It was definitely an odd situation. Appeared to me to be a fumble. 

What made it strange was after the play... officials went to both coaches for quite a while. The white hat went to the Silsbee sideline which was quite odd as Silsbee maintained possession.  It left the umpire discussing with the HF coaches.  I assumed there was going to be an inadvertent wistle that would have given HF the ball but no advancing of it as the player recovering the ball was not down. Not sure if the officials deemed in was not a fumble or if there was a fumble but an inadvertent whistle before the recovery. 

The long discussion leads me to think an inadvertent whistle stopped the opportunity from a recovery of the fumble and Silsbee simply maintained possession. However, it may be that there was no fumble according to the officials. 

Again, the strange sequence after rhe play leaves me still not sure of the official call on the field other than Silsbee maintained pissession. 

 

Can confirm that an inadvertent whistle killed the play a split second before our dude with 4.5 speed and nobody between him and the Silsbee endzone recovered it. Silsbee took the lead the next play. What’s even wilder is we recovered a fumble in bounds the play before and it was ruled out.

Tough play.  Couldn't see that side from my vantage but it was obvious that play was stopped from a whistle.  

The fumble before was a good call.

It's not easy to strip Haegyn, much less twice in consecutive plays.

Tough runner but HF Defense showed out. I've never witnessed a 2 min disaster like what occurred before half.  Talk about opportunistic defensive plays! Broussard is a beast and made some throws under pressure that was impressive.

Side note: Several game altering calls. That particular play will be the one everyone talks about, not the blocked XP, 6 sacks, 2 TODs late in the game that the Silsbee defense needed to pull it out.

Great game.
