One thing is for sure......this is going to be our coldest game of the year, so bundle up. We have been quite lucky so far with weather but the daytime high Friday is supposed to be in the upper 40s which of course doesn't sound bad. But it is going to be quite windy and you can imagine how that will feel after dark. They are even calling for a chance of light snow Thursday night but it will be over by Friday morning with no more expected.

That wind may affect the passing game of both teams, but since both prefer to run the ball, that might not be much of a factor.

Huguenot did the exact same thing, except they brought their players from Life Christian Academy.

But if the 6C teams boycott won’t they just push Hayfield to state semis. This situation is out of hand.

I am sure that you want me to drop it or ignore it so it can go away, but that is not going to happen. Stuarts Draft has lost before, will lose again, and will win again. All those will happen against Riverheads as well.

This goes beyond the results of a football game. WAY beyond. If the score had been reversed with 2 minutes left, you wouldn't have heard a peep out of me, and if you had it would have been congratulations. The Riverheads team played a great game, and showed why they are regarded as one of the best programs in the state, no matter the size. And the coaches also did a great job adjusting from the 1st game.

The only thing I will say about social media is that for the most part it hasn't improved society in general, as I am sure you would agree, judging by a post before the game Friday.

I will answer one part of your message directly though. Saying it happens/doesn't happen other places. I have admitted that it could ABSOLUTELY happen anywhere (yes even SD), I am not pointing it out because of 1 PLAY though. If you can't see that it happening 6 times on ONE POSSESSION is cause for concern, then it doesn't matter if I showed you every piece of evidence available, you would talk around it. Again, SIX TIMES. If you are ok with that, then make sure if it happens at Strasburg this week or in the future don't say a word.

But back to subject at hand, and maybe putting it in your arena may help you understand a bit more. IIRC you are a wrestling coach. So exactly how would you feel if this happened to one of your players (I dunno what else you would call them). You are at a big tournament, heck say regionals for argument sake, and with all the different mats they use tappers. At the end of 1st period, there is a takedown and the tapper is 5 seconds late which results in extra back points. 2nd period, tapper is 3 seconds late and there is a reversal. End of 3rd period tapper is 4 seconds late and there is an escape. The 3rd period ends with match tied 12-12. Overtime comes and there is no scoring, until the referee adds 7 seconds and then the opposing wrestler scores. So the other wrestler got a bunch of points directly because of those errors, and now your wrestler is eliminated from moving to states.

Exactly how would you feel?
