In your play, team A had control and the ball that was in FC, ball gained BC status when it bounced in the BC (ok so far), it was last touched by A1 prior to it gaining BC status (ok so far), then team A was the next team to touch the ball...anywhere...frontcourt or backcourt.....violation.

The only difference in Mark's play was that it hit the official in the BC....which is exactly the same as hitting the floor in the BC. Otherwise, the two plays are identical.

Ok, thanks for the clarification

Hey, 2 touchdowns and the PATs and it's 21-20; need to make it 3 scores to be safe!

Just got home from working a 5th grade girls game with Juulie. She whacked the home team coach in the 2nd quarter for just generally mouthing off. That wasn't the highlight of the game though - it was that the visiting team had an OOB play called "weasel"! How cool is that. :cool:

Mark, why didn't you whack A1 for throwing the ball at the official and give B FTs? Or was the other team down 2 with time winding down? :cool: :D

A local jr. high girls team has one called "Bubba."
