HawgGoneIt Posted April 10, 2018 Report Share Posted April 10, 2018 The GHSA voted to add an additional on the field ref and dropping one chain gang ref to offset cost. Instant replay never even came up for a vote. Not sure what good an additional ref will do if the with the best view doesn't step in and override the bad call like we saw in the Peach County debacle at the Benz last year. I don't have a link because I can't find one yet. Just saw it on my local news so you'll have to trust me until a link becomes available. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is made up of all of the schools and each school has a regional representative on the board that they select. It is not some thrust on us from above type of situation. If enough people/schools feel it is important, the rules can be changed. So your statement effectively read we are screwing ourselves again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chalmetteowl Posted April 10, 2018 Report Share Posted April 10, 2018 I don't believe any level of high school football should use instant replay... The same rules have to be in effect for all games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the joto rab ga hsfb is = to the NFL and was praising how only ga can afford and will have instant replay in all the state title games.

Columbiafan Posted April 11, 2018 Report Share Posted April 11, 2018 If the equipment can be provided state wide to do it i don't see why not It's a travesty when a team gets screwed on a bad call, why not use something that protects the integrity of the game and not have a situation where bad calls cost a team the game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawgGoneIt Posted April 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2018 I don't think it was seriously discussed. Idk. Had it been instituted, it would probably have been Championship games only anyway, because those are the only guaranteed t.v. games each year.

Fred Posted April 11, 2018 Report Share Posted April 11, 2018 "Integrity of the game" is an interesting concept as applied to this. Part of the game is live calls from refs on the spot. I don't think the calls impact the integrity of the game, more that they are another part or dimension of the game. We've been on the raw end of calls before that impacted us in the playoffs so I'm not saying this as someone that hasn't been impacted. I just think no matter the sport, if there are live refs that is just part and parcel of the way the game goes. Note that I'm not saying there aren't bad calls nor am I saying that they don't impact games because sometimes they do. I'm just saying that they happen and that's just part of the game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but if you can fix bad calls then what's the harm? Nothing is perfect but it would be beneficial in my opinion to allow a opportunity to fix a bad call Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUFORDGAWOLVES Posted April 11, 2018 Report Share Posted April 11, 2018 There’s an old saying I like using when I coached. Don’t let the game go to the refs, control the controllables. Mental toughness extra effort. MTXE 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about when the team playing your favorite HS team gets robbed? Replay is something HS budgets can't support to have available at EVERY game. We have teams with inflatable tunnels and sky cams and teams that just bring one Gatorade cooler and 20 fans playing in the same classification.

Call a fair game down the middle.... no special treatment for the teams involved. I do think instant replay should be available in semifinal and championship games tho.

Yep, ikr? I got from my JUCO coach, Coach Jim Voight had it midway up wall all around the locker room and I would look at it and think the SAME damn thing. It works, it sticks with you.

HawgGoneIt Posted April 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2018 Calls like the Peach County call are worse than bad though. This ref, bless his heart, better not ever grace another varsity game. He doesn't belong, and that's not even fair enough for Peach County. That entire crew, or at least every ref with a view of the play should never be on the field for a varsity game again. It was that atrocious. In an instance like that, and there is t.v. evidence, they absolutely should be able to look and see if there was a view that either proves or disproves the call. Other than that, I do agree that in general bad calls are a part of the game. Normal circumstances especially. Here, there is camera evidence and the kids on one side of the field straight up got cheated, whether intentionally or not makes no difference. I see this as another strike against the GHSA. They are cruisin' for a bruisin' in all honesty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
