The Rebels (5-0) are the second-ranked team in 5A in the latest state football poll while West (4-0) is currently the No. 3 squad in 4A.

If any of you Rebels are making the drive over I'll be sitting on the visitor's side. I should be easy to spot - SF shirt or hoody, USS Saratoga ball cap.

The 4th down “catch” by West at the end of the game was an incomplete pass. I stood a few yards to the left of where the “catch” was made against the fence. You could clearly hear the ball ricochet off the turf. Watch the tape, convince me I’m wrong.

I haven't reached that play yet, but at the 2:52:00 mark a Byrnes player is limping off the field, he is stopped by a coach or staff member at the sideline and then lays down in the field of play to cause an official time out.
It happened right in front of me, and that's what I thought I saw, the video seems to confirm it. The head line-judge saw it too and told the player to get off the field, but he didn't.

Do you mean the final play for a TD? I thought it was a catch. The YouTube video shot from the top of the press-box is inconclusive, but it looks like a catch. (It's at the 2:53:30 mark.) I'm sure one of the local TV stations has a better view from the sidelines. I'll post it if I find it.
