Hootens 2-4A

[SUGARTOWN]

Should be a good game

We don't have moral victories in Stuttgart so unless we win, it's a bad game

You do however, have a lot of home cooking officiating there though.

Referees are assigned, not chosen by the home team. Nice try.

Nope. The officials are chosen by an assignor.

[LakeRat]

Geez... you got to wonder when this legendary "home-cooked officiating" boloney will ever end. Hasn't it been like 8-10 years since the AAA implemented an assigner program for officiating in 4A??

There's clearly no home-cookin in this area... just mediocre to poor cookin in the striped shirt kitchen the last few years.

I do wish the schools and the AAA would establish a mandatory rule that if you are going to officiate from the spectator stands then you must wear the proper striped shirt, preferably florescent pink & white, with a state-issued 2 foot tall dunce hat with flashing LED's to properly identify yourself from the common spectators...

Not all conferences in the 4A have an assignor for the regular season, certain schools don't want that (Dollarway), but the 2-4A has had it for quite a few years. I don't think the 7-4A has it yet.

ALL 4A playoff games are assigned however.

There may not be now but I remember those Watson Chapel - Stuttgart games from years back and how WC got hosed on several occasions at Ricebird Stadium.

There were some that the Ricebirds won legit but there were also some where WC got hosed.

I think the 7-4A might have conference games assigned but not non-conference.

Somebody from Pine Bluff talking about getting hosed on the road is the definition of pot calling kettle. The schools in and around Pine Bluff have always had and always will have the biggest homer refs/umpires in the state. And I've been playing and watching games in PB since the late 70's. It's just a given, when you go to PB in ANY sport, you're going to get hosed.

I'm not going to complain about it though, I just expect it now.

[HeberFan]

Dozens of missed calls every game... from pee wee to pro. Just how it goes.

[GuvHog]

Agreed. One would think the officials would be working very hard to cut down on the missed calls but it seems some just don't care.

So anytime Stuttgart goes over and loses to a Pine Bluff school, it is because of the refs/umpires?

Uh no. Once again, you're not understanding. I never said anything about losing, I just said that you ALWAYS get bad calls in Pine Bluff, sometimes you have a good enough team to overcome them. Sometimes you're not good enough to win anyway, but you still get the bad calls. And that's not just Stuttgart, anybody who's played at W. Chapel, Dollarway, White Hall, PB and even Jefferson Prep back in the day will back me up.

I may comment about bad/incorrect calls, but I won't blame the refs for a loss. Excuses are for losers.

[HeberFan]

Holding can be called on pretty much every play. Truth is, in the 100 or so plays in a high school football game, one call or play never makes the final difference. Even a blown call on the final play of the game doesn't negate all the plays before it.

One blown call can and sometimes does make a difference. I've seen it happen.

[HeberFan]

My point is that all the blown calls earlier in the game could have led to touchdowns. All are important.

Last year the Panthers played better on the road than at home... I suggested to one of the coaches they load the team up in a bus and drive them around the lake twice before home games.

The assigner for the dollarway warren games at dollarway must be assigned from dollarway then because it's home cooking for dway

I don't believe the 8-4A has assigned referees. Those schools like their home cooking too much.

Instant replay isn't even a sure way to get calls right. Have to deal with bad calls

Bad or missed calls you can understand at game speed but they need to at the very least know the rules. That's the thing that kills me.

there wasn't overwhelming evidence he scored. Nashville still would have won

Lots of pressure for the Ricecakes to christen their new field with a win against Dewitt. Will it happen ?

We've got about the same chance losing to Dewitt as we do the lil black kitty cats

You could refer to Heber as the kitty cats 1,000 times and its going to make me laugh every time.

If Stuttgart loses to Dewitt, this will be a long, painful season for the Ricebirds. That would be a devastating, shocking loss.

It could very well happen, Dewitt has a couple of transfers with something to prove!

Ricebirds by 35.... and week 5 Stuttgart will handle Heber by 21 points.

Beating Dewitt by 35 and Heber by 21 would be a whole lot of offense. How many returning starters does Stuttgart have ?

Heber has a 92% graduation rate, while Stuttgart only has an 82% rate. Perhaps the Ricecake dropouts can get a job polishing some of those rusty, old football trophies ?
