[quote name="robanadana" post="1319355" timestamp="1352000636"] Right now our rivalry is with the officials... [/quote] Couldn't have said if better m'self rob.

[quote name="RaiderGirl92" post="1319414" timestamp="1352001868"] I so want to go to this game but im sure vidor's side will havent no tickets left =/ [/quote] You could always get one, or have someone pick you one up during the presale.

Can you please turn the caps off. You are hurting my eyes.

[quote name="Chris17" post="1318983" timestamp="1351987927"] Can someone turn down the scoreboard pls [/quote] The Butch board has only one setting...on.

I thought Vidor had a rivalry with Ned?

[/quote] My nephew had players spitting in his face, on two different occasions players grabbing his privates and twisting during the game. Then during the hand shakes afterwards another player spit in his face. Beyond the point of trashy and horrible sportsmanship. As stated earlier this team does not belong with the rest of 20-4A! [/quote]Why don't you quit lying that is what the vidor players were doing, I was at the game and I will at least tell the truth, Vidor is one of the dirtyest teams I have ever seen, the Livingston players got tired of it and started playing dirty too, The refs were terrible, but in your favor, I knew when they called the touchdown back when it was defensive pass interferance that they refs were going to call it for Vidor, not only that but your players were using the N word and over on Livingston sideline giving our coaches the finger and cursing them. Your Fans were trying to attack our players after the game and the police in your town were in the face of our players instead of doing their job of protecting our players on their way off the field. If Livingston had done that to any team I would be ashame. Now that is the truth, I could say a lots more that happen but I will leave it at that, because there is always two sides to a story. I'm not going to justify Livingston and you sure can't justify Vidor, the whole night was a disgrace to High School Football. [/quote] i usually just come on here and read all the opinions about the games...but this one i just couldnt stay away from....you have to be kidding me...the play that started all this was actually on the channel 6 sports show last night...you can clearly see #14 taunting our QB after he had just be given the flag...in fact when it happened live we actually thought he was walking over to our coaches to say he was sorry until we realized he was taunting...which he continued to do the entire game...great player and i don't blame him...the coaches should have pulled him after maybe like the 5th time he taunted our players and fans...i think it worked against him because it only fired the players and the fans up....the last Go Pirates Go chant was prolly the loudest i have ever heard and it was all do to his actions...now football is football and being a former player you get all kinds of extra stuff on the field...no doubt...but tonight one guy was too obvious and it hurt his team... [/quote]I agree there is no place for taunting, or any thing outside of playing the game. But then again, [b]these are kids[/b], we as adults make mistakes as well but because we have made so many of them, time should bring about wisdom. Let's hope all this that happen do the same for these kids, yet the bottom line is the refs should have flaged him, that would have put a stop to it, I hope on that we can agree.  [/quote]absolutely agree with you  Trocket if the officials get control of the game right there  i believe  none of the other things afterwards would  have taken place. Instead we ended up with a no holds barred WWE event. [/quote] [b]Let's hope the refs start taking charge of the games because playoffs are coming and we don't need all this extra stuff happening outside of the game[/b]. I'm looking forward to seeing good teams play good playoff football. Good luck to you all! [/quote]I think when it comes playoff time. Most of the refs do a pretty good job of controlling the games. [/quote]You're right [/quote] Correct me if I'm wrong but don't they normally use college officials for playoffs or is it the higher caliber high school officials? And Soulja technically their was no way for Vidor not to be in the playoffs but on paper they weren't.

[quote name="BMTSoulja1" post="1318383" timestamp="1351947557"] I wish I were at this game.  It's unlike either team to act like this, especially since obviously, BOTH team are already in the playoffs even before the kickoff.  I've seen Collins play 3 years and counting, on both the gridiron and on the hardwood.  See never  Quirante and the Pirates play all the time.  Vidor's players and staff is the classiest around.  I know this first hand.  So, the actions of Livingston  with the spitting and Vidor with the same thing and the N word is so not these teams.  I wish I knew what fueled this or if all of this is even true.  Good luck on BOTH teams in the playoffs. [/quote] Vidor was not in the playoffs before this game but still does not excuse either team of their actions.

I think we can all agree that this catastrophe could've been avoided if the officials would have used preventative officiating rather than a poor excuse of reactionary officiating. They became spectators of the game.

I'm with you on this one Coach C. You want to go into post season play on a high note with a lot of momentum. I don't the coaching staff holding anything back during the beginning of this game. Pull the dogs off after you have a comfortable lead, if we get one.

I have said this time and time again, Coach Mathews is one of the classiest guys I know. He never stops fighting for equal calls and his, as well as others, players safety. I have yet to see another coach beat him to an injured player whether it be one of his own or an opposing player. That alone speaks volumes for him.

Vidor scored 66 on them and I can honestly say even being down by that much those boys still played to the last whistle. My hat is off to that group of young men.

I commend those dedicated men and women who manage, moderate, and post on this site. I may not post or comment a lot but I check site practically everyday to get my HS football fix. Y'all are doing a wonderful job. Keep up the good work.
