The white hat guy had the Hulk Hogan look without the hulk. The block in the back looked like where the Oak Ridge player got knocked into the Powell guy, I'm sure the ref only caught the end of it out of the corner of his eye, seeing the Powell player falling with the OR guy right behind him. On the PI if the DB doesn't get his head around (looking for the ball) and has his hands in the receivers face, they are going to call it. I did think Powell was holding quite a bit, but only got called for it once. 

yes, the refs screw up PI all the time.  there is no rule against face guarding in high school.  The db doesn't have to even know where the ball is.  He can completely block the receivers vision with his hands as long as he doesn't touch the receiver.  The key is no contact.  The refs sometimes call PI if the db doesn't look for the ball.  But that is the wrong call.

Wow, we barely hung on. Great win for OR. Played unbelievable d in the first half, but Powell adjusted and found something running the ball in the second half. I was really impressed with our pass def

Good to see OR win. Makes me think that loss wasn’t too bad. They seem to figure things out later in the season, which makes no sense considering they have the talent to be top 5 in 5a to begin with.

Im 100% with you.For some reason HS refs just cant get it through their head that the rule is different.

Lol he does have the Hulk Hogan look without the hulk.If that is what the ref seen on the block in back then why are they so determined on throwing a flag unless they are sure.And what I hate more than any call is when it has nothing to do with the outcome of the play.I knew Preston was gone the second he picked it off.And OR cat is right about the PI rule.Either most HS refs forget the rule or just cant help themselves because it is so diff from what they watch on TV

100% agree. The rule plainly states there is no penalty for face guarding in high school but every time the DB doesn’t look back for the ball it’s almost automatic that they throw the flag. DPI is the most incorrectly called penalty in high school football. Whether they agree or disagree that’s the rule and that should be how it’s called. This should be brought up as a point of emphasis for officials next season.

High school football officiating started its decline in 2014. Sad really because it is a thankless job. But man is it atrocious right now.

      They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that.

      The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.

      I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.

      An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.

      All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game.
