I thought the purpose of athletics was to mold young boys into men. So you condone breaking the rules?

I asked 64, after he made the statement that Williamsburg had 12 running clocks in 13 games; what happens in a tight game? When the pressure is on, how does your team respond?

We got the answer. Williamsburg was kicking field goals, or trying to, while Mayfield was scoring touchdowns. Mayfield had been there, done that, already. Mayfield had played from behind, and won many times during the year.

Williamsburg had talent to burn. Shelton and Lowrie made many outstanding catches in the game. Notice I said outstanding, not "lucky". But talent doesn't always win on the scoreboard.

The most talented teams don't always win. You have seconds, or split-seconds to react in a game. But football is a mental game too. There is a lot of time between plays, and on the sidelines, to think. Some players can block out the pressure, the adversity, and thrive. Some can't.

Golf has a famous saying: Drive for show, putt for dough. That describes this game. Williamsburg was fabulous between the 20's. But they couldn't finish. Mayfield's defense stopped them? Better coaching? Mentally ready? Able to handle the pressure? You decide.

I didn't realize you were such an arrogant @$$:flush:
