Re: FH goes for 2...loses 25 to 24
First, I am not a Ranger's fan, just a fan of D6 football.
I was also at the game and liked the call to go for two. The Rangers were not able to stop Burns (#27 ) and Wilson? (#24) all night. Because of their inability to stop the Greyhounds running attack Bailey probably felt the outcome would not come down to the field goal kicker in OT. Thus his decision to go for the win in regulation. As for the play call, I would have rather seen him him run the counter that was so effective in the second half as opposed to the halfback pass. Having said that, I must also point out that even though the pass was thrown to the short receiver and broken up McCombie was wide open in the back of the end zone. So maybe, just maybe, old DonBo knows a little more about play calling than some on here would like to give him credit for.
Regardless of the outcome,GREAT SEASON RANGERS and you can be proud of the way you represented District 6!

at the end of the day.. The Rangers were very, very lucky to have had a chance to tie the game up. If they would have went ahead to win it would've been because Wilmington did something very stupid. Why throw on 2nd down when you're trying to run the clock out? FH would've gotten the ball in their own territory with less than a minute left.. In highschool that's dang near impossible to drive for a touchdown. So the decision was fine with me, considering we were lucky to even get that opportunity.
