Bias on the high school football field
Tuesday, October 16, 2007



I have heard for years that officials lean one way or another during games, but I couldn't believe it until last Friday night.

I had just arrived home from watching a very emotional Clyde vs. Wylie game to watch highlights of the game on KTXS Football Friday Night. To my dismay, Wylie's first touchdown was handed to them by an official. KTXS' footage was awesome.

The running back was stripped of the ball before he reached the end zone. The ball was in the hands of a Clyde player with a Wylie player on top of him on the 1/2 yard line -- then the official signals touchdown. The ball never even made it to the end zone.

I would be ashamed if I was this official. He was right on top of the play. No accident here.

Clyde has an awesome team, and I am biased. However, they should have came away with the victory Friday night. Wylie is awesome in their own league-- that's right. It is obvious their school is twice as big and so is the football team.

I have the utmost respect for Coach Hugh Sandifer and his coaching. He is an all-time great coach, and the boys standing for Clyde's school song was a sign of his respect for others. Thanks, Coach, for a great game. I am sorry it came down to an official's bad call, though. It only hurts the boys; no one else.

[KTA]

wow, horrible call if this is true

Not to try to "Bash" the officials, or anybody who knows people out of that chapter, but ive never liked having that chapter ref a game....just my opinion

Side note, the McMurry coachs that did the Graham/Monahans game did a GREAT job.

[JR2004]

Well didn't really sound like whining from that fan. If there's some conclusive video evidence that they screwed up badly then I'd say the officials are at fault. Anyone else see the play in question in person or on that highlight show?

The play that she is talking about is in this video (http://reporternews.com/gfn/videos/ktxs/)

ol Beaudreaux bet he didnt do it lol

[KTA]

WOW, that wasnt a TD:eek:

Pause the video right at the 21 sec mark

[wildstangs]

I honestly can't tell what happened in that video clip. We see the guy running into the endzone, next thing you know a Clyde player has the ball on the ground. Did the Wylie guy next to him get the ball to the endzone first, or did the original player make it to the endzone before being stripped? One thing I did notice is that the Clyde players standing around didn't argue with the ref when he signaled TD.

Oh boy...Looks to me like the official completely blew that one. Good grief he was right on top of it. That's pretty bad right there.

[block&tackle]

I hate when people whine about officiating......but that obviously wasn't a touchdown.:eek:

[wildstangs]

After looking at the video some more, I think the official believed that the Wylie RB crossed the goalline before being stripped, which he obviously didn't do.

After the Clyde kid stripped the ball neither was even CLOSE to the endzone.

Me too, bad call or not, it happens to everyone. Can one play cost a team a game? Maybe, but most likely no! Who is to say that Clyde wouldn't have fumbled the ball on the next play and Wylie recovered for a TD.

[KTA]

one play can change a game, I disagree with you on that

Momentum

Whos to say Clyde would of ran for a 99 yard TD?

I thought it was an awful call, but oh well, the refs cant always get it right...Just gotta live with it and except it...
I have and u can't blame the outcome on one play, there are what about 150 play in a game and if u wanted to u could nit-pick the refs to death on each play...

[mustang04]

the thing is you never know....the only way that play for sure could have affected the outcome of the game would be if it was the VERY last play...what if clyde got the ball there on the 1/2 yard line...then the wylie D force a safety then get the ball back and march down and score again....just cuz wylie scored off that bad call doesnt mean that play was the deciding factor

[BILLYFRED0000]

Not a td for sure. Clyde looked pretty tough to me.....

[Tromboneking]

Not complaining...Clyde is a good football team...but there was a letter written to the Wichita Falls paper from the Graham game. It basically accused the BAND of being unsportsmanlike for playing when Clyde had the ball.

I was there and only a few yards from where it happened. It certainly didnt look like a TD to me at the time, but I wasnt right in line with the gole line either, so I had to assume the official who was right on top of it made the right call. But I was certainly questioning it at the time alright.
What I cant remember is what down it was at the time. But it seems like it was 4th down.

