Can someone explain how this is a TD?  Play starts at 14:30.   https://youtu.be/QYM1iRqZ5-E

Definitely wasn't a TD. He recovered the ball with a knee on the ground and to add insult to injury, he did a whole barrel roll before getting up to celebrate and signal that they were in possession of the ball. From that body language alone it showed that the player knew he was down. But good on the coaches and his teammates to tell him to run since the refs didn't blow the play dead after the recovery.

Definitely feel for those boys due to that fumble recovery being called a TD.

I know Tyga got hurt early in the game, were the others out or did they get hurt as well?

True with NW 1, 3, and Tyga out, it was a different game. And I got a lot of respect for that freshman receiver that moved to QB. He's a playmaker and future all start for the west. But even after that, this game could have gone either way multiple times. Explorers should have sealed it with at least 3 in with that turnover inside he 20. I know Coach Dunn was looking for 7 to put the game outta reach , but 4th and 10 on a hostile field? Our kicker could seal that easily. Take the 3.

We did have a starting cornerback and MLB out and an injured lineman did eventually play, and it showed. Our D gave up a lot in the middle. We should be up to 100% for homestead though, and it looks like we will need it.

NW is a solid team team without they top kids. I wish them the best against Central. They are gonna need all three of them injured boys if they want to have any chance. Then BTW. That's a crazy schedule. The Bulls might be 3-3 in a week and still better than 90% of the state.

That's what I'm sayin. I'm honestly not sure if it was. Stopped watching the highlights after that lol. I sure hope it wasn't.
