First of all, we met some great people Friday night. We were sitting outside in the stands doing the broadcast and were seated around Sawyer Lovvorn’s family and Coach Tyre’s parents. They are quality folks, we had some fun, and they represent Cascade well. Also, Coach Geil is great! He goes out of his way to help a visiting media and it is certainly appreciated on our end. That’s what a high school game should be. Two teams playing hard and two fan bases that are passionate but respectful. Win or lose, you head back home and wait for next week and are thankful for friends made and experiences shared. That’s what you got Friday night, but I am also so frustrated at what we saw in the last three minutes I had to post. I waited to post this because I wanted to watch a replay again, but the no call on the spear in the last 3 minutes was inexcusable. If you as an official were even remotely paying attention to the action, there is no way you miss that. It’s a 7 point game with 3 minutes left and the trailing team has the ball threatening to score. Pay attention!! It’s not like it was a running clock. You should be glued to the game. The hit was was 2-3 seconds after the runner was down. Did that one play cost Forrest the game? No. We had other chances. It is however a shame that we as fans didn’t get to see what would have played out otherwise. Forrest goes from 1st and 10 from just outside the Cascade 10 still trailing by 7 if the penalty is called to 3rd and 19 after we get the unsportsmanlike for arguing the no call. Cascade played well and won but it would have been nice to see if the Rockets (1) score (2) go for two or kick the extra point after scoring (3) would Cascade have any time left to try and score to win in regulation and (4) what would an OT look like? We will never know and that’s what stinks about this whole situation. We were cheated out of the natural ending. 1 thing I do know however is that I am proud of the way the Rockets fought and that I hopefully made some new friends Friday. Whew! Done.
