According to very reliable inside sources close to the team......the tape of the game was sent to the UIL for review with complaints by the Goliad coaching staff claiming uncalled and malicious chop blocks and other types of malevolent behavior from the RF side intending to maim and injure the Goliad star players. Let's count them......2 offensive linemen starters injured and gone for the season with ACL knee injuries sustained from malicious chop blocks that were allowed and not called. Star receiver and kick returner Dontavion Clay with an injured shoulder, star defensive end and offensive RB Logan Bland with a hamstring injury gone for at least 3 weeks, RB and DB Shaun Justice with a leg injury, another defensive lineman out with a leg injury, a linebacker out with an undisclosed injury, and the star QB Rocky Morris ejected from the game before halftime for yelling at his own player......the official claimed Morris was yelling at him. The ejection comes with an automatic one-game suspension, but the UIL upon reviewing the tape of the game and all the circumstances allowed Morris to play only the 2nd half of the Shiner game. He came in on Goliad's first possession of the 2nd half. On his 2nd play from scrimmage.....he reeled off a 60 yd run to the Shiner one yard line. On the very next play.....With Goliad leading 20-14....the ball was stripped from the backup Goliad RB, then scooped up and advanced by a Shiner defensive player. Morris on only his 3rd snap in the game ran and made the tackle. That's where the broken collar bone injury occurred last night. The UIL has suspended the Corpus Christi officiating crew that called the RF/Goliad game for the season.....except for one official. The Goliad Tigers successful season looks to be ruined because of it. Seven injuries to key players.......all starters for Goliad.......is just a little too much to swallow from one game from a team that was a 35 pt underdog. This explains both low scores of both games from an offensive juggernaut like Goliad this season(and last season). If you have some different information than I do, please PM me or just post it. I'm simply relating the information given to me from Goliad sources close to the team.
Sad news to hear.
