My game was a 21-20 win for the home team.
The home team scored a TD with :58 left in the game which had them up 21-14. The visiting team took back the kick off to the home team's 20 yard line. Then they run a screen pass to the right side and the RB just would not go down and gets the ball just inside the 5 yard line. This was home of the most amazing runs I have ever seen. He broke at least 5 good tackles and made about 5 others miss. Great run.
Then on an incomplete pass I call a roughing the passer penalty on a defender that dove at the QB's legs and contacted him below the knee. The ball was long gone and was an easy call. We move the ball up half the distance on the next play. They ran a QB sneak and got in. It gets better, they go for two. They ran the ball to the kid that just made the amazing run I talked about. On the run he did not make it to the end zone by about a half of a yard. It was resonate of the Super Bowl game with the Rams and Titans a few years ago. There was still about 20 seconds or so on the clock. They tried an onside kick and fail to recover the ball. Game over.
It was also a very hot night and we had to take many water breaks over the course of the game. This had to be one of the most humid games I have worked in recent history. We had a few kids stop the game because of cramps. It was brutal. Our crew worked well together and we had little or not major mistakes. I do not know the final number, but we had probably 25 or more penalties. We had everything from a hit after an awarded fair catch on a kick off to several illegal motion penalties on both sides.
Great game and I had a lot of fun. That is why we are here.

I was in IL last night working a game between 2 7A schools.
Visiting team plays with a 5 receiver set with the QB lined up 8 yards deep in a scrimmage kick formation. Except that's what the coach said and I noticed that most of the game the QB was only about 6 yards deep.
LH quarterback, which was strange for this R.
Hot, hot, hot. Lots of cramps, and we had water out every chance we could.
I have some stats for the varsity game:
The visiting QB was 22-for-34 for 267 yards passing with 2 TDs and 1 INT. Â*In the first half.
It was 20-20 at halftime.
In the second half he threw four interceptions, two returned for TDs. Â*Final score 48-20, home team. Â*Final passing yards for visitors — 317. Â*Some adjustments were made.
The sophomore game was played the same way by the visiting team. 36-36 final. The clock failed during the sophomore game and we kept time on the field for the first quarter.
These were the two longest games I ever worked. We started the soph game on time at 5:30 and walked off the field at 11:40PM.
After stopping for a few pops, I dropped the three local guys from my crew off and walked in the door at 4:15AM. Slept from 5AM until about 2 this afternoon.
Some minor problems, mostly related to the fact that we were working together for maybe the 3rd or 4th time as a crew, but we certainly didn't affect the game. And I was impressed with the crew handling such a passing attack so well.
We had 4-5 defensive pass interference flags and I had a bunch of flags myself in the second half — holding, block in the back, 5-yard face mask, illegal formation (24 played guard when the visiting team failed to execute a substitution properly and they were NOT in a scrimmage kick formation), 2 personal fouls after plays, plus one personal foul for a roughing the passer.
Next week I stay in WI and work two teams that will (likely) primarily run the football. And I only have a varsity game on Friday, not a DH.
