  1. NCC did a great job to finish their season but I think you would have needed a crystal ball to know that they would have finished as state champs at the midseason point. Sometimes in the playoffs it's who you play, where you play,injuries and how your team has come together. NCC did a great job.

     

     

     

    I agree to the fact some teams have a easier ride in the playoffs.But I would argue no team in 1A had a tougher road Than NCC. Also NCC played a very tough schedule that gave them that 2-5 record and I am glad they did. They learned to never give up as a result of it. I believe if they were 13-0 with a cake schedule they might not be state champs.

  2. IMO, it was clearly a block in the side, not a block in the back. For there to be a block in the back, the initial contact must be in the opponent's back, inside the shoulders, below the helmet and above the waist. Basically, in the numbers. A block in the side does not constitute a block in the back. Nor is it considered clipping. It makes no difference where the blocker's head is located either. With regard to the catch in the end zone, I will defer to the judgment of the official who made the call. He had to make that call in a split second. That's the human element that we have to deal with in a game. High school games do not have the benefit of instant replay.

     

    I talked to Michael today and he said Danville was the cleanest team he has ever played against. One of the coaches for Danville met him by his locker room and congradulated him and also said he was a great player. That really meant alot to him. Daville is without a doubt one of the most classy teams he has played against.

  3. Ankle injury that occurred at the end of a run.

     

    The play was Vickars running the ball and he initially was stopped but twisted free and nearly broke it when he was tripped up. As he was rolling on the ground in the clear a Somerset player hit him late and drew the 15 yard penalty. But as far as I could see that hit did not cause the injury as that was nearer to the head thus drawing the penalty. He did not return after that.

     

    I talked with him and that late hit did cause the injury. The other kid did hit him high (actually helmet to helmet) but Michaels foot was planted under him and it bent his leg back behind him. I thought it was his ankle also but it is not.
