Why is it when referees are selected to call a state championship game they don't want to "affect" the game by calling a bunch of penalties. Consequently blatant holds and obvious pass interference that make the game right all year long are ignored. Really turns my stomach and makes the game a free for all. The worst I ever saw Friday night.

Cause they really aren't good refs, despite what the state associations say

I think I heard a rant similar to this. Which particular game are you referring to?

counterpoint to your rant is this.......the lack of not calling penalties is equally not called both ways........

I think I heard a rant similar to this. Which particular game are you referring to? One where one team had 44 pass attempts without the other team being called for pi even once. One team had eight holding calls in the first meeting of the two teams and two in the state championship rematch, the first didn't occur until the last play of the third quarter.

Wonder if it was the same crew they got in Semis?

I saw a rant about what I believe is the same game your are referring to.

Both teams got the same calls/no calls. It's over. Maybe the refs will be better next game.

Just frustrated when stuff that has been called all year is ignored on a big stage. Kids are confused about what is and what isn't.

Kids are confused about what is and what isn't. I was just wondering. Never said you were whining or anything. Been frustrated with officials before myself.

Its actually a pretty good point. It makes things tough on the kids. Some crews let kids play, others are as nit picky as can be. A part of scouting is knowing the crews as well, if possible. I know RPO's are gonna kill us with linemen down field with some crews, with others I know its gonna be called right.

h3ll dip, it's all a shame, a few years ago the crew calling the 5a game was from mine and yours former panther land area, those guys are/were/always will be awful. And they get the state game. It was right after Ed came out defending the refs and how assignments for semi and Championhips are based off ratings. I mean these dudes stink up junior high games!
