Anybody go to his game last night? Had a really bad streaming night trying to check in on my cheap computer. But the last couple of plays were bizarre. The other team took the lead with .7 seconds on the clock. Kicked a squib kick that was smothered at the 50 by a Karns player while already down. The officials had not a clue what to do. They seemingly declared the game over when the Carter coach had the floor, then they convened for a while for a while and looked to spot the ball at the 50, then they seemed to be calling for a do over kick, then they finally lined up at the 50 to run one play. Of course fate really jumped on board and the QB ran around for a while and then uncorked a hail Mary to the endzone where several players elevated, the ball seemed to be controlled by someone one yard deep in the endzone, they fell to the ground in what appeared to possibly be joint possession and rolled around for a while, until you guessed it, our star emerged from the pile raising the ball above his head. Not a lot of camera angles, but I did not see a signal for catch (TD), interception , or incomplete pass, the did not acquire the ball and do the game over thing with the ball above the head, all I could see was them running off the field, and they broadcast ended 5 seconds later. SO.... just wondered if there was anybody there that could have seen more of the play or a call or heard an explanation. Wide angle cameras are not great in these situations.
First screenshot shows the Karns players seeing something.

I cannot see who actually possessed the ball touching the ground first, but I did not see the ball hit or not hit the ground, BUT after the scrum Bishop emerges with the ball. Sure would like to have seen one of the three valid signals, and maybe it was out of camera range. I would add that all the nearby players of both teams were looking to see who had possession and there was not celebration of an incomplete pass by the defense at all.

Edited to add one more shot.... which crack official do you think made the call? See any close enough to do so? On a pretty predictable chunk it to the endzone play.
