Too bad we couldn't watch LIVE because the feed for television was so screwed up. Nice work, GPB... most important game of the year and you can't solve technical problems FOR HOURS! Made it utterly unwatchable...
The Walton Raiders choke away another State Championship after a perfect season, just like 10 years ago. Referees giving the Milton Eagles a mulligan on the missed field goal totally turned the game around. Had the referee been paying attention and kept the flag in his pocket, we're talking about a totally different ballgame. Milton made great adjustments at halftime and totally dominated the second half. Raiders crumbled under the pressure, Hecklinski in particular made numerous bad throws against strong coverage. This was the Raiders' game to win and they let it get away. East Cobb County's dream of a High School Football State Champion is going to have to wait...
God damn ... he absolutely annihilated that QB. I watched it live, over and over. It was brutal and probably should have been a targeting call ... he buried his helmet under the QB's chin.
2:34:00 Milton touchdown catch. Total BS call from the ref.... That was a completed pass.. The ball was clearly tucked away and not moving. What's more disturbing Are the announcers who feel it necessary to support the refs call when everyone knows the refs made a terrible call.
At the end? No, it was a good call, the receiver caught the ball while falling down. When that happens, he needs to complete the process of the catch. The ball came out as he was on the ground. The NFL uses the wording “surviving the ground.”
