Geez, there was no report in last Saturday’s newspaper (Sept. 27) about Adna’s 48-8 nonleague loss to Castle Rock and you would have thought we omitted a report on the start of WWIII or something. There were several telephone and e-mail messages wondering why there was no report, one going so far as to suggest we were protecting Adna by not reporting on the beating.
Sorry folks. The simple truth is Adna coach K.C. Johnson didn’t call in. It happens.
We also got no report that night from the Onalaska-Forks game, but didn’t hear a word about that one from anyone.
You don’t hear an old Cougar say this very often, but I really did feel sorry for the Huskies last Saturday.
Surely, you all know by now what I’m talking about — the unsportsmanlike call on Husky QB Jake Locker after he scored a touchdown late against BYU and then jumped up and tossed the ball straight overhead. After the ensuing 15-yard penalty, the PAT kick was blocked and the beleaguered Huskies lost by a point. Former Dallas Cowboys and University of Miami coach Jimmy Johnson put it best on the FOX NFL pregame show Sunday morning when the topic came up. “There are good officials and there are bad officials, and the guy that made that call is an absolute idiot!” he fumed.
