The 2nd defeat in 2004 was BS and anybody around knew it. Bell was up 14-0 with the yellow flags and terrible calls started. P'burg first score was set up by a catch made 10 feet out of bounds.

I typically don't say much about the officals b/c I belive they are just plain bad and not cheating. The ones at P'burg were making their feelings very obvious. THEY WERE CHEATING. Terrible spots on and phantom holding calls lead to Bell punting more in that game than they did the entire season COMBINED. Call Mr. Tacket at KHSAA and see what he says about the 2004 game film. :dontthink

Sour grapes makes for mighty good whine....

Bell's biggest problem in that game was the fact that Pburg was getting a 3 yard surge on the LOS every play.

I will agree that there was an inordinate ammount of total penalties (Pburg was penalized a ton that game too), but the difference in that game was the fact Pburg was more physical, controlled the LOS, and outhit Bell.

That loss was the best thing to happen to Bell that year though as they regrouped an improved immensely by the end of the season, as evidence in their controversial loss against Highlands.
