The statistician is a parent. His son is a starter on both the 7th and 8th grade teams. I'm not condoning his behavior by any means but the frustration started with the 7th grade game. I do know that he's been around sports his whole life and is pretty easy going. I never see him show any real emotion when his kids are playing whether he's in the stands or keeping stats and I've seen his kids make some huge plays over the years.

As far as the 7th grade game, Clay is the better team and didn't need any help from the officials. The officials let the game get out of hand as far as fouls and cheap shots. There were even some Clay parents behind my wife commenting on some of the "football plays" by Clay. My kid has some nice bruises to show for his time in the game.

The poor officiating was not only just about fouls that were or were not called during the three games. It was just overall poor officiating by refs that aren't certified.
