Play to the whistle, kids

I've never been fond of buzzers in football games. Game doesn't end when it goes off. It can only confuse the kids, like it did here.
Red's coach needs to inform his team they don't have to go out of bounds on a free kick down. Clock would have stopped if he'd just gone to a knee.
I had a wrong-way play last year. Kid picked up a fumble on the run, ran it 60 yards the wrong way. Coaches and parents yelling at him to turn around, but it's just cheers to him. Drops the ball in the end zone. A player from each team goes for it, but the offensive player gets it first. Touchdown. The defensive player's team won the game, though, so it didn't cost him anything other than his pride.
