Yesterday was the windiest day of football I can ever remember seeing. Anyone got anything worth sharing from their game involving the wind?
At Batavia yesterday, Batavia was averaging roughly 5 yards a punt. So, they scrapped punting all together and went for it every fourth down…even deep in their own territory. Their last punt attempt came with them on their own 1yd line w about 1min before half. A few of us were discussing just taking a safety as they were probably about to give Hersey the ball on the 10yd line. A bad snap resulted in a safety.
On Batavia‘s ensuing KO the ball went 12 yards in the air and bounced back to Batavia and they retained the ball. Never seen that happen before. Hersey would have had the ball on the 50, with the wind and a minute on the clock w all the momentum. Instead Batavia ran out the clock.
Which reminds me, is that the right call? Ball hit 12 yards in front of the KOR team. KO team didn’t touch it and KOR team recovered it at 8 yards. Legal?
