Dear Editor
Friday's night game (Nov. 15) left FPC football with a season that ended as 9 wins, 1 loss, 1 incomplete.
Sitting in the stands with everyone yelling, "It’s only third down," and yet the refs did nothing. Were they cold and tired and just wanted to go home? Or do they just not know how to count? Do they need a refresher course in the rules?
I left the field that night and went home and watched the game again to see if possibly I missed something. The next morning I listened to the Rich and Mike Sports Show on WNZF. They were upset over what took place knowing that win or lose this team had the right to play the game to the end.
I also learned from their show that some of the players didn’t leave the field until very late that night. Upset? No doubt. They were cheated out of finishing.
(Coach) Daniel Fish had a vision of what he wanted for his team this year and it worked. These boys put a lot of hard work into their practices. Their morals, values and respect for one another showed both on and off the field.
I will say it again. FPC 9 wins, 1 loss, 1 incomplete.
One thing I am wondering is how the coaches of Spruce Creek are feeling?
Surely they knew it was only third down. If the refs called it second down again they would have been out there on the field flipping out. I guess it comes down to your morals and the type of person you are.
Hats off to Daniel Fish, (offensive coordinator) Jake Medlock and the rest of the FPC coaches. You did a great job!
