Sitting on the Skyline side, they were in a flux about "whitey" getting the benefit of the doubt. After the game the Skyline fans were screaming across the way, while the Southlake band played.

Skyline screwed up catching the onside kick IMO, so I don't understand what all the beef was about.

The Skyline side had a legitimate beef although not for the reason they were saying. Their complaint was the kickers touched the ball before it went 10 yards. While there is one video from one angle that "seems" to support that, all the other videos and angles support the call on the field which is the ball was touched by the kickers just after it went 10 yards.

The issue they did not even pick up on is that the kickers were blocking the receivers well in front of the ball and well before they (kickers) were eligible to touch the ball. That is a foul under NCAA rules which was not called here.

Kickers were allowed to keep the ball and they proptly went 50 yards in a few plays to score the go ahead TD at the end of the game.
