Still have to look back at the final score and wonder what the outcome would have been if that horrible call was not made in the first half.

No matter what kind of calls were made throughout this game it was still 48 minutes of football, where the better team has to face adversity and rise above it and the bulldogs played the better game and deserved this win.

Awesome win and a great game well played! It’s nice when credit is given and good playing is recognized! It was a game well played on both sides of the ball. Southern gave us a run down to the last second. But the Tri-Valley Offense could not be stopped (almost 500 yards!)and the Black Swarm D played a great game and stepped up BIG when needed. GO DAWGS!

I agree again a great game, tri valley deserved to win, sca fought to the end, it is a shame the officials felt necessary to have an impact on a game played by kids. i mean its not like snyder would’ve made the 40 yd attempt, he did make a 42 yd fg earlier in the season, but not with that kind of pressure. I agree the assisting the runner call was bogus because it never gets called, even though it is in the rules. i also saw the officials hand go up for a TD and 2 seconds later the flag came, so even if he was pushed it was after he already broke the goal line. the convenient holding call was poor too. I would like to know what district those officials were in during the season. anyway, sca didn’t lose the game because of those 2 calls, they lost because they couldn’t stop tri valleys offense in the 2nd half. give credit to the tri valley coaches for preparing a great game plan and for the players who executed it almost flawlessly.

Just like the game at North Schuykill’s stadium ten years ago, or some of the games back in the 80’s, this was a fun game to watch. Both teams showed a “no quit” attitude right up to the very end. It was just ashame that the officials felt the need to inject their influence, especially at the very end, taking away BJ Snyder’s opportunity to tie it with a field goal, by a convenient holding call, taking SC out of range.

It was a great battle to the end. Taking nothing away from a very good Tri Valley, who did a great job with handling a school whos’ history speaks for itself but, ASSISTING THE RUNNER, you have got to be kidding. When was the last time anyone saw that call being made? The official must have been up all night Thursday looking in his manual for loopholes in football officiating.

I really enjoyed your write-up, and you are right about one major thing…A better game of high school football is seldom seen…IT WAS JUST AWESOME…I am so proud of our boys…Tri Valley never gets enough recognition by the media or people in general, and I want to personally thank you for the coverage…
