Poor decision in Peewee game today.

[pirate68]

I  saw this happen today in a game at Vidor.The score was 12 to 0 with under a minute to play.The losing team was not using timeouts to try and get the ball back but the winning team used all 3 of theirs to try and score again.Since the tie breaker for the playoffs is points allowed I saw no need for this with 8 year olds.JMO

I can understand your comment, but possibly the coach of the winning team was not aware of the tie-breaker system; however, the losing team's coach SHOULD have been calling time-outs to allow his team a chance to better the score on his kid's behalf.  Hopefully all of the kids had fun.  That is more important than anything.

So thats why two of the Vidor Coaches didn't shake hands with us. The timeouts were not to try and score again. We lost our QB a week ago and had to completely restructure. Up until this game we had not had one fumble. We lost 4 fumbles with 2 due to bad handoffs. The second half of the game we played a different QB ever other snap. We were just trying to get the 4 different boys that were playing QB as many snaps as possible so we could decide who we wanted to go with from here on out! If it would have been a blow out the timeouts would not have been called, 12-0 is not a blow out. Sorry if you got your feelings hurt, we were just trying to get ready for next week. Either way you have a good team and it was a very good game. And number 11 is a very special player for you. Good luck with the rest of your season.

I can understand if the score was 30-0 but 12-0 is a close game a fumble,  interception in the last seconds can change a game. I saw two games last year won in the last 30 seconds. I dont think the other team was being mean or unsportmanlike. This is football anything can change at the last seconds.

[/quote]I did not get my feelings hurt....I am not associated with either team. IMO..When the losing team does not wish to stop thw clock with under a minute to play the winning team should not try to tack on another score unless it is the tiebreaker to get his team in the playoffs or for playoff seeding. This is JMO and these things use to be done under the guidelines of sportsmanship.I guess times have changed.

Look P'68.  I think the coach of the other team explained himself.  No harm, no foul, no unsportsmanlike behavior.  Someone should tell the other team they should use timeouts to try and score at least once.  Learning to struggle and score is good for the kids to learn...don't ever just lay down!

The kids forgot it five min. after the game.  ICECREAM!.... Cure all.
