Monticello 23-20 final

[Sterling Warrior]

Please tell me someone else saw this

I randomly started watching it because some other games were just getting over, I tuned in right when Monticello was driving with 3 min left in the game, I was amazed with their QB throwing darts all the way down field to score with 6 seconds left. Then the ending was unreal with the one second left Hail Mary touchdown by Unity, then called back on penalty and game over! Monticello deserved to win that game with that drive they had and kept getting penalties moved back but still moved forward. To score, great passes by quarterback truly impressed with him.

What DrMac is saying is the crew got another ‘last play of the game’ wrong again. While the penalty for an ineligible player downfield was most likely flagged correctly, enforcement of the penalty was incorrect. The pass was caught in the end zone…if the defense declines, the catch counts and the game is over…if the defense accepts the penalty for an ineligible, then the offense gets one untimed down, because Ineligible Downfield is NOT a Loss of Down penalty.
So they gave Plainfield North an unwarranted extra play on a loss of down penalty and took one away from Unity.
