Even worse than the call the ref made in the Blugrass and Shelby West game for pushing the pile was the subsequent call 2 plays later of a horse collar tackle/personal foul on Bluegrass. West was at the Bluegrass 12 yard line when this call was made on 3rd down. Instead of half the distance and a automatic first down they were assessed a 5 yard penalty and West was not given the automatic 1st down. The next play a pass was dropped in the endzone effectively ending Shelby West hopes of knotting the game up at 20-20. On the ensuing series a Shelby West player was called for a horse collar/personal foul and Bluegrass was given a automatic 1st down. The refs were horrible!!!! Now with all that said, Bluegrass has a great team and it would not surprise me to see them win the whole thing. They took care of business and won the game, the refs did not win it for them. If Shelby West had of tied the game they could have very well came back and scored immediately. They have that type of team, good quick athletes with size.
