Guilfoyle 19 Clairton 18 4Q 10:22 left to play

Need a kicker

Clairton had the ball on the 8 yard line, they were down 1 point. I can't believe they couldn't develop one kid to kick a 25 yarder.

Nice game for BG. They have some nice players on that team. Nice win for the kids from Altoona!
 
What happened at the end? I heard some of the Clairton kids lost their composure.
 
Re: Brawl at end?

I heard Clairton brawled at the end? Any info on this?

Yes, really. I guess when you only have 25 kids, there has to be 1 deficiency. Today, Guilfoyle exposed probably Clairton's only flaw.

BG was taking their timeouts after taking over on downs. There were a couple unsportsmanlike conduct penalties (I think on Clairton) so the refs burned off the last 22 seconds and ended the game.
 
Re: Need a kicker

#24 wasn't happy about losing, went to BG huddle to fight the team. #54 followed him with a full sprint and threw his helmet at the BG players. No different than 2012, except Clairton won that one, they showed the same amount of class.
 
Re: Need a kicker

Some Clairton kids ran on the field, threw their helmets at BG kids. It looked like it was going to get bad. Gotta hand it to both sets of coaches for reigning in their squads. They did a great job with that.

More than just unsportsmanlike penalties. More like NO CLASS penalties.

Refs ended the game, no need to have a blow up to run off 22 seconds.

Once the Clarton kids calmed down, looked like their coach did a nice job of calming them down, many went over to congratulate the BG kids and vice versa.

But... it could have gotten UGLY. Great job on both sides by the coaches!!
 
In life, we'll lose much more than we'll win. No one likes to lose, but it is important to do it "well". Surprising since the game was far from chippy. Seemed like both teams were concentrating on football, not talking trash.
 
Great game by BG. Had to watch the replay so I didn't want to come on here and see who won. I can't say I'm glad to see Clairton lose but after watching them pull that thuggish BS at the end of the game, I'm glad they lost. What are you teaching your kids about life and facing adversity? #2 and #38 on the sidelines balling when there was still time left. No kicker? What are you teaching your kids about football? Hopefully the coach can use this to teach those kids about competition and playing hard and losing and still being to hold your head high and that you're just not going to be able to blow everyone out.. It would be a great opportunity to do so.
 
They should be banned from the playoffs next year. That was a disgrace. Apparently there was a similar incident a couple of years ago with Clariton.
