I didn’t discount your post outright, just because I’m a Manatee fan. In fact I made a earnest attempt to find a video of the game to re-watch it, because time can play tricks on your memory. Sadly all I could find was highlight clips of the game. I also attempted to find stats from the game, but all I could find in the way of stats were for Manatee. So in the end all I had was my memory of the game and a time line for scoring for the game. Don’t expect much from high school officiating, other than not making homer calls to the point of it affecting the final score. I just don’t recall feeling this was a game where officiating, played that kind of role.
Like I said initially, cook and yearby were basically running wild on the Manatee defense at the end of the game, because the manatee defense was just flat out tired. And I also recalled a very young central wr, making some really great catches…….Manatee’s offense however was more than the central defense could contend with all game, and at the end of the game the manatee offense made it matter where it counts…..the score board.
