[Colonel Kill]

I am an official and i saw the game. The officials that called this game got everything right. The play where #45 got his arm broke was on a south floyd touchdown which was called back. The flag was laying right beside the kid while he was lying on the ground. And for the person that thinks the officials got the interception wrong, you need to look at a rule book. Log on to khsaa.org, there you will find rule books on kentucky football. If any official lets an interception from the endzone be returned for a touchdown needs to retake the officials test because the rule states that once the ball crosses the plane of the goal line and is recovered by the defense weather it is a fumble or interception it is called a touchback. Thank you to the football fans that uderstand most of the rules. And for the ones that dont you need to study up on them. Remember that Kentucky high school football is different than that of college and nfl, the rules are different. So next time before you run your mouth about something you dont know about think about the situation and see if you understand it. They are not there to screw the kids, they are there to make a game fair.

I watched this game on tv. I absolutley agree the officials got the call right where #45 got his arm broke. The SF back was 20-30 yards down field going in for the score and there was no reason and no place in football for a hit like that so far from the play. I wish #45 all the best in his recovery, he is one heck of an athlete. It is very sad to see a kids season and who knows maybe career be ended in such manner.

On a lighter note, I do disagree with you on the interception being called a touchback. The officials blew this call and if you where or are an official maybe you should retake the test. I have been in football for many years playing, officiating and coaching and I do have many rule books as there are several for KY HS football. Rule 8-5-3(d) states If Team A(offensive team) pass is the force which causes the ball to cross in the goalline, then an interception by B(defensive team) IF the ball BECOMES DEAD in the endzone, the result is a touchback. Team B MAY RUN THE BALL OUT of the endzone or may DOWN IT in the endzone. If Team B fummbles in the endzone and Team A recovers in the endzone, it is a touchdown for Team A. I think this rule clearly states the ball is live in the endzone until the defensive player takes a knee or is tackled in the endzone. The ball is live with a return possible. The officials may have got most calls right but they did miss this call.
