CPA goose eggs Alcoa and silences the goons!

[OutlawJoseyWales]

maybe they should stay in 2A next year LOL

Alcoa will win the East and ND will be 2nd just like in 2014

Maybe or maybe not. It's no longer a certainty. But it doesn't matter, because at Alcoa, a silver ball is considered a failure (they can't even find them) based on what I have read from some of the posters.

Congrats to CPA for winning the Gold Ball. Now they need to move where they belong Div. 2.

Give it a break...

Let me start by saying this was a great game and both defenses played out of their minds. I enjoyed the atmosphere. Congrats to CPA on winning and capping the perfect season.

 

Now...............with that having been said:

 

CPA's FG call from 60 yards late in the game was dumb. I know that the goal was to kick it to the end one and give Alcoa the ball on the 20 but there was way too many issues that could have made that play a collapse of epic status.

 

Alcoa calling a jet sweep with 0:20 to go in the game and NO TIMEOUTS REMAINING was worse. They didn't give themselves a chance to win in the end.

That call shocked me as well.  Doesn't the ball go over to the other team at the line of scrimmage (as opposed to at the 20) if it goes into the end zone on a missed field goal  as in college and NFL?

No it goes to the 20 in high school.

And the kid had a legitimate chance of hitting it. Connected on a 53 yarder with no wind this year. And he had a 25 mph wind at his back. If he misses, Alcoa gets the ball on the 20. The biggest risk was bad snap or block.

In past years, CPA would attempt a ridiculous long FG just to kick it out of bounds and it was essentially a punt out of bounds and ball was placed where it went out.  That ruling may have changed, not sure.  I really don't think it was a dumb move.   It just didn't work out.

Rankin set offensive football back decades with that performance.
