It is very impressive what the Titusville Head Coach has done in turning the Terriers around, and making them a winning program again.

Calling an "unsportsmanlike conduct" penalty, after a player showed excitement in a non-taunting way, which was not only 15 yards but also a free timeout to CAI, is one thing they did. That penalty is probably the most frequently abused penalty by officials in Florida. You people have anointed yourselves to be dispensers of "lessons", and take that to absurd lengths. The idea that the field is "an extension of the classroom" has been utterly bastardized by officials.
The other major issue was the clock operator. Teams can't possibly field a kick, turn around and fall down with ZERO time going off the clock. If 1.9 seconds ran off, the game would've been over.
You have proven once again that you, like most other posters to this message board, are not qualified to rate or critique officials or officiating. I go back once again to the Jim Mora quote: "You really and truly don't know, you think that you know, but you don't know and you never will." Longtime Observer is a good message board name for you, because that is about all that you should be doing, Observing for a Longtime. Now, if we just just make it "Longtime Observer who keeps his mouth shut about things he knows nothing about."

Yes, three or four posts up I posted the link
I watched the video. I have no idea what happened at the end of the game with the officiating.

I agree with JamBun I believe it was APKnewsguy... Loved FlaVarsity back in the day. Some very knowledgeable posters. I think the last guy I talked to was Silver King... I know he posted here a few times but I had the feeling it wasn't the same for most of the posters from FV that came over here.
That message board still exists, but there is very limited participation. There are times when it is four or five days between posts, but I am very proud to be the 2022 Fla Varsity Message Board Poster of the Year!

I will see what I can find out over the next few days.
All of the network high school football highlight shows mentioned the passing. That really speaks to the effect that the man had.

haha. Here's a recap:
After trailing 33-14 in the 4th, CAI was down 33-27, Riverview stopped CAI on 4th down with 1:11 to go. CAI had two timeouts left. Riverview fumbled on 1st down at CAI 33 with 1:01 left. CAI proceeded to go 4 and out. Riverview took over at the CAI 33 with about 40 seconds left. They took a knee. In celebration, a Riverview player did a backflip. An unsportsmanlike like conduct penalty was thrown and the clock stopped. Officials seem confused and delay the game- par for the course in Florida HSFB. Riverview takes another knee. CAI takes a timeout. CAI announcer wonders why they took the timeout given the game was decided. More delay, confusion and arguing. With some defenders facing the sidelines, Riverview takes another knee. CAI wisely copies STA and charges the QB with no contact. More delay, confusion and arguing. Stadium announcer says he thinks” CAI took a timeout. More delays, confusion and arguing. No announcement of any kind by officials. 4th down is forced. Riverview runs back 33 yards to take a safety with 1.8 seconds left. Riverview squibs the kickoff, CAI catches it takes a step and falls down at the Riverview 36. clock does not run AT ALL. CAI throws a Hail Mary on the last play to win.
Is there a video of this game that can be viewed?

Oh, lord, did you really just question the officiating? Without referencing the specific plays in question by quarter, down-and-distance, and time-stamp? And without providing your resume or C.V. to establish your qualifications to form an opinion on something so inherently difficult to understand as officiating?
Well, I think we all know how this one's going to play out.
You got something right for a change, Perspective.

John Peery,
Former editor of the local weekly Apopka Chief, passed away today. John wrote all of the sports articles in the Chief, and was always on the sidelines of Apopka football games. And though he retired a year ago, he continued to write his articles and cover Apopka football from the sidelines. We last exchanged pleasantries at the Pancake Supper and Pep Rally before the Edgewater game three weeks ago. I ragged on him a bit for picking Edgewater to win by 7 points and suggested that the Darters could pull the game off. Little did either of us know the shellacking we were about to take.
Last Friday John was on the sidelines when our kicker nailed a 43 yard field goal to win as time expired in dramatic fashion. John, who was am ample man, literally leapt for joy.
Though I don't count myself as a personal friend, for the past 25 years, his weekly articles have been a staple in my life.
I am sure all Apopka fans will agree with me that John was the epitome of what it meant to be a Blue Darter. John graduated in the class of 1973, and his daughter graduated from Apopka several years after my two boys did over a decade ago.
I don't know if John ever posted on this message board, but he used to post on the old Florida Varsity Football Central board back in the day.
In addition to Apopka football, John was an ardent fan of Tennessee football.
He will be greatly missed.
What was his screen name on the Fla Varsity Football Central message board?

