Clinton vs Bunn...NCHSAA Apology

The NCHSAA issued an apology to Clinton Admin this week related to the ending of the game against Bunn. The apology was for ALL 6 officials failing to flag Bunn for a VERY obvious illegal procedure on the spike play. Although the clock hit :00, the officials decided to put :01 back on the clock. Since they decided to put time back on the clock, Bunn should have been penalized 5 yards for the illegal procedure as they had multiple players not set when the ball was snapped. As soon as the ball was moved back 5 yards and marked ready for play, the ref would have blown the whistle to start the clock. The center would have to time the snap perfectly with the whistle in order to snap the ball before the :01 expired.

Putting :01 back on the clock after it expired was also very questionable, but after reviewing several different angles, it is a lot closer than some think. There isn't enough video evidence to prove this one 100% either way, so it is what it is. The illegal procedure isn't debatable and I, along with countless others, feel as if Clinton should be representing the East this Saturday night. The apology can only give so much closure to something the players/coaches/fans feel was taken from them.

With that said, good luck to Bunn! Represent the East well.

Well theres 8 minutes to go and Shelby is leading 50-13

Coach G from Kinston said they were going to STOP the Rush and the Pass.... Didn't quite work out...

Anyway, they have a very athletic defensive front, but they are no match for the Speed of Shelby

Congrats Kinston on a great season

NC has 2 Parade All-America Football POY candidates

There are only 10 candidates for Parade Magazine's National Football Player of the Year Award. For North Carolina to have one would be a big deal in itself. However, both Chazz Surratt of East Lincoln and Rico Dowdle from AC Reynolds are among the finalists. Only California has two nominees as well.

This announcement comes on the heels of Surratt being named 2015-2016 Gatorade NC Player of the Year and Dowdle getting a spot on the NC Shrine Bowl team.

Congratulations to them both and hopefully one of them will receive this honor.
