Direct quote from the rule: [[[Any time the score differential reaches thirty-five points or more, the following changes will be made regarding rules determining when the clock will be stopped and/or started. In addition, in keeping with the rules that allow for mutual agreement between coaches for period shortening, the running clock may be implemented at any time by mutual agreement of the coaches. Coaches choice may not supersede the automatic provisions with a 35 point differential 1. Once the running clock provisions are implemented, the clock shall continue to run from the point that the differential occurs (and shall not return to official time) with the following clarifications: ]]] then there are provisions such as player injury, administering fouls, heat time outs, etc. Note that the rule directly from the Director of Officials states “shall not return to official time” - nor does it state a half or anything else.

I sat in on an official’s rules clinic and I can tell you they stressed that it doesn’t change back. When I get back by the office I’ll grab the wording that was given to everyone there and share where it said that. I apologize for not having it on hand, I left my notebook at the office. I can’t say what brought it about, nor can I say I like that. All I can say is it definitely doesn’t change back to normal clock.

Not sure where you got that from. The meeting I sat in earlier this week, once it hits 35 it runs regardless of not being 35 anymore and the coaches don’t have a choice. when I get the opportunity, I can run down the rule for you. There are exceptions to when it’ll run ie injury, timeout, etc… but it was definitely stressed that it will run after 35 point differential regardless of what the score changes to

Note that once it is a 35 point difference, it doesn’t return to a normal running clock. Even if the losing team makes it 35-28 with 1 minute to go - still a running clock

agreed

agree completely - I don't see any logical location that isn't a logistic nightmare for families

Announced today - Carter Norris returning after 6 years at Lafayette

I've heard rumblings of a possible Lowndes County consolidation, but I can't see how they'd manage that. Both Caledonia and New Hope are really good sized schools with Caledonia steadily growing. I could see a potential New Hope/West Lowndes consolidation though. Columbus wouldn't be involved in this as they're in a completely separate district. Note - this is just rumblings, not anything solid yet

That was a messed up situation. From what I've seen through various social media platforms, he was terminated at Mendenhall because a couple girls got into a fight after they got off the bus he was driving. Apparently he told them if they're going to fight take it off the bus and they did... I don't know if any of that's accurate, just a summation of what I've read on social media. Jenkins is a good man, good DC - he'll do some good things on the coast.

Wonder if any of these would be different if they had the proper home teams

Had never hosted a playoff game either and have bumped that up to 3 now. excited for the boys, Friday is going to be a slugfest though

Same! loved ScorebookLive before they integrated with dragonfly. Once they started pulling from the dragonfly database their system got jacked up. Oh and heaven forbid if their is a scorer for both teams, it goes haywire

I think it’s more that folks continue sleeping on what Caledonia is capable of doing. That said - Senatobia worries the heck out of me - Louisville really didn’t this year, but I wasn’t going to run my mouth since they are reigning champs. as for Cavaliers, I think a lot of people are happy with it now. Some are still disappointed but overall folks have really bought into it - I think the success of this season has really helped.

Will do. Right now we’re playing on having Rion join us for a bit before the game to talk Louisville football with us
