See why I was so worried? One reason I decided to leave out last week, as to why games against WA are so tough, is that the officiating is usually questionable, especially at their place. After the first three plays of the game, it was, "here we go again" yet again. Louisa threw a deep pass that was blatantly interfered, with the official and Coach Fischer 10 feet away from the play, no whistle. Louisa moved the ball on the drive, but a bad snap was fumbled away in the redzone. Later, Malik Bell was crossing the goal line, and lost the ball, resulting in a touchback. After that, Louisa's defense dominated and it was great that they did, because WA 6 ft 8 defensive end Luke Tenuta (multiple D1 offers) intercepted and returned a Lion screen pass to Louisa's 15 yard line, and WA scored a few plays later. The score was 15-8 at that point. A bad spot on a 4th down play for Louisa, and a WA catch that was ripped out of the player's hands by Louisa's Jarett Hunter, but ruled incomplete, kept the game more heart wrenching than it should've been. WA's QB threw four picks in each of the last two games, so, naturally, he played flawless ball tonight. Also, kickoff was scheduled for 7pm but moved to 7:40 after an accident on 64 caused Louisa to be late. Good gut-check win by my boys!!! Finally. And Brandon Smith's 80 yard TD run was a pleasure to watch.
