They were already going at it when the ball was in the air.

So even the coaches are complaining and speaking trash. So sad. Maybe if they had spent more time in the second half coaching rather that worrying about what happened in the first half, Rhea County would have not been in the position to tie the game.

The mystery whistle on the interception six was irrelevant. There were penalties on that play that would have nullified whatever happened on the play. Get over it already. I have not seen so much whining by supporters of a team that won in my life. If your team had lost, then complain but this complaining when your team won it just plain arrogant. The game was close in the end not because of the referees but because one team decided they were not going down without a fight and played to win in the 2nd half. That is what you all are really mad about - the game ended close and made West look very beatable.

And Marshall is a much better player than your number 5. You number 5 is fast but I could have ran through some of those holes and I am really slow.

Not saying either number 11 was innocent. They were at each other all night. The penalties nullified the play as they should have. Some keep pointing to that as being relevant to the outcome. It wasn't.

What you all fail to recognize or admit is that while the interception call was not the correct call - the play had to be replayed due to the offsetting penalties. And yes there was a penalty - it happened right in front of us on the Rhea sideline and the penalty was the correct call. So if you want to blame anyone for that missed opportunity - blame West player number 11 for choosing a bad time to pick a fight not the refs. I agree the officiating was bad and both sides are complaining about it. Unfortunately it is taking away from what was good game on both sides - West in the first half and the great comeback by the Eagles to tie the game.

Hillsboro needs to pass and pass and pass.

Go Hillsboro!

I'm not from Peabody but my niece in law has family there - so for her - Go Peabody!

I have been following this site for a long time and never saw the need to post. One would think West lost the game by how much some of you are complaining. Maybe the camera didn't catch the penalties, but there were obvious penalties on the big plays you all are referring to that should have and did nullify the plays. So it would have not been 35 or 42 to zero at the half. And you should be thankful it wasn't just 14. The calls on those plays were the correct ones. These refs were not from the area. They were actually from an area closer to Knoxville. 85 is an end not a tackle. May have been one of those strange alignments with the wing T because he has never lined up as a tackle. You all are also assuming that Rhea would not have scored anyway. We would have. I've seen that look in the eyes of the team - they believed at that point - if there had been enough time at the end - we would still be playing football. Why are you all complaining? Is it just too hard to accept that Rhea County outplayed West in the second half and West didn't get the blow out you all had predicted and hoped for? One final thought - loved how Rhea County did not back down from the challenge and kicked off to West with no worry if the ball went into the end zone or not.
