Really bad officiating. Vast majority went against West. Don't know who was trying to defend the no call on the TD pass to #85 to tie it, but that was the type of call that gets a ref banned from working again. Believe that the offsetting unsportsmanlike fouls were post possession, which means West should have kept the ball at least after the inadvertent whistle. Not to mention that there was a few TDs called back against West for holding. You could call holding on every single down of a high school football game. These guys wanted to be seen last night. Very very poor!

Thank god someone here has some sense. Penalties that happen after the play DONT AFFECT THE OUTCOME OF THE PLAY, only the placement of the ball. CHILDREN KNOW THAT for gods sake

Just want to go back a week. When Rhea County came to Oak Ridge, I was VERY impressed with the team, the coaches, and the fans. Class all the way around. And last night, I saw the same thing. I don't want my view of the officiating to take anything away from the effort of Rhea County.

 

BUT, anyone who tries to say "it was bad both ways" is just dead wrong! This game would not have been close without the zebras. No one can say the Rhea faithful had anything to do with the officiating. If this were college or pro game an investigation into a "fix" or manipulating the spread would be national news for weeks.

 

I would be very curious to see which games these guys called during the year and see if the favored team did poorly or the scores were much closer than expected.

I dvr'd the game. I'm sitting here laughing at this horrible officiating crew!! They shouldn't be able to ref a church softball game!!! Horrible!!! Way to go West Rebels y'all pulled off the upset of the year beating these clowns!!

And just to clarify, by "clowns" you are referring to the officials, not the Rhea County Eagles, correct?

Nothing against Rhea County at all , but I just finished watching this game that I had TiVoed last night , and I don't know how anyone could say those refs weren't extremely biased . Where in the world were they From ?? I'm not a West Fan , I will pull for them because I will pull for all the East TN teams , but how could any Rhea fan not agree that the Refs were terrible ??

I spoke to a guy that was on the crew for this game last night. He swears there was no home-cookin. He quoted Cam Brady '012.

    • And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…
    • Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads. 
    • Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.
    • After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time. 
    • Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure.
