Maydo ran for 3 TDs but had 2 called back for penalties which didn't even have flags, one of which was a dead ball false start which wasn't blown dead, and which left the clock running at the end of the 1st half.
A great game, yes, but the officiating in it was terrible. I'm not saying it cost us the game, because Ashland was putting together a drive in the 3rd and some penalties I didn't see stopped their drive as well, I'm just saying that all the officials in tonight's game need a new prescription for their glasses.
Some highlights were Ashland's #3 catching a tremendous pass late to set up their last TD. Ashland's QB #7 is an amazing football player. Not only is he fast and has a great arm, but he runs hard and is difficult to bring down. The blitz on the last PAT had been a long time coming, as we'd run the same play 5 times in a row. Ashland kicked on their last regulation PAT when a 2 pointer would have locked a win for them.
Belfry had a flubbed snap on a PAT which might have won the game for us. Belfry ran the same 5 plays all night long. Maydo I believe carried the ball on over half of our plays. We played solid D but didn't respect their QB enough. For the most part our line blocked great, the only times we had problems up front were when Ashland blitzed. A lot of people are going to give Ryan crap for his fumbles tonight, but he can't help getting hit in the middle of a handoff. We need to work on how to block 6 men with 5 this week.
Sorry for being so pessimistic, but I saw a lot of mistakes from involved adults tonight. It was a very even matchup, a great game was played by the kids on BOTH teams, and all those boys deserve a pat on the back.
TBH though, come December, who won or lost this game won't matter one bit. We've found some chinks in our armor that we need to work on (as did Ashland, I'm sure), and I'm sure the coaches will live up to their "keep improving" philosophy this week as we gear up for Lawrence. I'd like to wish good luck to Ashland on the rest of the season, you boys played a great game, even though I was cheering against you 8 ) I've already chatted with our kids. If any of our boys see this, I love you all like my lil bros, and I'm proud as heck of how you played tonight!
