MC has slid a bit from where they were. Remember Knotts coached in that area a long time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bormio Posted August 19, 2018 Report Share Posted August 19, 2018 Charlotte Observer says NC rules prevent teams playing on Sunday. Mallard Creek would have had to stop at 11:59. Also Mallard Creek plays Butler next Friday - apparently they mixed a Monday game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boy named Sue Posted August 19, 2018 Report Share Posted August 19, 2018 Game wont be rescheduled. NC teams forbiden to play past midnight. Wanted to drive to DF to play today but if a NC team plays on Sunday they lose their playoff rights. monday was offered but 3 day recovery and lost prep time for Butler plus a 2 hour drive for families on a workday really would have gutted the gate. NC is just a disaster when it comes to football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In spite of my ribbing you guys, I liked y'all to win this one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In spite of my ribbing you guys, I liked y'all to win this one. Think DF should have been favored. Knotts is Knotts and South CArolina is always ahead of North CArolina early in the season. They are in pads much earlier and have more practice hours. That said I like the PAlmieri really challenges his teams early on in the season and I know for a fact they were ready to play. BAsed on the 10 minutes I saw of warm ups they looked very equal physically. Think it would have been a good game and maybe a classic. Sadly the NCHSAA just continues to embarrass themselves when it comes to prep football. People traveled from all over both states to watch this game and they wouldnt adjust the rules for what would have been maybe 45 minutes into a Sunday. DF travels from Columbia, gets there at 4:30-5:00 and never play. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btango Posted August 19, 2018 Report Share Posted August 19, 2018 Posted this on a SC site. Game was cancelled due to the NCHSAA Director told the MC AD on a phone call with all interested parties around him that the game must be halted at 11:59 am. NOTE that I am not sure if the 11:59 is because the next day is Sunday which NC has a rule against Sunday play. (DISCLAIMER: The NCHSAA will allow when it benefits them as it has three different years for state title games.) If I am paying a director nearly $150,000 a year plus benefits I expect them to be able to make a call in a special circumstance such as this. I am pretty sure that neither coach wanted to do a scrimmage type event. Iknow MC coach wanted to play a full game as did Knotts. Yes, DF made the offer to play the game Monday at Dutch Fork. I agree 100% with Mallard Creek not doing that as they play their biggest rival, Butler, Friday night, and Butler looked really good in the first game at Memorial. Playing a physical team like DF takes its toll and three days recovery would not be doing what is best for his team.As a fan I am disappointed. I put a lot of effort to be back in the area for the game. As a person that has worked with high school football for years I am embarrassed. This was a unique circumstance and the decision that was made did not take into account the positives or potential negatives. This is the rule. Is ending the game at 11:59 going to be really different than 12:59 am? No. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