[Texasfootball2]

When the play happened at the game, there was noway that anyone in the stands could tell whether the ball crossed the goalline or not. But when the ref. signal TD there were two or three Clyde players over there close by an not one of them argued the call, so it must have been to close to call. If there hadn't been a TV camera write on the goalline video it I doubt that anyone would have ever said a word about it. The call only became a big deal after KTXS showed it on there highlight show at 11:00. And you still had to have a DVR that goes frame to frame to make a correct call. Was it a bad call, sure it was, but the ref didn't have the luxury of replay. If it had been an obvious bad call then the Clyde players and Coaches would have gone crazy at the time, and other than the Kid from Clyde who ended up with the ball shruging his shoulders a little at the ref, nobody else said anything. If the TV camera man had been standing behind the endzone we wouldn't even be having this discussion. If your going to cry about one judgement call costing you the game, maybe we should DVR Kevil's TD run in overtime because his knee could have very well touched down on the two yardline before the ball crossed the endzone, but there is not a camera man standing on the goalline giving us a perfect view so it's not even an issue. If you look at the game stats, the penalties were not one sided. They call it both ways all night. You make it sound like the refs just hosed Clyde and that is not the case.

That was a great high school football game and I know the Clyde fans are dissappointed that they didn't win a game that they had in their grasp. Coach Slaughter has done a great job and Clyde has another huge game this week. He is trying his best to get his team focus on Sweetwater and it is a huge distraction to the kids and coaches, when all they hear is how they got cheated.

I became a Clyde fan the other night, and I hope they make a good playoff run, but do your kids and coaches a favor and move on.

It was actually a 1st down play but thats irrelavent because a Clyde player recovered the ball on the two yardline.

[STANG RED]

I have to disagee. I was standing by the chain link fence right next to the steps going up into the stands, so I very close to the play. And I certainly saw 5 or 6 of the Clyde boys questioning the officials, but to their credit they didnt push it so far as to get a penalty. But there were several of them obviously very upset at the call. Also, I happen to be standing next to two Wylie dads, and they to did not think it looked like a TD. But again, we were not directly in line with the goal line, and the official was right on top of the play, so we had to assume he got it right.

I really am pulling for the Clyde Bulldogs to make a playoff run this year Lakers. Coach Slaughter and the players made a fan out of me Friday. I made it a point to find Coach Slaughter after the game to shake his hand and wish him luck. I was also impressed with the way your kids handled themselves after the game. This doesn't mean that I'm pulling for either team this Friday because I think both of them will make the playoffs and I am always for representatives from our district in the playoffs but I will routing a little extra for Clyde in November. Good Luck!!

[scott Wilson]

NO WAY did that ref believe that was a TD. He waited WAAAAAY too long to signal the call. The runner was looking back for the ball before the ref signalled. The kids were on the 1 yd line scrambling for it as he watched. I usually defend the refs to the end, but that their looks shady at best.

[SpeedOption]

clyde got shafted

[CenTexSports]

First, the video does not show a goal line view.

Second, the ball does not have to ever get into the end zone. All that has to happen is for the tip of the ball to get over the goal line. So if any part of the ball broke the plane of the goal line it was a touchdown.

Third, the official was where he was supposed to be and he made the call based on what he saw.

Fourth, if the fan believes he or she can do better then they should sign up and put on the funny little britches and striped shirt and get his butt on the field.

[sweetwater07]

who cares....Clyde lost the game and should be thinking about this Friday night instead dwelling on the past.

[TinyTim]

These refs have been blowing calls all year long and if truth be known these young inexperienced refs will error in favor of the more intimidating coaches like Hugh. Cause he yells and screams at them every game winning or losing.

Look and the pictures on wyliesports.com if you don't believe me.

1st, the view was with in a couple feet of the goal line, it was pretty darn close...

2nd, it is pretty clear that the ball never reached the end zone...

3rd, it took him way too long to make up his mind...

