Re: Wild High School finish

wow, that's even crazier than a highschool play from earlier in the year
(team is kicking a FG as time expires. the kick is well short, and the defending team has a player back to return it, who catches it in the endzone, runs out 10 or 15 yards, and spikes the ball in celebration. Player from the kicking team picks up the ball and runs it in for a gamewinning TD).

If an official really did blow his whistle prior to the holder picking up the ball and running it in, the Plymouth coach does have a legitimate beef, but it could very well be that there was no whistle and he is just misremembering. (either way, one of the teams will be upset about the call)

on a trivial note: did the holder still have his knee down when he picked up the ball prior to running it? if so, wouldn't he technically be down at that spot? (I think the holder has a special exception on the kick itself, but after the kick is blocked, I don't think that exception would still apply)

He actually got up, and then went back down to pick it up. His knee did touch from the looks of zooming in...so Plymouth should have won.

I doubt there is video review in michigan highschool football, so he's only down if the officials called him down.

Their coach is sounding like a db over this whole thing, though. Move on coach...so your players can move on.

As long as it never crosses the expanded neutral zone, it can be advanced by either team. If it crosses the expanded neutral zone and is first touched by the receiving (defense) team, it can be recovered by the kicking team, but not advanced.

The coach must be from NDSU since he sounds like the Bison fans.
