Gilmer vs Paris North Lamar

terrible game.

 

worst refs I have ever seen. Just completely incompetent. Not calling anything in favor or lopsided for either team....just a clueless group of idiots.

 

Game was over before it ever started.

 

Rohan Fluellen got his ankle banged up, so hopefully it's nothing serious and we can sit him and our guys for the next two weeks.

 

That is about it for this waste of a game.

Refs were beyond incompetent, and the “game” was a waste.

 

But North Lamar pulling a “turn off the stadium lights” less than 5 minutes after the game ends should result in lawsuits and firings.  You IDIOTS are going to get somebody seriously injured. Kids are loading equipment out of the stands and onto buses, equipment, etc and fans who drive 3 hours should be expected to stay and speak to their children who are players band members, drill team, etc. This was truly a wasted trip on all fronts. North Lamar ISD, your school board and administrators should be embarrassed at such a classless and dangerous stunt they pulled turning out the stadium lights.
 

We have no control over who the UIL puts in our district. And you can get as frustrated as you want at your “team” on the field. But you can change a life if just one person steps off the bleachers wrong in the dark. Nobody drives 2 hours to watch that sorry excuse for a game in that sorry excuse for a stadium because they want to. They do it to come and support kids.  Ours and yours.  We bring a visitors side of revenue to your town with a good attitude and good sportsmanship. The reality is, Gilmer could beat your team 100-0 if that was the goal… but instead every kids plays and plays hard.  The kid that scored with 1:00 left in the game has been in JV all year, works hard and deserves to run to score every time he touches the ball.  If you think that is “running up the score”, then you obviously know nothing about this sport. 

The fact is, turning the lights out while people are in the process of leaving is purposefully a DANGEROUS act of criminal negligence. And whoever did this should be fired immediately.

Wow.  You need to put the phone down for the weekend.

The turning off of the stadium lights was dangerous.  There were still band members carrying all their instruments in the stands, and senior citizens with canes trying to get down the steps, and it went completely dark. There were still North Lamar fans stuck in the stands also, which leads me to think it was an act of incompetence instead of malice. But it did make for a dangerous situation. 
 

as for the game, Gilmer was totally unfocused. Way too many penalties. The refs were more clueless than outright bad. They made the game longer than it should have been because they had to confer for too long to figure out what they were doing.   Biggest concern from this game however is Rohan Fluellen. It would be awful for Gilmer to lose one of its best players in a game decided after the first possession.

My personal apologies to NL ISD for assuming the lights were “turned off”. (That already happened to us this season, so a little “butt hurt” assumption on my end).

I am told there was a power outage across the entire area that happen to hit Paris grid, and it was NOT “turned out”.

Again, apologies for the erroneous  assumption and best of luck to NL.
