MC Rockets

My recap:
Quarter 1
TD called back on Vero 1st series was legit - definitely motion / illegal shift on Vero
Holding call  on MNW at 7:46 on 2nd drive looked legit - moved Vero to MNW 11
A few obvious jumps/offsides on Vero - 3 in one possession
Close call  around 6 min mark on a potential fumble ruled as incomplete pass - looked like right decision.
Lots of jumps overall, nothing seemed particularly out of order or one sided.
One questionable no-call PI on MNW around 5min mark. Looked like interference to me and from the commentators. 
Running into the kicker call on Bulls was legit. Defensive holding on Bulls soon after inconclusive due to being out of frame. Was 2nd defensive holding call on MNW DBs
Commentators seemed to think Bulls' DLine was leaning into neutral zone and not called
Vero Final Drive, late hit called against Bulls was legit - put Vero at the 3 and led to 1st score.
No overtly problematic calls Q1 as far as video showed. Some missed/uneven calls but nothing that would change the 6-0 outcome of the quarter. I can't tell about the two sideline warnings on MNW because both were out of frame.
 
Quarter 2
Personal foul against Vero for pulling helmet off Bull on a tackle WAS questionable. This call allowed MNW possession for a long drive that might have ended in a punt but ended in a score. Subsequent delay of game and illegal formation calls against bulls looked legit.
1st and goal for Bulls and sideline warning becomes penalty. Obviously this is third call against Bulls. Assume it was legit, but out of frame. Bulls score anyway: Bulls 7, Indians 6
Next possession, unsportsmanlike conduct called on MNW, late flag. No one seemed to know who it was on.
End of that series, pooch kick returned by Bulls for TD. Same offiicial throws flag just prior to returner entering endzone. Commentator initially agreed because he saw Vero player fall in front of MNW player at the spot of the flag - called it a "silly foul" to block the guy in the back like that after the returner had clearly beaten him.
Slow motion clearly showed that wasn't a block in the back. So 2nd commentator seemed to pivot in his comment away from this ruling and said, "must have been an illegal block" . So clearly commentators missed it, camera didn't show it. So the play was either out of frame (irrelevant to the play) or potentially a bad call.
Holding call on MNW was obvious
False start call on MNW punt actually helped them pinning Vero inside own 10.
Holding call at 3min mark on Vero legit according to commentators.
Roughing the passer on MNW QB was obvious. officials debated ball placement because it was a completion. Ball eventually placed correctly. Next play, Bulls score with 7 seconds left.
two separate delay of game calls on both sides evened out
Halftime: Bulls 13, Indians 6 
3rd quarter
Offsides called on Vero to start kickoff looked right (camera was zoomed in, but you could see helmet on botom of screen looked past line, but commentators complained).
1st series, Bulls jump, legit
MNW illegal procedure call hard to tell.
Personal foul (late hit) on Vero looked legit. Set up MNW inside Vero red zone
Bulls TD at 9:45 - flag thrown for holding #79 for MNW did indeed look to hold, saw Vero Dlineman #76 complain, had left arm under leg and turned sideways. So good call, even though QB had already rolled out.
MNW flagged for intentional grounding. Very late call. Momentum shifts back to Vero at this point.
MNW punt: Block in back on Vero Beach was apparent on the video, but commentators initially called confidently that MNW had illegal block. Didn't see it.
Very late flag (personal foul) against MNW - commentators seemed to be confused as to what it was for. Speculated that it was sideline warning again.
Vero commentator questioned where official placed ball after forward momentum by Bulls QB, but replay showed placement was correct.
Just prior to Vero score, MNW charged with 2 consecutive 12-men on the field calls. Legit. Just bad coaching there. Personal foul on Bulls during Vero TD is earned. Ejection because it was helmet to helmet and QB was already in end zone by 5 yards. Game tied at 13 w 3 min left in quarter
Last 20 seconds MNW called on some  defensive holding call that was unidentifiable by both the commentators and the camera.
4th quarter
1st series, #5 MNW safety called for personal foul with late flag. questionable. safety was falling, helmets contacted, but could have easily been a no call.
Next play defensive PI on Bulls, brings Indians to 1st and goal inside the Bulls 10. good call.
Bulls with 103 yard pick 6 TD. Holding call negates it. No camera angle on it. Commentators didn't see it either. Block was clearly no where near the play. Camera showed Bulls DB got a jump and beat all but two of his blockers. So block, if legit, was out of the play. I can see some concern here.
A couple plays later, Bulls false start. Close but good call.
Next play, big TD called back on Bulls 3 and 14. Flag was thrown earlier in backfield on screen play. Illegal procedure. Didn't see it, but probably legit. You can see frustration kicking in on Bull's side.
Penalty #30 on Bulls pins them inside their own 5.
Punt return for Vero flagged twice: illegal block on Vero, late hit on Bulls. 1st call good, late hit ok, commentator aid hit was 5 yards out of bounds, but camera showed it was closer than that and momentum forced. Could have been a no call. On same play, it appeared that the Vero receiver's knee touched the turf at the point of reception. Referees took a while to make the call. Penalties should have been of setting. 
eventually, zebras rule "knee was down" - then two dead ball fouls followed. Took several minutes to resume play.
Big run by Vero, holding call made. No evident on camera. Veros still maintain drive.
Bulls called for CB lining up in neutral zone
Bulled flagged late for Personal Foul in endzone (facemask). Could not see on camera but official was right there. Eventually called of setting penalties. Serious lack of discipline. Before next play, MNW calls timeout.
3rd and 1 inside the 5, MNW gets flagged for their THIRD 12-men on the field call. No excuses here. Vero 1st down at the Bulls 3 yard line. Two plays inside of the 3 and no score. Commentators are beside themselves. TD on 3rd down. Missed PAT with 2:25 in game
ensuing kickoff, obvious fair catch violation on Vero.
Bulls miss last best chance to win with open dropped ball by #2. Would have been TD.
Before next snap, MNW coaches called for being on field. Not visible but probably legit. - It was the 4th overall. Officials' decision took far too long to call.
Final 19-13
Overall, one score negated for Indians, 4 called back for Bulls. 2 of them were questionable, 2 weren't. Clearly, MNW is undiciplined, both on the field and on the sideline. But also clear, MNW has more talent overall. If they can get some discipline they are still looking as a contender come playoff time.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