4th, it was posted on the opinion page of the paper, u can say what ever u want, 1st ammendment right, freedom of religion,speech, petition, press, and assembly...

so ur just gonna condradict what everybody else has been sayin in this post huh... It's ur 1st ammendment right u can say what u want...

you could suspend him, but you may only have 4 officials calling your next game. ten years down the road, the coaches, or maybe the fans will be allowed to call. there is a major shortage of officials. his mechanics were good, he was right on top of the play. the camera is not looking down the line.

I'm interested to see this. As another poster said get this up on Youtube. That call was just completely awful. I get to see ridiculous officiating on a weekly basis with the DFW chapter, but I haven't seen them make a call that bad.

I read all of the comments on the Abilene paper's site and thought for a minute it was a Snyder vs. Sweetwater thread. It does appear that the Wylie player didn't reach the end zone with the ball, but sometimes when they do reviews in the college game and NFL, they show plays from several angles and one angle sometimes don't give you the true picture. MIssed calls in high school is part of the game. But I know that the Clyde fans will always think that they were robbed.

I disagree with you on the kevil run just because i have seen the film on the td run, and becuase i was right beside him... But you are right about the fumble call. All of the players and coaches have moved on and i think the fans (majority have too) we have a Large task at hand and we are on to this week

I also saw the film, but it was the game film shot from the top of the pressbox, not a good angle. The only reason I even brought it up was because from that angle it could be argued that he was down, but there is no way of knowing for sure. BUT, had there been a camera right on the goalline (which was the same goalline by the way) with a close up of it, who knows this play could have created the same amount of controversy.

I said this the other day on one of these threads. I became a Clyde fan the other night and I hope they have a great run in November. Regardless of who wins this game friday I think our district will be well represented in the playoffs this year.

[whtfbplaya]

If I was guessing, which is bad, but...
I think that the official had an iw, thinking that the guy still had the ball at first.
Then when he realized what happened he figured he could bail himself out with the touchdown call.
They would have got the ball back for the iw anyway, he was in a bad situation.

If I was guessing, which is bad, but...
I think that the official had an iw, thinking that the guy still had the ball at first.

I also saw the film, but it was the game film shot from the top of the pressbox, not a good angle. The only reason I even brought it up was because from that angle it could be argued that he was down, but there is no way of knowing for sure. BUT, had there been a camera right on the goalline (which was the same goalline by the way) with a close up of it, who knows this play could have created the same amount of controversy.

I said this the other day on one of these threads. I became a Clyde fan the other night and I hope they have a great run in November. Regardless of who wins this game friday I think our district will be well represented in the playoffs this year.

Same here, when playoffs roll around I will always root for the reps from our district...

And I dont recall that Clyde fan that suggested Wylie should give the win to Clyde, stepping up and claiming that Clyde should give the win to Sweetwater because of the bad call that allowed them to score after that last turnover.:doh: :devil: :D

I finally decided that IW stood for "Inadvertane (sp?) Whistle"

Yea, and maybe you should get a copy of the film and slow it down and watch it... Becuase McCoy was just starting to fall forward when the ball came out... I think he knew that too because he was headed back towards the SW side gettin ready for D arguing only at himself for fumbling. I'm sure the sweetwater coaches have that on film and would be more than happy to tell you that he was still on his way down when the ball popped out.

I don't think the fumble in question happened with McCoy and there is another website with a very good clip of this play. Just like the Wylie game, this one is over but the clip shows the ball carriers knees on the ground before the ball comes out.

So....will our friend from Clyde write another letter to the editor complaining about the refs? Of course not! This call went his way, so no letter, no complaints. I can hear him now "they did it to make up for the call last week". As if there is some big conspiracy out there. Please!

This is an easy fix. Now all the refs will have to do is, make a bad call in the Swater/Wylie game that will give Swater the win, and all will be right with the world once again.:devil:

Wont it be hilarious if this actually happens! Is that what they call poetic justice?:D
