TK_on_the_Coast Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 I may be reaching a very small audience with these but I decided to throw together and release to my social media weekly game previews for Vancleave's 2022 Region 4-5A schedule. Do with this what you will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maroontide06 Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 Why is there even a thread for this game? Vancleave (or Van Cleave spell check compliant) should win this thing in blowout fashion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no litmus test for worthy posts and you're not a gate-keeper. I simply decided to take the time to throw together game previews for Vancleave's region games this season and post them to my TWTR and FB. Then I thought, why not post them here. By comparison, if someone wanted to make a post about a Sebastopol vs Leake County game they have every right to do that as well ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They shouldn’t have any problems with Long Beach tonight . Fant wins big tonight. I certainly wasn’t trying to be offensive to you. I enjoyed reading the stats you posted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The site I use says 09-01-1989 Also lists score as 0-0. Not sure if that was a cancelled game with teams agreeing to tie or an actual wooly-booger of defensive slugfest.

s1nglewing Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 From the Sun Herald 09/02/1989: "Vancleave and Long Beach battled to a scoreless tie Friday at Lance Lumpkin Stadium in Long Beach in the season-opener for both teams... Although a sudden-death playoff formula is commonly used, the teams did not agree to play the overtime period before the game started as required by Mississippi High School Activities Association rules." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to give those Long Beach kids a lot of credit. They haven’t won in a while, but keep playing hard. Here’s hoping that they find a way to win one this season.

I’m telling you Vancleave could’ve hung 80 on them. Then Long Beach got 3 onside kicks in a row. Coach put some of the ones back in on Long Beach’s last drive.

TK_on_the_Coast Posted September 26, 2022 Author Share Posted September 26, 2022 51-23 with 8:00 left in 4Q , following ensues LBHS OS kick recovery - TD vs VHS backups LBHS OS kick recovery - TD vs VHS backups LBHS OS kick recovery - TD vs VHS starters Now 51-43 - Vancleave recovers OS kick and runs clock out Every OS kick Long Beach's kicker was 1/2 yard offsides with his front plant foot - never called even with an asst coach in Side Judge's ear on last attempt. I believe it was 2Q and the following occurred: Vancleave OS kick recovered at LBHS 46 by Long Beach. 2 game balls were sent into play and given to two different officials. One placed at correct LBHS 46 - the other placed at VHS 46. The wrong ball is picked up and line of scrimmage for 1st down in now the Vancleave 46 - LBHS given 8 free yards of offense. Oh boy !!

TK_on_the_Coast Posted September 26, 2022 Author Share Posted September 26, 2022 Just like Bill Parcells says, "You are what your record says you are, the score is what it says it is." I was more just giving the sequence of events that led to them scoring 20 in a row. As far as how it got to 51, a young man that usually plays receiver scored the last TD as a running back with starting RB out of game. No excuses.

yearsoftryin Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 Long Beach was not given a free 8 yards. On the kickoff, the ball was first touched by Vancleave at the Vancleave 48 yard line. The ball was placed at the spot of first touching. No Oh Boy moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Throws you off seeing two balls placed by two different officials. I don't recall a penalty being announced for illegal touching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I communicated that I was documenting a series of events that led to a 20-0 run. Then I literally said, "no excuses!" Then you want to go on about a list for the next week in a game Vancleave would be a huge underdog and no one would expect a win in the first place. C'mon Man !!
