Memorable Game ...

Over forty years for me. Only once observed a "from the get go" slow down game, a varsity game after my junior varsity game. Completely over matched small school against a big city school. Small school did lose, but gave itself a chance with a final score that ended up in the teens. Everybody in the stands was on the edge of their seats for the entire game.

Small school coach's son coached a state championship team last year. His dad passed many years ago. I spoke to the son at our referee banquet last year. He remembers that game, his older brother played in that game, and it was one of their best memories of their father coaching.
