I decided to take the 2 hour drive northwest. Sloped grass field, good crowds, hopefully it’s a good one

As someone who has no skin in this game, I have to say the officiating at the end of the game cost Reed Custer big time. A holding call that should have been made by the linesman because it was right in front of him was made by the back judge on the other side of the field. Obviously, the linesman did not see a hold otherwise he would have thrown the flag. Then a second holding call on the defense moved the ball deeper into RC territory. Then the touchdown is signaled by the head linesman who didn't run in right away to see if the ball broke the plane. It took almost 10 seconds for the signal. This crew was too old, out of shape and out of position on too many plays. I don't know who assigns playoff games but they need to do a better job. Officials should not be deciding these games.

Offer to become one. We can use plenty
 
I really, really thought about making the trip to Byron, I just knew it would be a great one.
 
Can someone explain why Byron head coach kick an extra point when up 4 with 20 seconds or so left on the clock. Is it not an absolute no brainer to go for 2. Moot point but just saying

Simple story. RC has better talent. Byron has much better coaching. Talent couldn’t beat coaching here today. Be interesting to see if Braidwood coaches stick around

Sometimes in the past I thought the OC gets a little too fancy from time to time. I didn’t see a ton of that today, but I definitely thought I’d see a few deep balls to 6. I thought RC had an advantage there. I like the RPO stuff but not to the short side as much. It was evident that Byron wasn’t gonna let the QB run it, but as a whole the RC offense was ok.
The biggest problems were pass coverage and losing the turnover battle. They also had a few high snaps at unfortunate times that messed up the play. Just really sucks for them losing to the same team in the same exact manner.
