wow! that is soo weak! how do you take a team this close to going to state and eject there QB for this. Football is an emotional game, ESPECIALLY this deep in the playoffs. seems unfair and i hope whoever can right this wrong,gets it done!

Same old story! Years ago when I went to Century High we always had to fight to win not just the game but the officials too! Seems like our schools on the northend gets the bad end of everything! Our boys have fought hard to get where they are and to let false accusations take it away is just disgusting. Give our kids a fair chance like every other school gets for petes sake!!!!!!!! Go Chiefs show them that they cannot knock you down you are way better than this!!!!!!!!

Im official of the sport of football and I had a chance to ref a Northview game. I think they players are respectful and well coached. Football is an aggressive sport and the kids taunt each other every play. But this call was unnessacary. The ref that flagged the player for this should turn in his whistle. LET THE KID PLAY.

Question did the Offical ever go to the field and make an annouce an offical ruling? I wasn’t there so it is just something I thought had to be done.

There is no evidence of misconduct, but there is evidence of an agenda. I think simple communication and reasoning, is the key resolving this matter. I am sure emotions are high, but a clear head, focus and resolve are a must.

I have a question for anyone that can or will answer it. Who called this “man” a offical?
It seems this “man” is as inept as the fhsaa.

Let the kid play.

kindof can see what the ref seen.. i was looking at #8 and when he crossed the line he was looking down at the player in a stance as if “get up now” kindof stance…..then it appears his players are nudging him to walk away. so i hope this video is not the one seen by whoever to overturn. BUT, then it also looks like he is waiting for the guy to release his leg. problem is was his lips moving that the ref seen. ref couldnt hear him for sure being a yard or so back but he could see the lips moving???????????? whatever they have 11 other players plus many more on the sidelines wanting to play.. and a back up quarter back. so good luck to you guys make many many memories

I am sorry but he should have got a penalty. Any time you stand over a player starring at them like he did you will get a flag. The Freeport player did not hold on to his feet as long as it seems. The dropping the ball was just icing on the cake.

The Ref should be suspended for that call! How rediculous.

I can see where the refs would have considered this as taunting by the way the player holds his arms out and looks down on the player. However, I do not feel that the quarterback was taunting the other player, he was just waiting for him to let go of his legs.

Go Chiefs!
