Saw that one too. Hard his with the shoulder pads to the back of the othernplayers shoulder pads. Clean. I don't know why the flag was thrown. When it first happened I thought maybe he got his helmet, but on film, he didn't. Bang bang play, and actually I don't have a problem with the flag in situations like that. I DO wish there was a way for HS officials to review plays like that, because the penalties are very costly in tight games. But I will never fault officials for erring on the side of caution with regards to player safety.

There was a couple plays like that a flag was thrown. I couldn't see for sure on the big hit but I dang well heard it. Plus does High school have the defenseless player rule?