Okay man, we will agree to disagree on this one. You spout on about my lack of facts (fair enough) but you don't throw any facts out yourself to defend them. Simply having a great football team doesn't make the school legit either. I find them highly suspect based upon circumstances of extremely small enrollment and sudden investment in football but on the other hand they aren't any different than IMG which most folks seem okay with.
As far as F rated schools, that is a completely different topic based upon public school funding and local neighborhood socioeconomics. In fact, public money (via vouchers) going to these private schools is money that could be flowing into these F rated schools. At least I agree with you here in that this needs to be addressed. It's a tough solution and I don't really know how to fix it because it is much deeper than simply throwing money at the problem.
Your post makes no sense.

The level of legitimacy you place on them is simply an opinion that can’t be corroborated with facts. If the way they attract kids to the school is something you find unorthodox then it just means you don’t agree with it or understand it, but that doesn’t make it illegitimate.
You know what is illegitimate? An F rated failing public school with a high drop out rate and barely any kids going to college.
These are great points. I am not sure why grown adults are so threatened by these arrangements, especially since these teams cannot compete for FHSAA playoffs and no FHSAA team is required to play them.

Nobody is rating or critiquing the officiating or officials. And as far as those "comedians" they are actually officials themselves and some fans. As far as the "jokes", it's the officiating from the Cocoa-STA game with the officiating organization apologizing for the obvious mistakes made in that game. And the comparison to the CCA-Titusville game where CCA clearly scored with everyone at the game, the broadcast crew and players seeing that their player crossed the goal line on first effort and then the defender pushed the runner backwards and knocking the ball out. That turned to Titusville marching 95 yards down the field and scoring the winning points last second for the win. Even the brevard broadcasting crew stated that CCA player was in the endzone for the final nail in the coffin.
There is no excuse for what happened in the Cocoa-STA game. The Cocoa Tigers won that game in my not-matters and nobody-cares view. I am not familiar with what happened in the Titusville-CCA game. Could you provide some more information, or is there a link or video to view what happened? Thank you.

Thanks and figured that. But the one that got him ejected was a claim that he cursed but there's video evidence showing that wasn't the case
I would like to find out what specifically happened on the sideline to cause the ejection. It would be good information to know for any future situations or incidents.

You may be, or may not be more qualified than anyone on this board, but either way you really need to get over yourself. Coaches make mistakes (ask Cristobal) and referees, being HUMAN, do as well. If you are unwilling to concede that, you are absolutely delusional.
And no one needs your stamp of crotchety approval.
High School Football Officials make mistakes every game and there has never been a perfectly officiated game in football since the Rutgers-Princeton game in November 1869. There is no maybe, I AM the most qualified poster on this message board on the subject of High School Football Officials and Officiating.

Well i was a male stripper and know more about exposing than anyone on this board so please leave the exposing stuff up to me.
That is interesting, because I have been asked by many women if I am a male stripper, and if not would I ever consider it.

Question, did you watch the Canes Gt game last night? & if so how do you feel about the fumble(not a fumble) that was reviewed & still stood? egregious and nationally televised Referee mistake. Do you feel highschool refs are above this ?
I didn't watch the game, but I saw the highlight. Are you asking if I think that High School Football Officials are perfect and never make mistakes? No I don't. Do I think that the vast majority of posters to this message board are qualified to rate and critique High School Football Officials? No I don't.

The nerve of people coming on a board like this and expecting to give their opinion.
"Opinions" are fine and what makes the message board great. When posters to this message board comment on a subject the very few of them no anything about, such as officials and officiating, I choose to challenge and expose them. I like to read and learn from many other posters who are more knowledgeable than I am on many other subjects. I am the most knowledgeable poster on this message board when it comes to the subject of officials and officiating by far.

Do you know the man? How do you know he is not qualified?
I know because the man can't offer answer a basic question when asked about officials or officiating. That is true of just about every poster to this message board though, so no surprise at all.

Then keep your "opinions" of the officials or officiating to yourself, because you, similar to the vast majority of posters to this message board, are not qualified to rate or critique officials or officiating.
