You’re wrong again! I was at the 5 yd line & saw the play right in front of me live! The SR player was stripped from behind & a WB player landed on the ball. I was 15 yds from the play!!!!!

Calm yo asx down boy & No he didn’t. Its clear as day he was down. Look I know you never touched a field in your life fam but The Ground cant make the player fumble. Refs was even discussing it. Their coaches said it. This was a robbery.

Well Geesh cribboi take a breath.Youre all upset here….. I was there. The only question the refs were going over was if he stepped out of bounds. If he did it woulda been SR Ball on the 3 yd line with 3 seconds. The ref following the play, right behind the runner made the call. I don’t care who said what. It happened right in front of me. If you look at the SR player laying on his stomach right by the play, he saw the whole thing & knew what happened before the final ruling.

It was a close call. Until they institute Replay it’ll always be subjective. The crazy thing is the QB for WB looked confused as to if he was gonna throw or run(they had a 4th down & 6 with 16 seconds remaining). He was barely hit & coughed up the ball. That’s on the coach.

SOUTHRIDE IS ABSOLUTELY ROBBED OF A CHANCE TO ADVANCE. REFS SHOULD BE ASHAMED & REPRIMANDED. TERRIBLE CALLS CAN NO LONGER CONTINUE TO STAND ESPECIALLY WITH SUCH STAKES ON THE LINE. WILD 

What are you talking about?

I wasn't talking to you, and since you didn't answer the question that I asked you previously. I suggest you staying out of this discussion know-it-all. Also, I thought that you weren't going to respond to me anymore, did you forget about that already, big shot?

I was able to catch it last night on a facebook live stream, cant seem to find it anymore.

But highlights below shows the crazy finish to a great game.

 

WB player never gave up chasing the SR player. SR 3 yds from an improbable win. Crazy ending

To these old eyes , it appeared the Southridge runner was losing control of the ball (stripped) before knees were on the ground ( 6:02 of ohs Vargus tape )  and fellow Southridge player recovered ball in the end zone ( TD? ). Mr Jambun, if what I think I saw was correct is that then a touchdown for Southridge ?  Question #2 if Boca player fell on ball in the end zone would that be a safety and 2 pts for Southridge ?  Anyway, that's a horrendous way to end a season. Play was Bang, Bang really hard to blame the ref unless the whole game calls were as one sided as the obnoxious  Pressbox homer.

I will have to look at the video and give my opinion. However, remember that it is not my place to second-guess and critique officials and officiating.

I believe that the officials made the correct call, a new force was created by the Southridge player running, possessing and then fumbling the football into the Boca end zone, so that player is responsible for the football, which became loose when fumbled by that player, going into the end zone. At that point, when the Boca player recovered the ball in the end zone, it becomes a touchback. If a Southridge player would have recovered the fumbled ball, then that would have been a touchdown for Southridge.

    • I think the argument is this:  if 'free adults are allowed to give gifts to poor kids who happen to be good at sports,' we move from an amateur environment into a professional environment.   Historically, high school sports, college sports and even the Olympics were reserved solely for amateur athletes.  Within the last couple of decades, the barriers for professionals started to erode for the Olympics.   You may recall that Jim Thorpe won gold medals in track in the 1912 Olympics, but was stripped of those medals because he had played minor league (or "semipro") baseball prior to participating in the Olympics.   Ultimately, those medals were restored a few years ago.  The USA Olympic basketball team used to be comprised only of college players.  Now, it's all pros (with one or two college stars).  Within the last 5-10 years, NIL changes have permitted college athletes to receive compensation. Before then, the rules in place for decades allowed college student-athletes to receive room, board and tuition.  The $100 post-game handshakes from alums in the locker room and brown paper bags filled with money - although they happened everywhere - were illegal (and arguably still are; they just don't happen as much because the athletes can receive money legally through NIL). The NIL world is quickly filtering down to the high school level.  However, the rules in most all states, and certainly in Florida, are rooted in the concept that only amateur athletes can compete in high school sports.   And if you allow athletes to receive gifts, or otherwise compensate them or their families, such athletes are no longer considered amateurs.   Simply put, the rules has always been that if you get compensated to do play a sport, you are considered a professional.  And professionals cannot participate in amateur sports.  Again, the rules in place (FHSAA Rules) are rooted in a clear distinction between amateur sports and professional sports.  There was a clear line that is slowly becoming more and more blurred. If you want the argument as to why the rule makes sense, I think it is this:   there is a certain beauty in amateur sports, knowing that everyone who is playing is playing for the love of the game and not for money.  Everything changes once you start compensating athletes.  As I have stated before, the concept of compensation is a slippery slope.  What do you allow and what don't you?   FHSAA rules prohibiting impermissible benefits were written before Uber even existed. But the rule is pretty clear:  if you give something to football players that you don't give to all other students, that's an impermissible benefit - especially if the benefit is given to entice a kid to come to your school.   If you allow schools/coaches/alums to compensate kids to play sports, then you take away the somewhat-level playing field.  And, over time, certain schools will dominate high school sports because they will have the financial wherewithal to attract the most talented athletes.  While this might be good for the handful of select, talented athletes, everyone else suffers.   I guess the real question is whether we just want to eliminate the distinction between amateur athletics and professional athletics altogether and simply allow the free-market system to play out for all athletes and all schools?  If you're inclined to answer this question with a "yes," I have only six words for you:  be careful what you wish for.   
    • Yes of course big shot, how dare anyone try to help some young man out with a generous offer from his own pocket! Did the new pinstripe suits arrive yet from Brooks Brothers, F. Lee Bailey, Clarence Darrow Jr?!  
    • ESPN quotes Bridgewater's Facebook post as follows:  "The suspension came from MNW and it's impossible to suspend someone who doesn't work for you.  So if im suspended from MNW im free to go to another school of my choice but IM NOT GOING ANYWHERE. "And if it comes down to it, I will volunteer from the bleachers like I used to in 2018 and 2019 when no one had a problem." Honestly, it seems like the guy has a bit of 'the rules don't apply to me' or 'I don't have to follow the rules' mentality. 
    • Yeah, where is Darter Blue? I didn't scare and chase him off like I did other posters, did I?!   
    • Yes it's true and the alumni president stepped down. From what I read the alumni president went downtown or wherever and said something. I don't know if Teddy rubbed someone the wrong way but this is what I read. But see here's the thing about this situation. Northwestern has a strong alumni and community support. Half if not all the politicians in politics graduated from Northwestern and local pastors. If this was such a big issue something should have been said way before now and I think because Teddy asked for donations this all came about. Teddy has the money to take care of these things but why should he go broke doing it.
