I so agree with you. I don't think they know what class is. I have never seen such bad officiating in my life. Granted the Cards were not playing like themselves but that game was horrible.

When their coach makes the comments that he makes about other teams, it is easy to see where the kids get it from.

Yes, I would agree with some of the bad officiating....but Bell got just as much if not a lot more. Merrick's extra point that was called no good.....was inside the upright...and then hooked left....called no good. Film shows otherwise. Also one of the kickoffs....the only one not a touchback.....was five yards deep in endzone.....and SC player was allowed to return it! It hurt you....he only got to fifteen! Bell'sfirst holding penalty was marked off for FIFTEEN yards. Some of these players in question...have played three years of varsity starts or more. Only one or two games that I can remember were there any incidents like you are describing. They are certainly not coached to do that. You don't win championships with "hot heads." Dudley knows that. Also SC is a fine team....but when your undefeated season begins to slip away in the fashion that it did.....they became frustrated and began to lose their cool. That's when all of a sudden "Bell players start playing dirty?" Makes no sense when you have that kind of lead. One good thing for SC especially...since Bell plays McCreary and SC plays Belfry in key matchup.....the impending ejections of some players that was waved off and unsportmanship called against both teams.....cancelling out play...and cooler heads prevailed....you certainly could not afford any players sitting out in your district contest as well next week. I will give them credit for that. The officials that called this game....as far as I know...I can never remember them being on Log Mountain before. Check the stats....and I believe that you will find that the team with the big lead...had most of the calls go against them. I think officiating was questionable at times, but certainly did not in any way effect the outcome or final score.
