5A Championship - Knox Central vs Henry Co.

[FactsOnly]

Musings about the weather

1  Not sure how I feel about rescheduling a game for weather

2  The wind made for a miserable experience

3  Some older fellow, who seemed knowledgeable, said that when the flags are flying sideways, the wind is 30 mph

4  Neither team scored with the wind in their face.  HC won 9-0 running down wind, KC 14-0 running down wind

5  What is wind anyway?  I heard it is that warm areas make the air rise and other air rushes in to take it's place.  This wind was coming from the direction of the sun, so I dispute that hypothesis.

6  No disrespect to the older fellow and his wind theory, but when the sun is shining on a 74 degree day and you are freezing, there is too much wind and you don't need flags flying sideways to know that

Musings about referees

1  I think we had a touchdown that was missed (Harrod)

2  I think we had a blocked punt that was said to be "running into the kicker"

3  I counted 12 referees completely decked out in stripes and I think there were another dozen or so in disguise.  How many does it take?  We were way outnumbered

Musings about the referees and the wind

1  The referees missed our only successful trick play.  The one where we did the successful onside kick while pretending the wind blew it off the tee.  It got called back.  I'd protest the game on that one play alone

2  In is an enigma that the  wind was so strong that pretty good looking punts would blow back to the line of scrimmage but would allow the flags thrown by one of the dozen or so referees to stay in place so that could be picked up to use over and over again

Does anyone on here know how the postponement went down? I followed along on Twitter Saturday night. Was there ever any option/offer by the TSSAA to put the teams up in a hotel? Did they just say see you tomorrow at 2:00 Central Time? I heard Bernard Childress was out of pocket, because of a death in the family (which is very understandable). Who was running the show?

Musings about Knox Central

1  Best defensive line I've seen since 2011

2  More impressive with the wind at their back than facing the wind

3  How many times can one dude's helmet come off in one game and why did it make him so mad?

4  First band I've ever seen with no horns and they were very good despite

5  The secondary was as good as advertised

6  CONGRATULATIONS!  You earned it.

Alcoa was gonna move to 4A but all the local 4A teams decided to bump to 5A. If Alcoa moved to 5A, those teams would go back to 4A. 3A is much more competitive with those types of moves along with the size of region and travel times. Greeneville would have been a great game this year. Other than them, not so much. Y’all definitely don’t want Alcoa in 5A. Fact!!! Ask Catholic....

why don’t you go back to your alcoa thread and gop off this one? It’s a central/HC thread. we get it, you all beat maryville and think you hung the moon. move on. Christ.

I'll address some of your musings:

The band - the band director wouldn't allow the whole band to come back.  Funds??  I don't know, but they "allowed" the drumline to come.  Either way - proud of the kids that showed up

How many times can a helmet come off?  Good question - he claimed he was constantly getting pushed in the facemask and no call.  He also lost his temper and got a flag in the 3rd or 4th quarter for that same issue.

The "onside kick".  Nope.....as the kicker approached the ball, it started to fall forward off the tee, but the kicker continued with the kick anyway.  Correct call.

Your "score" in the endzone.  The HC player didn't have control of the ball when he was hit...and landed on the edge of the rear boundary.  Correct call.

Running into the kicker call - I disagreed and thought it should have been roughing the kicker.  But it is what it is.
