Interesting commentary

That’s funny but I do agree with him just take a knee with 20 seconds.  

[Dat Brook]

The Gilmer comment was un-called for.

I dont know what the context of the drive/situation was. Did the other team call timeout with little time left on the clock? Was it a pick prior setting them up with this field position?

Even without knowing these facts, throwing the ball in that situation is a bit of dick move regardless of what personnel is in. If they can't stop the run with second and third string guys in, so be it, but run the clock... you're up by four possessions. 

[raideroldtimer]

Pretty sure if I'm a back up, especially underclassman and the coach gives me the go ahead I'm going to try my best to accomplish the final goal. I'm not going to kneel down unless MY coach tells me and then I probably won't be thrilled about it.

[Hawks18]

Some of these kids will never play a down of football after this season especially if it’s the 2nd string, I have no problem with it… 

[Tigers94]

So long as it's 2nd and 3rd stringers out there, I don't see what the big deal is.

 

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

For me the bigger deal is: did the Carthage defense really give up 30 to that team? If so that Gilmer game might get interesting. 

[WOSdrummer99]

Coach S said on scoreboard live he was glad to get everyone in the game.

I saw CT punt on 1st down when it got that bad with the running clock. Other team 3 and outs. Then he got mad cause KJ didn't signal fair catch and the kids weren't blocking on the return. So he put the kicker out there on 1st down. And he makes that FG too. Only time I ever saw CT take the headset off that early. He just stood there on the sideline the rest of the 4th and clapped his hands like he was a fan.

It happens, and in some cases can't be avoided. I agree it's hardly worth celebrating that trash. But the guy could've been more professional on air.

Go Gilmer! Loved that part

Starters were pulled before the first points were scored according to the Carthage HC in a interview after the game

[MackLewis]

Carthage was up 40-0 at the half, then quickly went up 54-0 early in the 3rd.

Surratt pulled all the starters and put in the 2nd string.   VA started scoring their points on the 2nd string, then in the 4th, Surratt put in some 3rd string and JV kids.   
 

VA still had their starters in, still trying to score.    I’m thinking that something else extracurricular was going on, because it’s unlike Surratt to do that at the end of the game.

I don’t mind it though.   If they leave their starters in, padding the stats, then why not let your kids score?

[house]

VA let his starters continue to score on Carthage 2’s and 3’s.  Why should Carthage not allow his reserves to score.  VA decided to take advantage of Carthage good graces.  Shouldn’t whine when they get scored on.  The question is what kind of coach won’t let his backups play when the game is over and the other coach signals they are not wanting to pile up points and rub it in.  

[SmashMouth]

I have no problem with the score by back-ups. The announcer sounds like he was fussy and needed a diaper change. 

[BADSANTA]

Gotta get of the mic with those types of emotions.

More professional?

How much you think they're paying these announcers? It's probably the assistant principal's brother in law calling the game after he got off his shift at the lumber yard.  Not sure how much professionalism can be demanded.

Guess if you don't have BallysportsSW then you buy another subscription.  Doesn't look like nfhs will carry the game.

Glad he wasn't doing old school Refugio games, he would've blew his top. They were trying to put 100 on you backups in or not, and were throwing deep bombs late in the 4th quarters, don't blame em either, play defense. 😂🤣

That guy needs to tell the whole story. 
what a jerk. 
it was 54 to 0 in the first half. Carthage pulled all starters in the start of the 3rd quarter. VA kept all starters in the game on both sides of the ball and scored 30 points on 2nd team, 3rd team and freshmen players. VA Never pulled their starters. So Surratt let the freshmen score. If he wants to rant on someone, he needs to point to VA head coach. 
Surratt has never run the score on any team. He would rather get his young players playing time. He could have scored a hundred in the 3rd quarter alone.

Point to the VA coach about what? Shame on him for being outmatched? 

[JBizzle]

Let's be honest. He was mad at the beating they took. The touchdown at the end was just something he could point to as being a reason. He can use that to say "I wasn't mad at losing, just the way they ran it up at the end." 
You can question running a play at 20 seconds. That's fine. But if you are one who wants someone to put the 2's and 3's out there and tell them not to try and score, go somewhere else.

Surratt doesn't care if they won by 24 or 31, for sure.

You ain’t ever lied.  😂

They may be right behind Aledo for most points scored in a single season.

[Bansheefan]

Keep in mind that they had the ball first in goal with less then a minute to go and they didn't kneel it they tried to score too so they could of ended it there and there was a unsportsmanlike on the extra point and ran the kickoff back to the 3 yard line

[house]

Yea pretty funny VA had just scored about 20 seconds earlier with about 40 seconds left in the game.  VA scoring ok but Carthage scoring is trash.  

[Just an old Coach]

It’s funny listening to Van Alstyne complain about someone running the score up.  How about play some defense with your 1’s still in the game playing against JV and freshmen.
