DEast East doing a nice job on Coatesville offense. Coatesville D has been doing a solid job on the D East run game. Coatesville intercepted a pass in the red one mid second quarter otherwise it might be 21-14 East lead.
Coatesville 14 - Downingtown East 14 Halftime
- Thread starter ChesmontLeague1
- Start date
Holy crap! Match’s the Oakland and KC ending! DEast goes up 27-26 w 49 seconds to go in 4th. Some how Cville gets all the way down to the redzone and gets penalized w 9 seconds. Cville throws winning to w 3 seconds to go. Cville intercepts the kickoff pass around by DEast to pad it to 38-27. This game could have went either way. Best defensive (and offense too) by Matta in the 3 years my daughter has been at the school. Good luck to both. No one is Undefeated at 6A

Congrats to coatesville on overcoming 13 penalties for 145 Yards, 6 of which were personal fouls, to get the win. What a game!
That's a lot of penalties,particularly personal fouls. Were they legit in your opinion ?
I believe in my unbiased, objective opinion , yes. Maybe Chesmont and 1adelco could chime in with their opinions. Young with 2, Avery that is and one on coach for arguing a call. Helmet to helmet call on young as well as a flag for taking off his helmet and arguing a call.
Let's see if I can break them down. Some were legit, late hit on Lauletta and facemask calls on DEast sideline were legitimate. The call on Avery Young when he hit the TE and knocked his helmet off was questionable. You can see it in yesterdays Daily Local it was not helmet to helmet. However, after viewing upwards of 20 high school games this year, referees will flag you if you do not bend at the shoulders in a tackling motion and make an attempt to wrap up in my opinion. Missed or blown calls was a 15 yd penalty on the OC of Coatesville when the refs explained to him and Coach Ortega that they were negating the Kick Return Coatesville had for a touchdown due to an inadvertent whistle (onsides kick) Coatesville was also flagged another 15 when Aaron Young was nudged out of bounds but came back in to catch an Ortega pass. I could be totally wrong but I thought the penalty for illegal touching was 5 yards. The refs marked off 15 yds. Big mistake. Finally was the Stocker personal foul where, for the second year in a row Stocker hit Young late on the sideline but no call. Stocker, whose family still owns residence in Coatesville, is not very popular with the Red Raiders, appeared to either be banged into or nudged by a Red Raider and then he sort of flopped to the ground. A back judge who was a good 20 yds away from the play, threw a flag that resulted in the last personal foul call that I remember. Feel free to add on if I missed any
I didn’t realize it was 13 penalties? What was up for the squib kick that Coatesville ran back for a td? Additionally that targeting call was bs. The DEast player was hit cleanly. I’m not sure of a conspiracy but It appeared Coatesville came out on the short end of penalty calls which could change outcome of game in the playoffs. That game was epic and has to be one of the best in Chesmont history. Look out for DEast in the playoffs as I said a few weeks back. They play like that and they’ll be going pretty far.