STA with a win over SJB would start the season #2 behind Mater Dei. Assuming Central beats Gorman they would probably be #3, while SJB slides to the #4 spot with Gorman at 5. 

Well Central has Chaminade Madonna, Columbus and potentially American Heritage in the playoffs who's all ranked in the top 25 thus far.
St. Thomas has 

Miami Central matches up better with Gorman than CMD does. They beat them once at their place and they would have done it again if not for a miracle tipped kick at the line of scrimmage leading to the football hitting the goal post. And 2017 Central was good, but this MC team is going to be leaps and bounds ahead of both teams that played Gorman. 
 
If the possibility remains that Central gets blown away, then why even bother saying that they are the best team in Florida and top 5 nationally? If they want to hunt down Mater Dei and SJB for the MNC, then they have to beat Gorman by 17 or more to shake some sense into these fools at Calpreps and Maxpreps. Central knows this so they will bring it. They are not getting blown out, they will be winning. 

why are we in here acting like central hasnt beaten them people before & only lost by a field goal off the post last time. what are we really talkin about here? venice the only one with some sense. SFA had they best squad EVER & central was not that good 2019. the west & chaminade beat them boys that year. SJB got em but it was 35-12, not no crazy blowout & central travelled. Again we talking about super privates. We in here acting like central got everything to prove when they don’t, it’s just another game & they will dominate. 
Its been proven when a well oiled dade county machine get rolling its no stopping it. 4 straight rings aint for nothin

I’m talking about playoffs. but yeah I think Miami Central 2018 was STA’s last regular season home loss. 

I think central was there last home lost which was what 3 years ago 

Would be awesome to see Dillard break STA’s home winning streak. 

I’ll treat myself to Dubai if that happens lol

BG also lost in the last seconds to Mater Dei.  They are loaded.

You gotta remember that one of the biggest advantages teams like mater dei and SJB have is both pulling a lot of the top talent in Los Angeles metro area. It's not any different than Miami Central pulling a bunch of the top kids in Miami Dade. When you pull from such a good talent pool with very limited restrictions on transfers you get these super teams as a result

They could beat Bishop Gorman by 20 and some ranking services out there will keep SJB and Mater Dei at #1 unless they lose. Those rankings are more just opinion based and as much as I usually hate CFB preseason rankings because of it being highly inaccurate, at least those polls are crowd sourced with a ton of people, these rankings are highly inaccurate and are just one person's opinion and if they refuse to drop someone until they lose than they will keep a team higher than they deserve even if a team is outperforming others ahead of them. Plus since Florida doesn't report transfers unless they have paid close attention they have no clue how much talent Miami Central has stockpiled and will undervalue them significantly

That’s not good enough. Miami Central is seeking a national championship. So they have to beat Gorman by 17 or more and go completely unbeaten to prove to these ranking companies that they deserve the crown over someone named Saint John Bosco or Mater Dei. 

did you watch the game? central dominated the second half literally. they win that game regardless of that. that happened in the 3rd quarter

We see what IMG does to a lot of teams, even some national powers. If IMG is superior they find a way to pull ahead and put the other team down but they couldn't do it to Central

Even so IMG didn't exactly outplay Central in that game, if Central wasn't a very talented national powerhouse like IMG why couldn't IMG put them away?

Decent games and picks. I am mostly in agreement but have the following differences: 1. The MNW vs VB game will be a lot closer and I think 7 or less will be the margin of victory. I am not sure which team to pick given the game is at VB and the Bulls lost a key offensive player. 2. I believe Gorman will keep the Central game much closer, though I expect Central wins  3. I know Norland is loaded, but playing at Lakeland is always tough, and Polk officials are flag happy. I am going to take Lakeland by 1.

Last year the bucks had a down year after a mass exodus of players over the summer. Not sure how much they’re gonna bounce back this year but this should be a great test for Dillard to show where they’re located & if they will still be a contender or will it prove the amount of players lost knocked them down to the cellar. 
 
deerfield still has a very stout defense and I’m sure has some playmakers on the offensive side of the hall just waiting to make a name for themselves. 

There’s no way those were family decisions that would scream unfit parenting with ZERO foundation. 
 
sadly the parents today have no control the kids tell them what they’re doing , so if the kid makes it big later they can be one of the first ones to reap the financial benefits. 

It is sad, and it's not just high school sports. This behavior is reflected in so many walks of society.
