Today's bizarre high school football score

Especially when traffic is more outbound than inbound.

The shit I've put up with going up the Hershey Highway ...

 

These teams are in a second-round rematch this Friday.

 

Took an eight-man call-in last night for a state semifinal -- between archrivals no less -- that finished up 72-66.
Team A (the winning team) trailed by 22 with 8 1/2 minutes left, rallied to tie it at 58, then traded a couplee of quick touchdowns with Team B to make it 66-66 with under a minute left. Team A got the ball back with about 15 seconds left and wound up scoring on a 55-yard touchdown pass on the last play of the game -- and not a hail mary either; the receiver had to catch it and run about 25 yards to the end zone -- to win and punch its ticket to the state championship game.

Team A is in its first season of eight-man football after sucking for more than a decade as an 11-man team. It won one game last season and forfeited its finale because it didn't have enough players. It had won a total of seven games the past three seasons combined, and is 8-1 this year heading into the title game.
This ought to be a feel-good Disney movie in 2018 or so.

 

Early working title: "Eleven Minus Three Equals Fate."

 

Davidson Day 104, Harrells Christian 80 in North Carolina independent schools Division II semifinals two years ago. Teams combined for 1,641 yards. Davidson Day QB Will Grier threw for 837 yards and 10 TDs. Harrells tailback Russell Washington rushed for 438 yards and 8 TDs.

 

They should be well-rested, though, since they only played eight regular-season games, right?

 

Correct. And had a bye week the last week of the regular season. They'll need it, too, considering the team they're facing in the championship game has won 27 in a row and steamrolled damn near everybody they've played.

 

Ye Gods.
Sophomore QB throws for 782 and 10 TD. AND LOSE.

Meadville beats DuBois 107-90 in prep game

 

Aw.......a DB bump.
All apologies.
Carry on wayward son.

 

BUMP.

Texas 6-man.

High Island 123
Nueces Canyon 76

 

So when are we going to 4-man football?
