16th region officiating is bad, very bad.  This is compounded by the fact that they have an unwritten but strictly followed modus operandi. .

If you are two programs of equal “respect” playing within the 16th, you will get their “best effort”.  A game involving one more highly respected program vs an underdog; all close calls go to the “better program”.  If you are out
of region, you’d better not “drop the soap”!!!


Sadly, a lot of those guys were NOT great athletes.  But they try to have relevance by pleasuring the top tier programs; getting good end-of-the-season ratings and a couple playoff games; and “hanging out” with the AD’s and coaches and behaving like they are in a frat.

Is it like that in other regions?

It’s even worse in other sports.  I know you guys like to give Raceland grief about getting calls but when we play other 16th region schools in all sports they really don’t like us and to win against those teams we have to be significantly better.
