    Simeon Sues

    No sane football official shows up to watch a game with his stripes on, whether he was coming from a youth game or not. YOU DON’T WEAR YOUR STRIPES, The game officials, I’m sure, thought he he was a complete tool/insane for doing so. Regarding Facebook comments, I’m sure the IHSA will do the...

    Officials question

    You are correct that he can’t impede the progress of receiver to the ball, but in your example, the defender owns the space under his own feet.

    Simeon v Naz Live Updates

    As I mentioned before, Irish LB, this is all on coach (whether you agree with his call r not). You can tell Simeon was expecting to get the ball in the endzone on the dive play and only the dive play. If you look at the defensive front for Nazareth, they only had 7 in the box, so odds were in...

    Simeon v Naz Live Updates

    Let’s set the record straight as to what happened at the end of the game. Simeon has ball 2nd and goal from the 2 yd line. Simeon calls their last time out with 14.5 seconds left. They run a dive play that gets stuffed and the ball is being marked, time expires. This is not on the refs. The...

    Officials question

    Moving, as in "forward" before the snap? That's a foul and should be called every time. Moving, as in being 2 yards behind the line of scrimmage, and only 1 player going parallel or away from the line of scrimmage? That is legal.

Marengo gets opening kickoff and the runs 3 straight times into the teeth of the 8-man front. Result: 4th...

    Ref Question

    If the facemask started in bounds and continued out of bounds, you have a live ball foul. If the facemask occurred completely out of bounds, you have a dead ball foul. It’s important to know WHEN the foul occurred because it is enforced differently at the end of a half and the end of the game...

    Montini 21-Sycamore 14.

    Was at game and Sycamore gave Montini all they could handle with basic, off-tackle, up-da-gut, smash mouth football. Sycamore line big and tough. Montini had the speed and had great run decisions by their QB. That was the difference. Notes: Officiating was very good, Sycamore traveled well...
