Bridge City 42 Silsbee 41/FINAL

[Callaway7]

Wait they put a second back on the clock after a defensive penalty as time expired ?

[ST413]

I think that ft try wasn't a that bad a decision.  You have one play. Yes Tyler can get it there we know that. But that's tough to try a 25 yd run.   As far as a throw....we haven't been real consistent and Barnes was having shoulder or arm problems.  So it was not a real good chance either way.  As far as trying to kick.  He has shown he has the leg. He was struggling tonight.  But give him a chance to be a hero and show him you have confidence and try to build his.  I really couldnt argue with either call. Sure I understand the reasoning that we were having a bad kicking night but with 2 seconds left anything was just taking a shot.

Actually I think the clock stopped with the flag but it was an offensive penalty.

[RoschonsBigBro]

Shouldn't have  came down to that...  If you milk that clock right, BC would've had much time to score.

Yes, Brogan Brown punted in the first quarter out of bounds to about the Silsbee 28.

Yes I corrected myself a little farther down, still don't remember it but I remembered turning the ball over when we had a chance to get up by two scores.

[Callaway7]

Technically half can't end on accepted penalty but time is never put back to prevent no more than one play unless another penalty happens.

I know that the quarter can't end on a penalty, that a why time was put back on the clock. But in the Silsbee run outbid bounds  .  the clock was supposed to stop, but it didn't .  it went from 45 seconds to 20 seconds.  even after a meeting, they still didn't add that time to the clock, even though it was apparent that they goofed up.. 

[CardinalBacker]

I had a bad angle on the play in which they didn't stop the clock after the Silsbee Rb made it out of bounds. I wondered if he might have been moving slightly backwards and the refs gave him forward progress instead. 

It looked like a stoppage was due from where I was sitting.

Yep, if I remember correctly, y'all fumbled in the first or second play after that punt. Anyways, awesome game to watch.

EXACTLY!

[ST413]

The only way they shouldn't have stopped it is if his forward progress had been stopped and the play ended by a whistle.  It looked from our side like he just ran out of bounds,. In that case the clock should have stopped.  That 20 seconds could have been dangerous.

He didn't get tackled.  he just ran out of bounds... had the coach's seen that he didn't make it out of bounds, they wouldn't have let the clock tick 20 seconds, they would've called a time out.  I think they had 2 left...

[ST413]

Yes instead 20 seconds ran off then we called the time out.

In the second quarter, the BC rb ran out of bounds with 45 seconds left.  Clock mysteriously kept running untill it was to 20 seconds.  Clock is supposed to stop when out of bounds, right?  Refs huddle, come back, and no extra time on the clock.  But on that same drive, silsbee get a holding call with 0 seconds left, but you DO put 1 second back on the clock...  Smh

The runner was whistled down when he was held up in bounds.  When the whistle blew, he was released and then ran out of bounds.  It was confusing, though.....  Great game!

That kid wasn't held up.  he ran out of bounds.  he knew the situation.  But you're right.  good game.  Horrible refs, but good game...

[rhino1877]

The officiating was bad both ways. Neither team deserved to lose this game. Both left everything on the field! 

[STiger85]

If some of you think a district championship doesn't mean much any more because of four teams going to the playoffs, try telling it to Silsbee and Bridge City tonight. Not saying the winner will win district, but both teams knew what was on the line with a win and a loss with only two games left. This was a good game, both teams left everything on the field, you really hated to see a team lose. Good luck the rest of the season. TigerNation

This game didn't disappoint.  After halfway through the second half, u know the last team with the ball would win. Couple of thoughts...

Drapper is an animal and is hard to bring down and #5 for BC has deceptive wheels.

Silsbee's speed was on display...  Tyler, Lowe, Barnes, and Jones.

Big play for the BC WR catching on the district's best CB like that (Newton).

Next time you play a wing-t team, you gotta hit the runners hard and make them 'tippytoe' throught the hole...Silsbee's second to last drive, more clock should've been.  I was telling people around me that.  Run 2 stupid dives with the fullback 1st and 2nd down.  Then run a good play in 3rd down.

Second to last drive for Silsbee, one play , Jones needed to stay inbounds and he ran out of bounds.  Gotta keep your head  in the game, Son.

In the second quarter, the BC rb ran out of bounds with 45 seconds left.  Clock mysteriously kept running untill it was to 20 seconds.  Clock is supposed to stop when out of bounds, right?  Refs huddle, come back, and no extra time on the clock.  But on that same drive, silsbee get a holding call with 0 seconds left, but you DO put 1 second back on the clock...  Smh

The blatant pass interference in the first half half on the deep pass to Barnes...  No call.  Horrible.

Tyler averaged almost 10 ypc all year and this game was no exception.  You score that 2 points.  Downturn coach not hear us all. Scream go for 2?  You score there, you force BC to score a TD and worse case scenario, you go to OT.

Our kicking game has been on and off all year....  Why do we trust the kicker with a 36 yard FG with that much pressure?

Barnes' second time this year fumbling after the catch because the ball is held like a loaf of bread.

I wonder if the coach knew this game was gonna be a game of possessions?  BC scored last in second half.  You knew they'd get the ball back in the second half...  They did and drove right down and scored.  

#5 CB for Silsbee, you're one of the best CB's in the state.  You dint let a no name kid catch that long TD in you.

BC still has Huffman and Navasota left.  Keep grinding and you can share that district title, Tigers...

On the runner going out bounds with the clock still running. I believe the runner was stopped by forward progress prior to going out of bounds, keeping the clock on the move. That's the explanation I got.

If that were the case, the Silsbee Staff would've called a timeout sooner, which the eventually did...

Now as far as the game.  Congratulations BC on a well earned win.  That offense does just what it is designed to do eat up yards and time.  And you definitely have a more speed than I thought. I thought we would at least get a few stops but other than the one we must have had early on we didn't stop you all night. 

Overall this was a game that you really hate to see anyone lose.  Really the only stops were two turnovers.  The difference in this game definitely wasn't the offense or the defense.  And really only one part of the special teams...the kicker.  BCs kicker made every one we missed 3 of 4 extra points.  We did get two 2 PT conversions to cover for a couple of misses but that last one cost us.  And in all fairness to our kicker on that one it really wasn't his fault.  The snap was high and he had to take a stutter step before going on with the kick. That will definitely mess you up.

 And yes this year it definitely is obvious of the officiating shortage/ problem.  I saw some missed calls both ways, naturally I remember mostly the ones that cost us but I did notice some both ways.  I didn't really get to see the interference call that most feel was missed but I did notice a player making motions towards the Tiger sideline that could have drawn a flag.  I also have to wonder why on the first possession of the second half, when BC ran for the first and got the unsportsmanlike, why wasn't it first and 25 like a similar situation in an earlier game.  Want that a dead ball foul after the play?  I don't feel or am not saying in any way that this was the reason we lost but sure would like to see a little better officiating overall.

You know you have always heard if you can't stop a team you can't win, well tonight that was proven true on one side but false on the other.

I'm almost certain that any unsportsmanlike penalties are automatic first down. Not 100% but that is really the only explanation.

Maybe that's the difference maybe the other 15 yd penalty wasn't.   Not sure I can't remember if it was unsportsmanlike for sure.  Just know it was a dead ball 15 yd penalty so they awarded the first  down placed the chains and then marked off 15 so ir was 1st and 25
