Osage 30 A-P 20. Final
From the sounds of it it was a great game. AP scored to start the 2nd half to take a 4 point lead then hit osage with surprise onside kick. Nothing came of that drive and osage scored the final 14 points to win by 10. I wasnt at the game. Only listened to the 4th quarter on my drive home.
For what it's worth there should be a replay of the game up now on the 987 kiss country website. There always is for the st ansgar games they stream and they also stream the osage games.It was a great game. AP had a ton of momentum as they were grinding out 3-6 yard runs all game and would've been in complete control if they were able to score after the surprise onside. Turning point in the game was a block in the back 9 yards behind the LOS on AP's drive after the onside. Went from a 3rd and 4 around Osage 40 yard line to a 2nd and 29. Had to punt and Osage scored right away and then got a stop. I'd have to see film to know if it was a bad call but it had absolutely no bearing on the play so hate to see that. Osage has some playmakers though. I'm curious to see how they do in the playoffs. They went 0-4 in non district but that was against three 9-0 teams and a 5-4 team
Nice. Also, don't want this to come off as sour grapes, I think the better team won. Just was a huge momentum shifting penalty and felt like it should be notedFor what it's worth there should be a replay of the game up now on the 987 kiss country website.

Didnt come off that way. I went to the St Ansgar game vs Central Springs. The officiating was sub par in that one. Just listend to the 4th qtr of the Osage game on the radio on the way home as I knew it was an important game. Good to have two schools from mitchell county make the playoffs.Nice.

Unfortunately it feels like Iowa high school officiating can now actually decide a game or drastically shift the momentum between teams. I have seen a bunch of film that's been very ugly the last couple years. Unfortunately, given a number of reasons including bleacher chair refs, folks just don't want to be refs anymore. Can't say I blame them.Didnt come off that way. I went to the St Ansgar game vs Central Springs. The officiating was sub par in that one.

It happens at all levels. In their defense, there is a lot going on and calls will be missed. It's when it happens repeatedly that there is an issue or on bad calls in big situations.Unfortunately it feels like Iowa high school officiating can now actually decide a game or drastically shift the momentum between teams.

Who’s paying for that?It happens at all levels. In their defense, there is a lot going on and calls will be missed. It's when it happens repeatedly that there is an issue or on bad calls in big situations.
On a related note, aren't they implementing replay review for the playoff games now. I think I read that somewhere.
I forget which class it was but I recall a touchdown catch that was ruled incomplete last year that the replays showed was a catch clearly. Live it was hard to tell and I dont fault the official on this call as it was incredibly close to the sideline, but there was a perfect camera angle on this play that showed the catch. An angle the officials didnt have.
I would think, if it's used, it will only be in the semis and finals. There are already multiple cameras on these games. As you implied, it would be very hard and expensive to implement in the first 2 rounds.Who’s paying for that?
