ALright I go to LeRoy school and play football, this weekend we were 11-0 until we lost in overtime 33-34. In the state semi-final game. The thing that bothers us the most is that the referees refed the poorest game of their carreers. I dont know if people on here know about LeRoys football progarm but people all over the state have heard about LeRoys football program ever if they havent been here. Anyways back to the game. We had 9 penalties for 140 yards and one thing that is significant is that we are very dicipined and people who who have seen us play will tell you we hadnt had that many penalties all season. The other teams penalties were a total of 2 adding up to 9 yards!Im not say that wew didnt do all of the things they called us for but the thing that was disgusting about it was that they were calling us for everything that they possibly could and they would hit us with holding or facemask or unsportsman like cunduct and this other team that we played was very dirty and unsportsman like and the refs would not call them for a single thing they did.
But the worst thing these refs had done was, it was the last seconds of the fourth quarter and we were on offence, we had gotten the ball within the 15 yard line and they threw the flags and we ended up back on the line further than from where we had starteim not sure if it was the 30 or 35 but there was 30 something seconds left and we had gotten the ball back up to like the 3 yard line and the play was over, there was 7 seconds left and our coach was screaming time out and there was a ref near by and they had ignored him. The reason he was calling time out was to stop the clock so we could kick the field goal. One of our team captains called time out to the ref right next to him and the ref said were out of time and he looked at the clock and there was 3 seconds left.So the clock ran out and we went into over time. and our field goal was block and we lost. Well to my surprise yesterday on the front page of the news "Officials cost LeRoy chance at title game" and in this article the sports writer stated the this was the poorest officiated game he had ever whittnessed and in the news paper it was in writing that they had video proof of our coach and quarterback calling the time out with time left on the clock. I dont mean to preach I just wanted your gys input on this situation. The way it sounds, if they push this issue someone is gonna get burned for this. In my oppinion they f***ed us.
