Thank you.

If there is any message board poster who could provide any information about either Lake Brantley or Bartram Trail, that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

When and how did he pass?

No. When my school traveled to Lakeland, the game was over by the fourth quarter. lol

That means that you were there with He Hate Me, and the other running back who had the big afro. I think that his last names was Worlds or something like that. My school made the trip to Bryant Stadium in 1994.

Mainland has a new Head Coach now, and very few seniors. The Buccaneers are very young, and will only improve in the next few years I believe.

Not really. I just periodically check that other message board, and I noticed Silver King's post from last Saturday. Dan, are you attending Mainland games this year?

All right, thank you. Silver King, could you make a rough outline of what you discussed on the other message board? I know that you felt that there were too many fouls being called, and were worried about the lack of officials. Did I miss anything?

I noticed that Silver King started a post about officiating on the other message board, and if he is till around on this message board, I would like to respond to some of his points and questions. Thank you.

Perspective, if the hold, which is not a player safety foul, is clearly away from the play and there is no possibility of the defender affecting the play, that should not be a penalty. There is nothing in the rule book that permits or allows an official to "ignore' an action, that is similar to an unwritten rule. However, most good Head Coaches will understand, if not agree with, the fact that a "hold" in that circumstance will not result in a foul. Of course, player safety fouls are to be penalties regardless of where they occur on the field of play or the end zone. Officials usually will tell a Head Coach, Assistant Coaches do NOT need to be speaking to officials, that he/she will watch and keep on eye on holding and other potential fouls in the future. Coaches have every right to question rules interpretations, but not judgment calls on non-player safety fouls like holding.

Officials are damned if they do, damned if they don't. The shortage of officials in high school football is becoming a very serious problem, and some reforms are needed or they might some trouble down the road into the future.

Yes.

Are you considering becoming an official?

The newspaper shouldn't be insinuating anything. The writer most likely doesn't have the knowledge or the authority to know what a "bad" call is anyway. Most non-officials don't either.

Do you want an autograph?

When did Bill Buchalter pass away? Larry Blustein is still covering High School Football. I have seen him on the Under the Lights show that Josh Wilson also appears on, along with several other regional commentators.

Perspective, Clarence Darrow, F Lee Bailey, and Perry Mason would be proud of of you for this great post. I would like to think that my point-of-view is finally wearing off on you, and making you smarter, but your brains are shining through regardless. I might even have that autograph for you, if a few posters from the message board get together for a meal in the near future!

Are you saying that the intercepting player was ruled to be out of bounds, but never stepped out of bounds?

Thank you Jullian.

SubZero, how did the officials take away a touchdown before halftime?

I try not to break the rules. That toilet paper of a "Newspaper" in Daytona Beach gets me going though.

Is that how it is going to be Dan? You can dish it out, but cannot take it?

That is incorrect. The Head Coach whose team is leading by 35 or more points has no say in when the running clock is implemented. You might be right about the first half though not being mandatory unless the trailing coach requests it.

Thank you. The Head Coach can send in the film of that situation to the Officials Association for clarification and an explanation if that is indeed what happened.

Is there any chance that Pat Rice's career as editor of the rag of a newspaper in Daytona Beach is heading for extinction?
