Laverne vs Okeene; OBA vs Seiling

OBA has 3 of the guys I mentioned back. Seiling is certainly the favorite. OBA will have to play really well to stay with them.

I absolutely agree that Okeene and Laverne might be a nice game.

OBA v. Seiling was a good one. OBA had two go ahead TD’s called back late in the 4th. Absolutely horrendous calls, but I’m also biased.

There was a strip and score with 3 minutes to go. There was a “hold” called 30 yards behind the ball.

That same drive OBA scored another “hold” 10 yards behind the play

It was terribly one sided. Especially if it was a call on the Seiling side of the field. One official was heard after the game about feeling intimidated by Coach Manuel.

Spectacular, hard hitting, battle of a game. Hopefully those teams get another one down the road.

That’s what the official said when he picked up his meal after the game. Give it a watch when you can, I’d be interested in an unbiased take.

Great game. Certainly deserving of Game of the week. The contenders in B are starting to show up.

I was told by an official at the Velma game a few weeks ago that it's was a change this year. They added an official. If a school refuses to pay for six officials, then the other officials split there pay to accommodate him.

It’s hard to tell anything on the Skordle film as you don’t see what happens behind the run. From what I saw I didn’t see anything malicious or anything on the strip sack. The call was a block in the back and not a hold on #44, they also could have been calling on #4. Again you couldn’t see it in the Skordle film.

I’m sure kids not giving up on the play saw somebody to block and pushed a kid in the back. Coaches have to start coaching that if you’re behind the play stop trying to get a game breaking block. Originally I thought it was on #68 because you can see him turn and go in for a block but the call came at the 15 so I’m not sure. Again nothing I saw popped out.

As far as the hold that was called on #50. I 100% disagree with that. The player was double teamed for one but he still got blow up off the ball. Not sure what the officials saw but I think it was a bad call.

On these Skordle broadcast I kinda wish they didn’t zoom in so close and you would get a little bit more of the game because you do have things that happen behind the play.

I have seen a 6 man crew 1 time, I was told the reasoning was because one of their officials was older and might need a break that is it. May be something new in 8 man though.
