South Pittsburg vs Moore County (Moore man against that Smith man)

[TheAmbassador]

I laughed when the ref threw a flag and he kicked it on the ground and then got another flag for doing so lol

That was a funny one. Ref threw a flag, then the kid kicked it so he threw another one. That was a very ugly game to say the least. Glad it's over and on to the next round.

first of all congrats to the south pitt pirates, they are a very talented team.  Second, with out a doubt it was the worst officiated game I have seen in my nearly half century of watching football.  The referee group was out of the Clarksville area.  they seemed to be fine men but not good refs.  third, both sides played out of control and that  is never a good thing. fourth the game was much closer than the score indicated, south pitt can put three or four kids that most single a teams can very rarely match speed wise, however there defense was exposed, moore county had a tremendous amount of offense and kept the ball ten and a half minutes out of 12 in the third quarter and had a td called back and a pass dropped on the 2 yard line  at the very end the moore county team called and was granted a time out with 8 seconds left by the official to only be told as they huddled that they now did not have a timeout and the game was allowed to run out.  As I am sure the pirates are taught the moore county kids are taught to never stop fighting until the bitter end, it was not 55 that the penalty was thrown on and also what looked like kids shooting a bird was in fact the kids pointing at the clock running out after a time out was called and granted, many calls were missed on both sides.  good luck pirates the rest of the way and also good luck to a moore county team that battled through injuries throughout the season, congrats to a group of seniors who won 30 games during their career, one region championship, a perfect regular season and a # 1 ranking earlier this year.  no matter what many will say this game was not close to being a mercy ruled game, and the score does not in fact show just how close the game really was.  I am so glad that it was proved that no one involved in the south pitt program was involved in the destruction of marion county property, I for one never thought they were.  things have a weird way of happening over and over to the same people and no one seems to notice, south pitt is nothing but classy and have a tremendous amount of football history...good luck and kick tail

I agree on some things you say. 55 for MC is a fireball and plays with 200% every down no matter the score. 51 I think was pointing at the ref after the game an saying something to him but of course in in the stands and can't see exactly which finger or what he is saying. But either way the game is over. Without the penalties and the game getting out of control I don't think MC would have so called "exposed" SP's D. There are weakness just like any D. But I do think in a clean game no mistakes, SP mercy rules that MC bunch 9 out of 10 times. I will say this, your QB is good looking QB. Is he gonna play at the next level?

I do not know, he is a great kid and a hard worker, had a tremendous second half of the year, I do not think he has decided what to do, good luck to you all

Why would the ref throw a flag after the game? What could possibly you penalize a team for when their season is over?

Effective with the 2009 season, it will be illegal to grab the inside back or side collar of the runner's shoulder pads or jersey and subsequently pull the runner to the ground. The penalty will be 15 yards from the succeeding spot.

I agree and disagree with several points. When the game was at the point of 5 TDs to 1 TD it was in fact in danger of becoming a mercy rule. Moore County played hard and fought till the end.

I understand that but how does your Jersey gey yanked halfway off if its a horsecollar.. it cant.. you dont grab the Jersey in a HorseCollar.

It is a horse collar if you grab the inside neck of the shoulder pads or JERSEY. And pull the runner down sideways or backwards. That was a correct call
