Your state's high school football playoff system

We start basketball here tomorrow.
No fans in all classes til Jan. 28.

 

7A championship here last night. Thompson vs. Auburn. Thompson lost their QB (likely Mr. Football) in the second half. Auburn's defense shuts them down. Up 9 with just over a minute, Auburn goes victory formation three times, but they do it from the shotgun and lose yards three times. Thompson blocks the punt, scoop and score, extra point good. Onside kick recovered. Thompson's backup QB had only 86 yards for the half, Auburn played him tough - but he draws two long pass interference calls, and they hit a FG to win as time runs out.

Flat crazy.

 

I saw tweets about that. Oh my God. (Also, is DPI a spot foul in your location?)

 

I'm not big on high school ball but I think that it's a straight fifteen yards, no automatic first down. So the onsides is recovered midfieldish, plus two fifteen yarders.

FG was snapped from the 18.

What happened in the final 18 seconds at Bryant-Denny?

 

Ref had it coming/93devil

 

Here’s a longer version.

 

Team B won on Thursday, so they're 3-2 (.600) and clinched the playoffs. Even if Team A wins Friday, best they can do is 4-3 (.571).

And as I said, Team B didn't play the two best teams in the league and got no-contests instead of losses. And Team A beat Team B straight up.

Team A got screwed.

 

88's going to jail.

 

ahh gotcha

Edinburg football player tackles referee after game ejection | KVEO-TV

 

I was at a game in Salinas when a player punched a ref in the handshake line. Was in the phone with my editor and shouted there was a fight and I had to go.

Years later I learned the kid got expelled (kid wasn't in my coverage area so we didn't follow what happened). Didn't hear if he was arrested but he was royally fucked.

That was intense but my favorite kid got ejected story is a kid gets a red card and immediately flips off the ref. Ref is so flustered, he gives the kid a second red card. It took me years of googling to see if that was really a thing.

This kid is fucked. Did the game get called?
