I'm no Manatee fan, but even I can see from the film that #7 Allen landed on the 15 yd line on 3rd down, but got a poor spot. After the 4th down play, the ball is clearly sitting on the 15 yd line----end of story---no measurement needed---1st down. It is troubling and disappointing that the officials prevented Manatee from attempting to tie the game. Whether they would have or not is not the issue---the officials' competence on this crucial call is the issue.
@douglas7664 I completely agree. It's a shame when games are decided this way. Manatee lost a game it could have won and Good Council has, what many consider, a tainted victory on their record. Christmas came early.
