Controversial end to Damascus-Walkerville

[Waggle Pass]

The "Game Of The Century" ended up 7-3, Damascus, but apparently they had 12 men on the field when they scored the winning td. Flags were thrown, but waved off.

Well, if Overleigh was forced to give up their win, shouldn't that take some precedence here ? It was illegal, albeit a different type of violation

Holy crap! The Walkersville ppl should be pissed!

I understand completely, FH got robbed during a playoff game at Damascus on a phantom hold that never happened on a screen play where fh would have been first and goal. The game turned on the next play and we lost...don't ever think you'll get a fair shot at Damascus.

TD, you went to the Damascus-Walkersville. What is your summary? A guy that is not affiliated with either DMass or Walkersville was texting me from there and said it was a wild arena but there was home-cooking going on.

The guy I know said two refs threw flags. The. They talked it over and said there were only 11 on the field.

Isn't that also an illegal formation? It looks like five guys in the backfield. Of course, with 12 guys on the field, I guess that still means seven were on the line of scrimmage. These refs should be suspended. And people on here blow up because Jimmy Holler said the word "flag."

that sounds like an interesting conversation, "i saw 11" "i saw 12", let's do rock paper scissors.

Two different refs apparently saw it and threw a flag. Someone had to overturn the call.

"After the officiating mistake marred what Polce called the “championship-caliber” matchup on Friday, he called for the MPSSAA to end its four-division playoff structure and move to a 16-team format, which would’ve had the Hornets and Lions — the state’s top two 2A teams in its point rankings — potentially meeting in the state championship instead."
