Biggest HS ref frickery you’ve seen?

Well was it a lane violation or not? Maybe it was a legit call.

If they were really trying to screw the losing team, they wouldn’t have called the foul or the travel.

but the ref calls a lane violation!

Well, if it was a lane violation, it's the right call. What are you so mad about, following the rules?

Evangel @ Hoover. Hoover receiver drops pass in endzone late in game to win. Yes, you read that right. Worse than the Jabar Gaffney "TD" vs Tennessee, which wasn't even close.

State championship mais girls basketball. The team the girls are playing have won like 40 state bball titles. Leading by 3, they release their final shot a good .5 seconds after the buzzer and backboard light go off.

Refs count it. Won't look at video, even though they were supposed to, and the host team (who they were playing) is supposed to have an official camera for just such occasion. Girls get beat in OT.

There was an awful out of bounds ruling when I was a young buck in the football state semis that I still hear about quite frequently. The old timers say there was 5 yards between him and the line. In 20 years, he'll be in the middle of the field im sure

Biggest I have ever seen. Mid 80's Ponchatoula @ Bogalusa about 3 seconds left Bogalusa kicks a FG that is about 3 feet wide and they call it good for the win.

Biggest I ever heard of is documented in my freshman year book where they had a ton of the history of PHS in it. 1970 AA state championship basketball game Ponchatoula vs. Pineville. Late in the game Ponchy All-State Forward Mark Kolwe is at the line for a 1 & 1. He makes the first shot and Pineville grabs the ball inbounds it and throws it down the court for a layup and they count it and call a technical on the PHS coach. Pineville wins 63-59

Playing against a Doug Williams coached team on Doug Williams field where the head ref was Doug’s brother.


Northeast was likely winning anyway but that sealed it.

There should have been an appeal process for this. That's a misapplied rule, not a judgement call.

The Rummel Holy Cross Game this year...

They gave HC an extra third down... Rummel stopped them but they flagged Nick Monica and Rummel 15 yards for arguing the situation giving HC a first down.

Called a Rummel KO return about 50 yards back to the Rummel 30 saying the guy's knee was down. Official called it from the endzone thirty yards behind him, where in no way he could see if his knee was down, which it wasn't.

HC deep man called fair catch on a punt, but another HC player received it and ran to the Rummel 35. They finally threw the flag for illegal ball advancement but took the yardage back from where the guy was tackled instead of where he received the ball.

It was the worst officiating at a HS game I've ever seen... So bad, they didn't even wait for security to escort them out the stadium, they just ran out taking their officiating shirts off...
