I wasn't at the game but I was at the Knox game when knox scored a td on a long pass, which was called back very late due to ineligible man down field. A knox fan got on the referee and he threw a 15yd penalty against knox. The refs then proceeded to call three more consecutive penalties that had knox inside the 20 after a td facing third and 40+. But they punted and stopped whitley to go into the half with an 8-6 lead. Knox came out rolling in the second half and went on to win 22-6 in a game that wasnt that close. Knox thoroughly dominated the second half running all over the colonels.

So basically it wouldn't surprise me if whitley co refs may have tried to help the colonels along. Not saying their team or coaches are responsible but this seems questionable that it has happened twice. Everyone expects to get some bad calls on the road but it can get excessive at times.

Rich was you at the Whitley - Knox game at Barbourville, if so you should be ashamed to talk refs, your own coachs had to argue with the ref on a blocked punt call, Whitley blocked the punt and Knox fell on the ball behind the line of scrimmage and he tried to give the ball back to Knox. After a 15 minute delay and everyone from both sides trying to explain he gave Whitley the ball. The second play of the game another ref wanted to eject our coach. We had our first TD called back,by the other ref and a 10 minute delay again. But we didn't get on here and blame it on the refs did we.
