[W.I.R.]

I have read on here for years about bad officiating in the Pit, but the officiating tonight was downright embarrassing, two officials clearly had a vendetta against Franklin, in fact it was so bad the Franklin coaches said the official on the Franklin sideline basically apologized to the coaches. How bad was it? Swain had 1 offsetting penalty called and no penalty yards, while Franklin had 14 perfectally times penalties that stopped several drives and had two awfully blatant ball spots that weren't even close.. We had the Asheville association last week and they were great. No more Southwestern officials

Smoky mountian conf officials are by far the poorest and least professional in the state and it starts with the booking agent
