Fenwick was up with just a few seconds to go, and on 4th down at their own 5-yard line, the Fenwick QB heaved a pass downfield knowing that time would expire before the ball came down. The officials called grounding, but also awarded Plainfield an untimed down, which they used to kick a field goal. After the game the officials admitted their mistake but said the call could not be reversed. Brutal! |

Denied, Catholic schools have too many advantages in sports already. About time they evened things up a bit. |

And it's a high school football game. I'm sure we can find some people more worthy of a DB'ing. |

Don't worry. The kids won't remember the results of the game in 20 years anyways. |

Benet was playing East St. Louis in the other 7A semifinal. I didn't go to the game but several websites including MaxPreps and IHSA had the score as a 20-0 win for Benet. Turns out they had it backwards....Benet was the one who got shut out. |

This exact same situation happened a month ago in a college game (central Michigan v. Oklahoma state) That game they used the ill gotten free play to score a 50 yard touch down |

I guess the coach used to coach in the Arena League where they have some funky rules, so he may not have been thinking straight. |

They lost in the playoffs in 2012 on a 90 yard punt return with no time left on the clock. |

denied - anything that results in a fenwick loss should be on the shoutout board. |

Fenwick filed an injunction this evening because the iHSA won't hear their appeal. |

Crew in question was scheduled to do one of the Final Games this weekend, that was rescinded today as well. Not a good situation for all parties involved. |

I read somewhere that the officiating crew that messed up was scheduled to officiate one of the finals this coming weekend, but that was rescinded. Tough spot for everyone involved. |

Well I don't think the lawsuit is going to do much good. |

There is legal precedence for it and the IHSA has over turned a wrong decision in the past. This will get interesting. Fenwick's appeal cited a 2008 case in which the Mississippi High School Activities Association reinstated a team into the playoffs three days after a similar enforcement of an incorrect call on the final play of regulation allowed a team to score an apparent game-winning touchdown. Also in 2008, the IHSA established precedent by overturning results of the Illinois wrestling tournament three days after Edwardsville celebrated beating Granite City by ½ of a point. A recount revealed Granite City actually won 217 ½-217 and the IHSA – after initially clinging to a rule that says results must be corrected within 30 minutes of the end of a tournament – rightly reversed the outcome. In that case, the Edwardsville coach detected the scoring error himself and contacted the Granite City coach in a display of the type of sportsmanship we all want to define youth sports. Likewise, Plainfield North officials have an opportunity to make a bold, principled statement on behalf of honesty and fairness by forfeiting a game the IHSA agrees it lost in regulation. They should seize it before a judge has to. |

What parent would take such a meaningless game to court? This would be a great teaching lesson to your child. Sometimes you actually win, but you still lose. That's life... |
