[FMBball]

I agree with you Matman, you play to win every game. However, if you can learn from the non-district games and get better then not all is lost. I think the game lastnight SC found HEART! maybe late, but the team finally started to fight . Contrary to what the Franfort fans will say, the officiating was terrible. The officials didn't cause the 2 costly turnovers , and the outcome may not have changed but on the other hand it may. SC started getting the momentum the flags started, one examplehappened in the start of the 4th quarter SC moved the ball to the 25 of Frankfort and on 3rd and 5' SC running back Skyles takes the ball to the 4. but the flag was thrown all the way back at the 30 yard line for HOLDING on the wide receiver, 5 yards behind the line of scrimmage, to now make it 3rd and 15 from the 40! The Franfort D would illegally hit our linemen ( below the waist as a chop block on offense) and the lead blocker all night long and got flagged only once, and that call only came because of Hager running the same play 4 times in a row to show the side judge what Franfort was doing, but the side judge didn't make the call the white hat did and Hager went off on the side judge. The down marker holder on the chain gang then went after Hager and drew back on Hager and coaches got in between them to stop it from comming to blows. The down marker holder is an off duty state police officer , which he showed he is a very unprofesional state employee! He calls his fellow officers and needless to say, our Head Coach Hager was taken out of the locker room in front of the kids and his own children to be questioned . This is what Franfort has to offer the visiting teams, what a place. At least SC fans and parents had a police escort to their vehicles, and where the stadium is located most were happy to have the police present. The Franfort players played hard and deserve credit. If, the coaching staff teaches the illegal moves and techniques then they should banned. The next team that Frankfort plays will see the game film and see what Franfort was doing and maybe do it to Frankfort, and then maybe after loosing 3 lineman with knee injuries for these illegal tactics as SC did, maybe Franfort will stop!

Okay so your upset because an outside LB'er took out a lead block. The OLB is a buck-o-five. Your guys couldn't block him all night. Yes when he was flagged it was the correct call. He did cut him blew the knees. He isn't taught to cut the lead blocker, BUT he is taught to take out the lead blocker.

As for the officials The only reason you are upset because your team committed costly penalties. Watch some game film and you will see both teams got away with penalties.

As for the police I can't comment on what happend other than 2nd hand knowledge.

Bottom line Frankfort out played SC. Everyone can look and make excuse as to why the lost. But at the end of the day they are just excuses.

Good Luck to SC, they have some quality talent. Coach Hager is doing a good job.
