I honestly dont know what our score was but we lost to Lum-W (PNG-P) After the head coach was tossed by the ref due to Lumberton having no clue how to run a league and the ref having an attitude problem we had no chance. I hope and pray we see Lum-W again in the playoffs.
Lumberton really needs to quit taking money from these people who pay to play when it is obvious they dont invest it. We played on a field that was mostly dirt, hadnt been mowed. Every weekend they mess the schedules are messed up.
Our game was scheduled for 12. We were notified at 10 AM our game had been moved to 10:30.
We scrambled to get our kids there safely. We had most there by 11. At 11:03 the head ref came over and said we would start at 11:15. 2 minutes later another ref, tall guy with tats and beard came over and basically threatened that he was starting the game now then popped off when we explained the situation that we had people there so there was no excuse for the others.
Our coach gets upset and is thrown out. So then we get our kids ready, captains lined up and after all that drama Lumberton was allowed to THEN send their kids to the endzone to run through a sign (which our kids were not allowed to do) then kneel for a prayer, then do a pregame dance all while we are waiting. No griping from the ref. Nothing about hurrying up.
We timed Lumberton in the huddle. 52 seconds on average with some plays taking over a minute. No flags. We stop them on 4th down, bearded ref throws a flag. Every single time.
Just a sad day when kids pay the price for an unorganized league and ref with an attitude.
(Full disclosure I am not the head coach of PNG Purple)
