A day later I still can't believe what I witnessed last night. Stratford's coaches, administrators, players and parents should be absolutely ashamed and embarrassed by their play last night. In all my years of watching football I have NEVER seen such a classless, cheap-shoting and dirty team. Routinely hitting after the whistle, ripping players' helmets off, roughing the kicker and punter two different times long after the ball was away, and many other instances of dirty, completely uncalled for late hits. Two separate times I watched a Stratford player PUNCH a Marshall County player (and neither time was a flag thrown) in the head/face. And several times the refs WATCHED THIS STUFF HAPPEN RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEM AND DIDN'T FLAG ANYTHING!!!!!!
Hats off to the Marshall County players and coaches for having a lot more class than Stratford and not being sucked into all the unsportsmanlike conduct. Again, Stratford should be absolutely ashamed of their performance.
