One of the poorest officiated games (on both sides) that I've witnessed. Twice when Belfry was ready to score OR moving the ball and close to the endzone flags were thrown like crazy. I counted 6 facemasks that Ashland commited and only 1 was called. There were also a couple of calls made against Ashland that were questionable as well. I hate when the adults (cough-cough) officials just don't let the kids play.

Overall this was a great game and the Pirates now know what they need to fix or work on. They will be fine and move on to the next challenge.

As for fans being rude- yes I heard them myself but let me ask: How many Belfry players did you see laying on the field for more than 30 seconds (other than Johnson when he was injured) for cramps? Maybe Ashland needs to give those boys some pedalite the day before and day of the game and it would tremendously eliminate those cramps. I seem to also recall a Belfry player trying to help one of Ashland's players when he was down and cramping. Class, you better know it!

Yeah that was the kid who was down a while that he helped. I don't think the officials were that bad those false starts I saw before the refs threw the flags.
