Completed pass?

This is from a high school game in Marquette, MI. On the link, click on the video on the bottom labeled "November 17 High School Football Playoffs".

Check out the passing play that starts at around the 5:06 mark on the video. The pass was called complete.

Ouch

Although the video is small and not all that clear, I have an incomplete pass.

I agree with the TV guy, "they called that a catch? You've got to be kidding me!" Even the reaction of the player is telling you he didn't catch it. I'd be getting a few officials together to discuss that one. Sure doesn't look like a catch to me.

WOW!! Not a good call from the footage that I saw. The player even said it all.

Well, maybe it looked like a catch? After all, you only need to possess the ball in the end zone for it to be a catch and immediately become dead.

Maybe the camera was operating in slow motion and in real motion the receiver had control of the ball long enough.

In reality, the call really looks bad.

Hope this crew is not doing the state finals this week end.
