FINAL: Manchester 70 Hermitage 0 (called in the second quarter due to lighting after a delay)
- Thread starter pizzzzza
- Start date
On a rainy night in the Richmond area, the only thing that could stop the No. 2 Lancers was the rain, as visiting Manchester moved to 9-0 with a win against the Panthers (1-9) in a game called before halftime.
Shamar Figueroa and Brendon Clark pushed the Manchester lead to 14-0 within the game's first 36 seconds, and the game was wildly out of hand after the first quarter concluded with the Lancers holding a 49-0 lead.
Figueroa had three rushing touchdowns within the first four minutes of the game for Manchester.
Backup quarterback Roemell Garcia ended up with three touchdowns in a short amount of time in the third quarter to push the final scoreline to 70-0, and finished with 116 yards rushing on only six carries.

70-0 at half..probably a good thing to call it
No mercy rule other than running clock in 2nd half if one team up by 35. I think there is a mutual agreement clause, but not sure.
Salem was up 77-7 a few yrs ago at the half and they played the whole game. So it’s probably up to the coaches
THIS IS A PROBLEM!!!!!!!!
A game MUST go a full half to be official.

I just went through the VHSL handbook section on football and I do not see any reference to this.
interesting... I couln't find it there (in football or in general) OR in the 2014 NFHS book.
I know some years back the VHSL basically re-did the whole section on football... maybe it WAS there but isn't anymore?!?!?!? I have no idea what box my older Handbooks might be in.
But I'm not the only one who 'knows' about it... Taft Coghill at the Fred. paper mentioned it a few weeks ago.

It is an excellent point to bring up. I just feel like the officials would not have allowed it to be called if it would not be legal. I know we give refs a rough time but I would hope they would know what constitutes a complete game.
Boys, let me tell ya sumthun.
Back in MY day, yuhawl played the WHOLE 48 minutes.
AND had to run back kickoffs.
AND it was UPHILL, both ways... no matter WHICH end of the field you were on.

Following up on this thread, has anyone been able to verify if this went down as an official game or not?
According to the WTVR TV Station Website out of Richmond:
HENRICO COUNTY, Va. -- Manchester started fast, as they scored 49 points in the first quarter as they handed Hermitage their worst loss in school history, 70-0. The game was called in the second quarter due to lighting after a delay.
Lancers starting quarterback Brendon Clark played less than a quarter as they didn't want to risk injury. He threw a touchdown and added one on the ground in his time on the field.
Clark's backup, Roemell Garcia scored three touchdowns in the second quarter and ended the night with 116 yards on only six carries.
Hermitage was shutout for the fifth time this season and have been outscored 419-62 this season.

FYI: - The kids did not call the game;
unless you are ancient enough to call the adults involved kids
Well, let's see..... my 10th grade PE teacher had a boy in grade school who grew up to be the head coach of one of the 2002 state title teams.
