I thought I might've just misunderstood the way that penalty should've been enforced, or it wasn't marked off as much as it seemed, but they added 10 yards for a defensive holding call to the end of the play on the Danville pass late, right? Shouldn't that have been either the catch or the hold, or have I just got that wrong?

 

I'm familiar with that white hat, not sure if it was the same crew I'd seen him with in the past. Needless to say, this game was par for the course for him. Seemed they were quick to the flag on those unsportsmanlikes for both teams, as well.

No. You're correct. It should have been one or the other. You don't get to add 10 yards on after the play on a hold. Another time they had picked up their flag too early and started marking off the penalty a full 6 yards from where they should have. Not a good crew.

Danville played a much better game this time minus the turnovers. They had a chance to win it in the 4th quarter. The punting game played a huge part late in the game. Stayton had a couple of clutch punts to back the Admirals up and Danville had 2 really short ones to keep the play on their side of the field.

On another note: that was some of the strangest officiating that I've seen in a playoff game. Twice they marked off more yards that what should have been marked off on a penalty. Just bad all the way around.

Victory formation. 27-14 final. Somerset will play LCA next week.

First down Somerset. 1:44 to go.

Somerset was called for pass interference. The officials proceeded to mark off a 20 yard penalty. The Jumpers intercepted Thornton on the next pass and ran it back for a touchdown. However, holding was called on the return. The interception stands. Somerset's ball, under 2 minutes to go.

Danville goes 3 out. Another bad punt gives Somerset the ball at the Danville 31.

It was 2nd and 10. Somerset was called for illegal motion and Danville was called for another unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. They should have backed Somerset up 5 and then the 15 yard penalty would have given Somerset a 1st down. Instead it was 2nd and 3. They marked off the penalty from the wrong spot. Then Danville stopped them on 4th and 1. Horrible officiating.

Score and time?

Jase Bruner comes in for Miller and immediately picks up a first down.
