it was a good mix. We all know you cannot argue judgement calls. Such as a failed point after try. But the film shows the player was defiantly in, the side judge signaled a score. Then after the other bench came out and consulted the referee then ruling on the filed was changed. You make the call! The procedure calls were correct, they even reversed a bad call, when the pass was behind the line of scrimmage and they said illegal man down field. literally every pass the other team threw was either caught or was a defensive PI. But when our receiver was mugged, no call! Our QB was tackled so late out of bounds he almost hit the track! No call. I am not a sour apples guy, I call them like I see them. When we are wrong I admit it. The one sidedness did change at the end of the game. I feel they were tired of hearing all the complaints!
Toughest rivaly for Vero during the Billy Livings era was Merrit Island..... Had some classic matchups for the district championship, with 8-9 thousand people in attendance.
If I may piggyback on your excellent work, I would like to add some additional data. I looked at only District games to date (439 games). It is reasonable to assume that District games would be more competitive than non-District games, as teams are grouped into Districts based on geographic proximity and similar school enrollment size – the very basis of the current FHSAA classification system. The data, however, shows just the opposite. The average margin of victory in all District games to date is 28.4 points (over 4 touchdowns!). Only 28% of District games have been decided by 14 points or less. A shocking 41% of all District games have resulted in a running clock (35+ points). Clearly, the current FHSAA classification system does not promote competitive equity, and is an obvious place to start for reform if that is the goal. Otherwise, we can stick with the current system and endure a ridiculous number of mismatches and blowouts.
