Meigs 28 Wellston 26
Re: Wellston @ Meigs
Pretty competitive game tonight. Meigs didn’t play a safety all night, 11 in the box didn’t stop Wellston from changing anything. This is flat out getting old...
Smart call after a score from Meigs resulted in an onside recovery that led to a clock killing TD drive that seemed to have sealed the game 28-20. Then number 42 Garvin for Wellston rumbled 74 yards to the 3 yard line on the ensuing kickoff, 1 play later Nick Davis punched it in, but the 2-point conversion comes up short. 28-26 Meigs. Wellston goes for the onside kick...... they recover BUT the refs pull the rule book out to see if the kick is legal... no lie they literally brought a rule book out to check it. And Wellston does in fact get the ball.. Wellston QB fumbles recovered by Meigs.. ball game 28-26 Meigs.

Re: Wellston @ Meigs
White hat came off the field, laughing, smiling and waving at Wellston fans.. not saying anything negative but as an official and head of the crew you put your head down and walk out, nothing else.

Re: Wellston @ Meigs
The most unprofessional ref crew that I have ever seen. The white hat was more concerned with the band than the game and then he taunted the Wellston fans and laughed. Congrats to Meigs on the win. Too bad the refs were a side show.
Re: Wellston @ Meigs
Should seen the crew at the Rv game when they played Meigs...an hour and 20 minute 3rd quarter and they were a joke as well...

Re: Meigs 28 Wellston 26
I don’t think, at least not me personally besides what happened within the last two minutes with the onside kick and after the game any one is blaming the officials, it’s one thing to miss calls (which really they didn’t, besides a few BOTH ways) but to be under 2 mins in a game and have to stop it to get a rule book out? Then after you confirm the call you allow the home side coach sit on the field and argue for 2-3 mins? Along with allowing the clock to run 20-25 seconds while you come up with wether or not they scored, then not reset the clock, Then to stop the opposing teams band from playing before the ball is snapped, which is legal btw. Bare in mind this was not happening before the last 2 mins of the game, it is not a good look to not use the assigner then to have some questionable stuff happen at the end makes it a little odd. Add that on top of the white hat taunting the away fans after the game and you have a really bad look and complaints are warranted.
Re: Meigs 28 Wellston 26
If the white hat did that ,and I heard from a reliable source that he did and that is unprofessional. It is up to the Wellston athletics director to take action on this individual. There is a process he can follow to have him graded and this could cost him in doing playoff games in turn costing him money.
Re: Meigs 28 Wellston 26
When the offensive team breaks the huddle the band/ bands must stop playing . It is a rule.
Re: Meigs 28 Wellston 26
Per OHSAA “Bands shall not play music at football games while the ball is in play, or while signals are being called by the quarterback.” Under that definition the band can play until the team is set from the huddle and the QB begins signals. But the rule was not enforced this way they were told to stop as soon as the team broke the huddle, no signals were be given by the QB before the white hat was blowing the plays dead, this didn’t happen until the last 2 mins and after speaking with other Wellston fans the issue wasn’t so much that but the home teams band played during these same situations.
Re: Meigs 28 Wellston 26
I haven’t read the rule but that sounds about right . I still say if you have been warned twice I believe you need to take action. I also say let the athletic director take care of any problem with the official.
Re: Meigs 28 Wellston 26
Ohsaa also has a rule against PA announcers talking or doing play by play during live action but that doesn’t stop the guy at Wellston. Nothing is ever done about it either. I absolutely hate listening to it. If I wanted play by play, I’d have the radio broadcast in my ear. What a joke.
Re: Meigs 28 Wellston 26
Here is something funny about the flag on the kick off, the rule book out, and then the reversal of the flag.
The official actually got the call correct (except it should have been a dead ball foul). The Rockets alignment on the kick off was illegal.
The Rockets had two players ( the player in position to kick the ball and the other who kicked it, both with a foot on the 30 yard line which was 5 yards behind the free kick line. Remember there was a delay of game penalty called on the first kick. Only the kicker may be behind the line and he must kick the ball. If any other KT member kicks the ball, it is a dead ball foul. For the kick to have been legal no K player could be touching the line except for the kicker. Here is how Rule 6 Section 1 Article 3 reads. "After the ball is marked ready for play, and until the ball is kicked, the following formation requirements must be met:
b.) No K players, other than the kicker, may be more than 5 yards behind the kicking team's free kick line. A player satisfies this rule when no foot is on or beyond the line 5 yards behind K's free kick line. If one K player is more than 5 yards behind the this restraining line and any other player kicks the ball, it is a foul. Dead ball "free kick infraction" foul. 5 yards penalty. Note: If all 11 players are in front of this restraining line, then anyone can kick it. The video clip I saw shows two players, each with a foot on the line. I think # 72 and # 3 (which is the regular kicker) were the two. #72 approached the ball and then #3 kicked it. it was recovered by the Rockets. The clip clearly shows a penalty flag thrown immediately by the official on K's free kick line. He did not blow it dead.
To make a long story short; the call for a "free kick infraction" was initially correct and then they got the rule book out and got it wrong!!
Of course I don't actually know what he called but don't know what else it could have been. The fact that he didn't blow it dead may have been an indication of something else. What, I don't know.
Also, remember on the other Rocket kickoff where the ball was kicked only one yard? Meigs got the ball at the Rocket 41 yard line. The same official threw a flag for encroachment. That is a dead ball foul. That should have been an inadvertent whistle and a re-kick. The ball was actually alive as it was kicked. A Rocket picked the ball up and dropped to one knee downing it. Meigs was awarded the ball there. The flag and whistle for encroachment, should have killed the action. But once again, he may not of sounded his whistle which he didn't do on the other kick!
They are dead ball fouls in both cases the whistle should have sounded.

Re: Meigs 28 Wellston 26
Wellston ‘s announcer is very annoying! He has been for a long time . He says inappropriate things at times and the administration tolerates it for some reason . He even makes the majority of the home crowd sick . Here is to wishing he would just go away!

Re: Meigs 28 Wellston 26
I’m not sure where the announcer bashing is coming from all of a sudden. Yes he may not be perfect but, he enjoys it and does a pretty good job always getting names and numbers after plays. I’m not sure what inappropriate things you are referring to? for the talking during live play I have only heard him say to the 10 the 5, touchdown kind of stuff, for some kids that’s pretty cool as they don’t or won’t get a chance to be in that atmosphere when they finish playing ball, not saying that isn’t against the rules because it is but I have heard him do it for both teams... Does he get carried away from time to time yes without a doubt but it is hard to find enough volunteers these days, let alone someone willing to get behind a mic in front of 600 or more people sometime over 1,000 depending on the game. If I am missing something please tell me. If you are bashing because you have personal problems with him take it to him but don’t get on here and say things like you wish he would go away.
