Must be before my time. I've heard a lot of things sitting in the stands over the years. One thing I've never heard or witnessed is anyone being satisfied with the officiating.

It would be nice if the ref the farthest away wasn't usually the one making the bad calls.

Happy probably isn’t the right word. You should feel indifferent about them in my opinion. Barely noticing them there should be the goal of an official. Make the obvious calls. Don’t interject yourself into the game by making obscure or unnecessary calls

I don’t know why they are so bad in SETX but they just are.  Not all, obviously.  But the overall product is embarrassing.  When I am in other venues (which is a lot) and hear complaining about the officiating, I always say, you should go watch a game in SETX.  And worse, one of our 2 chapters is way worse than the other and the other may be the second to the worst I’ve seen (overall). 
 

On the other hand, last week I watched a D1 crew blow a 3 pt call (calling a shot a 3 when the shooter was 2 to 3 feet inside the 3 pt line), in a game that ultimately went to OT and the team that would have won lost.  All 3 collegiate officials missed that call.  So it may not just be on the HS level.  The problem is, it’s a job not many people would want. 

Couldn’t agree more, and you said it better than I did. Missed calls happen, but not knowing the rules is a different animal all together and makes for a hard watch. Another thing is a lot of these newer guys want to put on a show. No one came to the game to watch the refs. 

There was once a time when an officiating crew would walk into a gym and everyone would know those guys were going to do a great job that night. Those days are getting farther and farther apart. Still some of those guys left, but they’re spread thin. I feel like we get much more knowledgeable officials when we have games in places that use other chapters. Is it too much to ask to have these guys trained properly? I’ve seen technical fouls called on kids for leaving the bench after a time out was called, intentional fouls called on kids when they’re trying to foul at the end of a ballgame. (Nothing forceful either) Those are just a couple of examples. This goes for both sides in most games I’ve seen this season, and I’ve seen quite a few.

Final

45-34 East Chambers

That’s incorrect. This game is still going on. EC 39 Buna 38 after 3

EC 26 Buna 25 at the half

Connell from Buna too. Those are the top 3. Regusa, Sells, Connell in no particular order

My bad. Means to say Perrault instead of Regusa

As far as "best guard in the district" thing, Perrault was the best tonight.

IMO, he's as good as Regusa. Sells for Kountze is in that convo as well.

Connell from Buna too. Those are the top 3. Regusa, Sells, Connell in no particular order

I figured a highly recruited freshmen, best guard in the district & best all time freshmen could easily drop a 20 piece vs. a tough Sutherland E.C. defense?

🤣🤣 I’ve seen him play. The kid is really good. He’s no where near the best guard in the district though. Certainly not top 3 and possibly not top 5. He’s gonna be good for sure. That’s not a knock on him.

Throw out the distractions of rankings and records in this one.

Boutte Ball vs Green Ball Chess match in the making.

Adjustments and the will to win gets the "W" in this one.

The District Champion may not go undefeated in this tough district.

Jmo....

United will be the undefeated district champ. Mark it down. This game won’t be close. 

Final?

Warren 43 Buna 39

Nice upset win for Warren. They shot the 3 very well

Yeah I get that but that was bunas first district game I think they have gotten a little better since then but we will see 

They definitely have. I’ve seen every game Buna has played this season. They’ve improved greatly. It took a bit to get used to what the new coach wanted out of them, but they’ve caught on now I believe. Also, along with the 2 girls from Kountze, I think Reese Sherman is one of the few front runners for district mvp. To this point in district play anyway. We’ll see how it goes the rest of the way. 

I’m guessing a bit here because I don’t know the results of the Anahuac/Kirbyville game last night, so if someone knows please correct me if I’m wrong. 
 

District 22 Standings

Kountze 5-0

Buna 4-1

EC 4-1

Warren 3-2

OF 2-3 

Hardin 1-4

EC beat Hardin by one point… Buna beat Hardin by almost 30 tonight, I think Buna has a shot at second in district 

True. Kountze beat Buna by 23 and only beat EC by 8 tonight. I think we have 3 really solid teams in the district this year.

I think both were undefeated in district as well

Yes they were. I still didn’t expect the game to be that close though. I really thought Kountze would win by around 15-20

Happen to know what the score was?

Great game Cougars!

No and No.

Kountze will get at best 3rd in district. They are not beating East Chambers or Orangefield and not too sure about Anahuac and Buna.

I’m not sure if they’ll make the playoffs either. It’s a tough district this year. I don’t think any team will go undefeated in district. All 5 of the teams you mentioned in your post are good, but none of them head and shoulders above the others. 

Buna 46 Kirbyville 21

I've seen every Buna game this season. The Orangefield game (28-14 OF win), was really closer than the final score. Buna had tied the game at 21 mid-way through the 4th, but the score was called back because the Cougars didn't execute the trick play correctly. (Illegal forward pass was correctly called) Then on the next possession, OF busts a big run to seal the deal. I guess my point is if Buna can be as discipline as they were last week against Kirbyville, I think they could and maybe should win the game against EC.

Anahuac by 14

And when a coach is telling his kids to "hurry hurry hurry, run run, line up" on a running clock, up 30+ points just to score a 2 point conversion after a touchdown with 12 seconds left, that's trying to "run it up".  Convince me otherwise, please.

They agreed to a running clock. If they wanted to run it up they would have kept a normal clock and scored 100.

So many things wrong about this I wouldn't even know where to start.  Public forum and anybody is welcome to talk about anything they wish.  Go boss your wife and kids around.. not me.

And I'm here calling you out because you have absolutely no clue what you're talking about. If your going to say stupid things in a public forum, don't be surprised when someone corrects you.

Running  it up from the varsity level down through flag football.  Classy bunch of folks!

I really thought a bit higher of  Buna than this from the few folks I know out that way, but the truth eventually comes out.

What do you want them to do? Tell the backups to take a knee instead of playing? The backup QB played the entire 2nd half, along with many backups on defense. If you weren't there, don't talk about it. Also, you can't exactly "run it up" in flag football with the 30 point rule.
