I believe that is what most officials would say why they officiate. To give back to the sport, and stay involved with football.

Not especially, and I don't like to criticize or critique game officials. However, from the limited point-of-view of the video, I noticed more contact from the slot receiver than #10.

Yes, aknenn, that is absolutely correct. I wish you all the best in your officiating career.

Skyway, are you sure the foul was called on #10, and not the slot receiver?

HornetFan, that is not entirely accurate. Player Safety fouls are always penalties wherever that occur on the field of play, end zone, or sideline. However, many judgment call type of fouls such as holding, OPI, or DPI, are not usually called unless these fouls have a direct effect on the play. Most Head Coaches agree with this reasoning, and it behooves most Officials to try to limit fouls to the absolute necessary with the obvious exception of player safety fouls.

If the snap was a little high, the holder has some leeway to take his knee off the ground to retrieve the ball, and then get back on his knee to place the ball for the kicker. If the snap is normal, and the holder fumbles the ball, and gets off his knee, then the play would be dead immediately if the holder put his knee back on the ground.

Holding, if the foul is not at the point-of-attack, motion, and delay of game fouls can be judgment calls. However, Personal Fouls, Chop Blocks, and Offside, if the foul is encroachment, are NOT judgment calls. These type of fouls are Player Safety fouls, and need to be called regardless of the score or status of the game. No official however should be looking to be seen or noticed. This game is about the players only. Not the officials or the coaches.

Proseteye, what types of fouls were most frequently called by the officials in this game?

The instance of Daytona Beach Mainland was that the talent was always there, but there was a lot of apathy, and most of the kids in that area had to work. When Doug Stanley became the Head Coach in 1989, he was able to go into the community, talk to employers, and get the talented kids to play football. Mainland was a sleeping giant until that point. Dan in Daytona would be able to expound on this point.

Thank you for answering my questions Legion37, LakelandGator and Skyway.

Skyway, what problem did you have with the hurdling call in the state title game? I viewed the game on youtube, but I don't remember that specific call.

Legion37, how do you feel that the officials stopped Lakeland and the running clock.

TRAJAN01, thank you for this information, but could you tell me what type of offense Madison County runs? Are they predominately a running team? Do they play with any sort of tempo? Do they run a no-huddle? What type of defense do they run? Thank you again.

TRAJAN01, is there any more information that you could possibly provide about Madison County? Thank you.

Peezy is a great addition. He is a solid, stand-up man, who always adds a lot.

These scrimmages are similar to the officiating clinics that the FHSAA used to request of officials to be able to officiate the playoffs. The scrimmages are a great help.

Finding good young quality men and women who are willing to put the time and effort in to be an official is huge problem right now in the state of Florida. There is a shortage of officials across all sports in high school. The problem is very acute in football however.

I know that there is a semi-pro team, the Magic City Bulls. The Bulls have Northwestern blue and gold colors and logo. I know that a lot of former Northwestern players play for the team, and the team owners are affiliated with the high school. I wonder if any former Central Rockets would be welcomed onto the team, and of so, would those players be comfortable wearing the Bulls blue and gold? lol

I get the feeling that there is a lot of mutual respect between Northwestern and Central players and fans.

Yes I know. Thanks to you for posting the video on this message board however.

OldSchoolLion, thank you very much for posting this game. I will never forget attending this game as a High School Senior with most of our football team. We were sitting on the Southeast side, and I remember very well the cockiness of the Seminole fans turning to nervousness as Daunte Culpepper lead the Knights down the field, especially his scramble on fourth and 17 I believe for a first down. Also, the joy when the Vanguard kicker missed the field goal at the end of the game. It was a great experience.

Glen Ridge, New Jersey is where the sexual assault of the mentally disabled teenager by several football players was covered up by the town powers-that-be. There was a movie starring Ally Sheedy and Eric Stoltz made about that incident.

No problem. I had heard from somewhere that that game was extremely well-officiated despite the 63-0 score.

OldSchoolLion, are you sure that the Bolles-Umatilla game was in 2013, not 2014?

I believe that I remember reading an interesting story about Alonzo Highsmith in Jimmy Johnson's autobiography. When Alonzo was very young, his parents enrolled him in the Florida Pre-Paid College program. Of course, when Highsmith received an athletic scholarship from U of M, he didn't need that money for collage anymore. His parents were refunded the money, and bought Alonzo a nice car. Now, the geniuses at the NCAA just had to get curious, and just had to investigate. Mr. and Mrs. Highsmith and U of M had to waste time and money defending themselves from this ridiculous "organization" and their fake manufactured outrage.
