw a fade to the back corner of the end zone that the receiver made an amazing catch on. NewCath got the ball back and picked up a first. They then got to fourth and inches and made an extremely gutsy call (that I loved by the way) and went for it at Ryle's 38. They fumbled the QB/RB exchange and Ryle recovered. (I hope that that player is ok.) NewCath's D did pretty well to get Ryle to 4th down, but Elliot busted it around the left end. 14-0. NewCath took the momentum of a great kick off return by Dylan Hayes to score a few plays later 14-7. Ryle then started to move the ball pretty well, but Hempel was intercepted by Hitchew who took it back about 40 yards. NewCath ran the got some yards and the quarter ended. In the opening of the second quarter, NewCath faced a 3rd and long. Hitchew's pass was controversially intercepted. I say that b/c no official wanted to make the call on the diving interception b/c it was unclear whether it hit the ground Amazingly they all deferred to the man with the worst view of the play, the back judge (who again was a glory hound) After this play, Ryle decided that it was time to stop being cute. They did complete a 3rd down pass for about 18, but other than that it was running the ball. Ryle held the ball for about 8 minutes. They converted about 4 fourth downs on the drive. That drive was the game winner. 20-7. NewCath got the ball back but couldn't score. The second half was uuuuugggglllllyyyy. NewCath had 3 more turnovers, not including the failed fourth down conversion. Ryle scored once more in the second half and that was that. Overall there's about a 2 TD difference b/n the teams. NewCath came out to play, as did Ryle. Ryle just didn't make mistakes, NewCath did and in the end that was the difference.
