Purvis/ Wayne County game Friday Night

[Wareaglefan1us]

Purvis has a very nice facility. The only problem is there are no sidelines it’s very tight to say the least. Last Friday the officials were more worried about the sideline than what was happening on the field. A good game for an officiating team is one when nobody realizes you’re there. Friday they became the main focus. 
 There was a call early on that got a lot of attention. For the record I thought it was a clean hit. WC had an assistant coach get ejected and we were not on the field to say what was said to cause it but it happened. But I’m not sure the number of penalties or the yardage but it was crazy it seemed almost every other play. This had nothing to to do with Purvis or officiating on most Friday nights. But on last Friday night it was bad.

Go find the WJ/H’burg game on YouTube and watch it and count the flags.  It was over 30 total. 
 

I saw 2 clips from yalls game from behind endzone of 2 hits.  One that should have been targeting on our is but wasn’t flagged.  I think that’s the one where the wc coach got ejected.  And one that was flagged on wc but I don’t think it was targeting. May have been. But for sure was not as egregious as the one that should have been called on purvis.

They called two sideline warnings on Purvis within the first few minutes and penalized them. I guess they got paranoid and called two on us shortly after.There was no room for anyone to stand. I think both hits were clean but the Purvis player left his feet with his head down he was so short, It knocked Isiah's helmet off and he hit the ground. The white hat and the other officials instantly started looking at our sideline . One of our asst coaches said something to white hat and white hat mouthed back . Then it escalated from there  I cant help but think the ref had a history with our coach because it seemed personal

The whole environment was caused  by them not paying attention to what was happening on the field.  Purvis came in pushing the edge anyway and when the refs didn't reign it in the kept getting more bold and late with it. They should have reigned it in. Pound called several time outs all game refocusing  the team. They called four of five of our TDs back and IDK how many first downs.  They called another sideline warning later in the game and said it was our first with no penalty.

 

Second half of Vancleave and now these last two the opposition is doing whatever they can to stop play and keep our offense from fast breakng them. The first quarter took right at an hour to play last Friday  with refs meeting for  long stretches. I hope nobody draws that crew in the playoffs

One thing about the crew Friday is the officials were to old and out of shape to keep up with the speed of the game. I know I’m 61 and overweight but I’m not trying to call games either. I also know there’s nobody signing up to be officials. So I guess it’s a problem you have to get use to. You would think the assigning secretary would know who was playing and send some officials that can handle the game

I think there is a plan in place for a new Purvis stadium. That should help later. As for age of refs they don't need to be on the sideline judges once you get past a certain weight and age. If you can't see well you don't need to be there either.

I agree but again they are having a hard time getting officials. Purvis has a very nice facility the issue is just sideline room

Here's the thing about officials. Would you rather have an older veteran official who more than likely knows the entire rulebook backwards and forwards or a younger less experienced one who probably doesnt know everything. Especially with playoffs coming up
