re: Worst high school officiating game or call you ever saw.

Too many painful memories to discuss...still pisses me off!

I'm from OS and heard about this game. The broadcaster is a friend of mine and if those are his quotes, it makes me laugh because it all sounds exactly like something he would say.

Let's just say you better be prepared when you play at Central Lafourche or South Lafourche.

Worst I've ever seen was a 1991 (I think) 4A playoff game between Hahnville and Bogalusa. The refs needed a police escort off of the field at the end.

The worst thing I ever saw was when LaGrange played West Monroe in Lake Charles during the playoffs. I don't remember the year exactly, 1996 I think though.

Anyway, we were up 10-7 on WM in the 4th with WM driving the ball. Pitch goes to the running back and he mishandles it as our player tackles him. LG recovers the ball, but they call defensive holding on the LG guy for tackling the running back when he didn't have the ball.

WM gets the ball back and goes on to win 14-10 in Lake Charles. This was when Catholic (BR) was ranked #1 all year. WM goes on to beat them the next week and beats Carencro in the Dome.

This was also a game where Shows had a heart attack and missed the game. During the week leading up to it, he was quoted in a Monroe paper about being back next week when they play Catholic. Turns out he was right, but never did care for the guy because of that.

Worst call I have seen in a high school game was either my junior year in High School. I went to Franklinton and we were playing Tylertown Ms. They were up 6 with time running out and we score a TD with seconds left on the clock and line up to kick the extra point to win the game. Kicker nails it right down the middle. The official waives off the kick and rules the ball too high. Ended up a tied game. Never heard of such bull shite in my life.

don't really know of any. never really watched a high school game and came out thinking how horrible the officiating was.

altho in the state championship of oak grove vs south panola (2004 maybe?) i did notice that SP was holding nearly the entire game and getting away with it.

No, a pick ended the game but I really have no idea what play this guy is talking about.

Both locker rooms there were always cold as shite, that's just how they had it for some reason. I'm trying to remember exactly when it was, but not sure the time left on the clock.

The call was on our safety, #10 Mike Hathaway. It was somewhere around the 10-30 yard line with WM going in.

ETA: And it was to the left from the press box side, so it would have been going to the right from the WM sideline. Towards the back endzone with the scoreboard.

If you play against Covington or St. Paul at their place and they have Nola officials, you better bring a truckload of Vaseline. Some of the worst I've ever seen and it's been going on for years

When I played for St. Paul's (right before and as we were getting good), it was the opposite. Never had any calls go our way.

My senior year, we defeated John Ehret 21-0, but we had 16 holding penalties, which negated 3 TDs and several other big plays. Ehret had 2 total penalties, when they were constantly hitting after the whistle, grabbing defensive linemens' jerseys, etc.

But I've heard that recently, St. Paul's has had the help of officials in several games. Would have been nice when I was there.

If you're referring to inner-city schools, then absolutely. These kids get to benefit for not knowing blocking techniques and holding on every play.
