How do you know he was ruled down by contact?

Was forward progress stopped? Because if so - that's down. I find it hard to believe an official told you he was ruled down by contact.

What was Central's coaching complaining about with the time at the end? One of their guys jumped offsides while the clock was running. They had no timeouts. You don't get a free clock stoppage. That would be the easiest trick in the book.
Under 2 mins the offended team has the option to start game clock on snap or ready -MANY coaches forget that rule and it's application.

Just think is NOLA hadn't squandered so much Katrina, BP or COVID money on stupid useless crap berhman could be like what P ville has or even better. Doubt they can do it on campus - on campus stadiums for OP publics has be a no go for dang near a century.

oh 51 running clock games this week.

there's an old TD Law where Catholic and West Monroe can never just lose a game without blaming the refs.

Both fumbles were before any whistle or stoppage. They blew the calls.. plain and simple and it happens but .. burying your head in the sand protecting your own doesn’t help anyone.

Catholic has to be better but so do the refs. I’ve seen that crew or at least parts of that crew multiple times this year and half of them are really struggling and half seem to be really good.

I don’t know anything about crews. But when ASH played Destrehan the crew there was painful.

Threw tons of flags. Discussed each one about two minutes. I hope that was an anomaly down there. Our Cenla crews seem to do a great job.

I have no ties to catholic. The game I was watching ended and I clicked over on VSN.

Runner was running, ball punched out, Catholic falls on it. The downfield ref and side judge see it but don’t signal, they go talk to each other. Somehow they both completely missed it. The head ref has the worst angle but he figures if they don’t signal turnover then it must be down by contact so he gives the first down to the MS team.

The crazy part of the whole story is with 1:30 left the entire scenario played out again. You would think the refs would give each team one of the decisions. Nope they both missed it again and it was again wrongly ruled a 1st down for MS team.

LCA is very good and will likely win state. In 2A. They competed in 4A for several years with Ju’Juan but never won the title. They can easily win in 2A.



Probably would have stayed at 4A if the LHSAA would let you do that in football only. They struggled in other sports in 4A, except maybe basketball. They let their head coaches vote on it, and it was overwhelmingly in favor of going back to 2A. Football wanted to stay 4A, not sure about basketball.

LCA looks to be back on track after the Lockhart debacle last season. The record this season so far

9/5 vs 5A Archbishop Rummel W 27-26

9/12 @ 4A Carencro W 41-38

9/18 vs 4A Westgate W 45-21

9/26 @ 4A Archbishop Shaw L 31-13

10/3 @ 5A Central W 55-48

District 6-2A looks to be really competitive.

No one wants to address the real issues.

Depending upon if they are registered or certified, and if they have the white hat, they are making $90 -$130 a game.

They get there at least an hour before game. Probably on site 4 hrs. Plus all the time spent pre season and during season at meetings, studying rules, etc.

Probably make $20-$25 an hour.

For that, they have to deal with coaches and fans who dont know the rules. Now they have to deal with people who can watch online, but they don’t get on field replay to fix things.

All that leads to not having enough officials. In many cases your options are a bad official or no official.

It’s even worse at youth level. Some of them flat out don’t know rules. Sometimes they don’t show up. We’ve postponed games this year in multiple sports because the officials just never arrived. Sometimes we got lucky and was told day before no one was coming.

I wouldn’t do it for $500 and I can use some more money

Frick that, my brother did it about 6-7 years ago for a couple years. Made bad call and had his picture all over the local team that didn’t benefit from the call, Facebook posts. Basically the fans were just trashing him and he got bombarded with IMs on his own account once his name got out there. Frick all that, he quit.

Forward progress usually doesn’t have an immediate whistle. If fed progress is stopped play is essentially over

You are right. In the case of the catholic game last night, I do think it was bigger than those 2 fumbles. The crew took the path of least resistance all night. And those 2 plays were a result of that. Anything to keep the clock moving.

On the first fumble, MRA was driving to take a lead with a few minutes left. If the fumble is called, catholic would’ve had to go on a long drive and OT is looming. You think these guys want to stay extra for OT? Nah

The thing that amazes me about Karr is that the other coaches in NOLA don’t seem that pissed that they have all the talent… I kind of respect that


Why would they be pissed? Karr just pays more or provides more benefits.
