Johnson Central 59 Rowan County 10. Final
#39
blue rainbow Wrote:I would like to congratulate Johnson Central on their win...they were the better team although Rowan really held their own and never gave up despite having many "mishaps" (I think this is the word that I heard)... But, I need someone to explain a few things that I don't understand why they were allowed.... for example ... running up the score 59-10... hitting someone so hard that it knocks them out(this could cause brain damage) also, breaking bones and a player having to drag himself off the field because the referees would not stop the game...does anyone see anything wrong with this picture?????

Yeah, because some of that never happened. Score wasn't ran up, JC tried every way in the world to not run the score up. Could have easily tacked on a few more TD's instead of kicking a FG on 1st down to keep from a running clock early on. This whole 36 point running clock rule, although good in theory, doesn't make sense. One TD was off an interception also. There were several nice hits, all of which were legal (head in front, leading with shoulder) against players who were still involved with the play (less than 3 steps from the ball and could have made the play). I'm sure that their intentions were not to "inflict brain damage" on the players, however, they were blocking for their teammates. I don't recall anyone with a broken bone and someone having to crawl off the field without the officials stopping the play. It was very unfortunate for the injuries Rowan suffered, well wishes from EB. However to insinuate that there were cheap shots taken by JC or they were playing "dirty" is not the case.
