I think a lot of the frustration stemmed from Cuero kids getting away with a lot of unnecessary contact being made after the whistle was blown. I saw headbutts, punches, and even one kick. It was pretty rampant in 1st and 2nd quarter and I don’t think there was one single call or talking to by a ref. Also the straight up hold on kickoff return with left hand of Cuero player. It wouldn’t be so bad but when they show these on the replay the kids see it twice and it really pulls at the emotional strings. Unfortunately the refs decided to wake up in 2nd half and keen in on HF then just really pile it on. I’m fine with refs calling them out but you really need to penalize both parties involved. At the end of the day you can’t bite on the unsportsmanlike conduct of Cuero players. You’ve got to be the better team no matter what and keep a cool head.
Best of luck to Jasper. I think your DL could really be a problem for Cuero Offense. Also best of luck to Silsbee
