Great weather and a great rivary played out with a packed house. SoCo shows why they are a great program.It is just a shame to watch the apposing crowd leave when the chips are down. Mr. Rankin has shown poise beyond his years on the field and has been a part of Blooms continued success.If a fan has this thought, what do you think the kids on the field feel like as they look up from the huddle to see a stream of people and cars leaving.

I read through these articles every week to catch up on all the scores. I feel this article was very one sided, being on SoCo side. About the refs making bad calls and about the chop block comment. Very disrespectful. Shawn Weller should not be writing these if this is how it is going to be.

“Only some timely help form the guys in black and white would enable Bloomsburg to put points on the board in the first half. A picture-perfect defensive play was called interference by an official well away from the play, despite another official having a plain view of it… a short pass was allowed to go for 23 yards to the Southern five despite a blatant hold in front of the play… only a 14-7 lead for the Tigers… Somehow the score was tied at 14 mid-way through the third quarter.”

You’re quite the biased writer Mr. Weller. Way to give Bloomsburg’s kids absolutely no credit in sticking with this game. Up until Thomas’ 70 yard run, this game was a tied-up dandy with both teams of kids playing great football. By the unnecessary negative tone of your article I would have assumed Bloom won the game via a penalty call.

Great game by both Bloom and Southern. It’s a shame we won’t see it again in playoffs!
