The final score to the game was 3-1 Lindale. I am not going to lye is was expecting Lindale to blow them out of the water by a score of at least 4-0, with no contest. It was a very good game though. It was pretty much as physical as a game can get, hinting at the 4 yellow cards(3 on Lindale and 1 on Pitt).
The referee was not very good. The calls went 80% to Pitt and the rest to Lindale. He was behind the play most of the time and not close to the play when he made calls. One card was legitamate when one of the Lindale players pushed off a Pitt player but the referee again did not catch the retalliation from the Pitt side. If there was a better referee it would have been a great and clean game. Lawless the Lindale coach received a card because of his frustration with the bad calls. This is understood though.
WHO WILL WIN: LONGVIEW vs MOUNT PLEASANT
I have to agree about the ref in the boys game, I'm no expert, but that man had me totally confused on his calls! He looked like a traffic cop out there flaying his arms around. His signals were anybody's guess and he waited so long to make his calls, I thought another infraction had been committed and I'd missed it! By the end of the game, I wanted to take his whistle away!
On the other hand, I thought the ref in the girls game did a really good job in controlling the intensity, and made clear, timely fair calls on both sides. Good job to that ref!
