WRH at East Duplin rematch. (Poll)
- Thread starter BaldAt25
- Start date
Brad Whaley good luck to your ED Panthers this week. I will call you later today.
I remember in 82. Coach Holley’s first year. We had plain black helmet one white Jersey and we wore our practice pants for the games. Got a black Jersey about the 5th game. Looked more like Penn State
. Than the bulldogs. Didn’t care just wanted to win.No disrespect to ED fans because you guys are having a heck of a season but it is truly messed up how Clinton got cheated. I saw at least 3 calls that were bogus and changed the momentum of the game like the catch right before the half that clearly hit the ground. I dont have a dog in this fight but I think Wallace is the better team and wil head to NE next week for a showdown. Good luck to both teams
Good luck, I think ED was good enough to win without the 3 bogus game-changing calls you mention, unfortunately the DarkHorses were not.
Thank you for sharing your opinion.
Uh it’s all clearly seen in the video and several personal cell phone recordings They use to day, “the film doesn’t lie.” Today with technology the video doesn’t lieTdpass, Wiz only has two modes and they are:
1) Brag about what Clinton HAS done in the past or How Good Clinton USE TO BE.
2) Whine like a Baby when Clinton loses and how Clinton was better but this or that happened to keep them from a win.
Last night the better team won simple as that but apparently Wiz's seeing eye dog told him otherwise.
Either way, it's now dribble dribble time in Sampson county.
As for the classy Clinton posters like darkhorse34 and some others, great game last night. Nothing to be ashamed of at all.
As for Wiz, in his first post in reference to last night's event, he said that would be his only response lol We all see how true that was, think he may be a lil senile
But you do Lie Wiz, with your Unfounded Accusations of Home cooking.
Idk exactly what wiz is thinking specifically but…..this was called a catch on 3rd and long. Led to a TD.
This was called a first down, watch the chain gang.
To be clear, ED won the game, I wish them well, these were just examples of what wiz may have meant about home cooking.

Wow that’s pretty bad right there. ED was clearly short and the chain gang dude moved the stick back a whole yard it looked like.
That’s why they call him the @Wizard of the East !!!! That’s my guy right there, he’s like the honey badger 
Wiz don’t give a damn what anyone thinks. That’s why I like him!!! Good job Wiz!!!

As I said the video doesn’t lie. There are no unfounded accusations, look at the video, I think you will see you’re covering up your lies. What do you call it? There’s always been homecoming at ED. It’s pretty commonplace
I don’t know what play this is., but the catch I’m referring to was with 2 min in the half. The ball clearly bounced on the ground 1st I don’t think 1st bounce should count in
He was clearly 1 1/2 yard short not even close Side judge clearly ruled defensive stop ( you can see him marking the ball well shortbut white hat from behind the play spotted it 1st down. Now who had better position to make the call. We were sitting right on the line of scrimmage clear unobstructed view. It’s really funny on the ED broadcast the ED announcer was trying to convince himself and then others it was 1st down. Pivotal call if DarkHorses take over approx midfield they could score for the kead
And then ther was the broken chain 1st dow
6 pivotal game hanging calls

Hope to see you soon goob. I was really impressed with your coaches interview. No wonder Northeasters’s flipped the field since 20 years ago. He’s a winner!That’s why they call him the @Wizard of the East !!!! That’s my guy right there, he’s like the honey badger
He will appreciate this post, and trust me he’ll see it. Hope to hang out with you at the game if we win and have to travel to ED.
There are some people on here that owe Wiz an apology. There is no place for this in high school sports.
No place for what? Making human mistakes lol you win some and you lose some. Calm down Clinton wasn't the best team that night period.

What dude? Honey badger??? If your referring to the druggie from LSU wow.... Wiz is just old grumpy man complain when Clinton loses and wins lol. Meet him in 1999 at swo Clinton game. Cool guy but damn does he whine when he on the shine
Wiz I asked for proof of your accusations and you provided none. Other folks provided a poor quality video that could be viewed any way the viewer wanted. Then a snapshot that doesn't prove anything either. It shows a loose ball, it doesn't show what happened. It clearly shows the runners KNEE IS DOWN. Therefore, the knee could have been down before the ball came out or not, the pic doesn't show definitive evidence either way. Heck you can't even prove that snapshot came from the game in question
Wiz talks out of both sides of his mouth. When Clinton squeaked out a win over Hertford Wiz said there's no place the Horses had rather play than Beulaville. He said the horses have had much success there. But..........once the horses fall it's all because of the refs home cooking. So which is it, the horses like playing there or home cooking is common place which Wiz said? Can't have it both ways Wiz. You thought the horses were going to stroll in and knock off ED and face Wrh. Sorry bud!!!!
I believe ED beat the horses by 2 touchdowns and a field goal. Therefore, given the benefit of ANY/ALL doubt, give back 2 tds and you still LOST. And before we hear any loss of momentum bs let's just nip that in the bud as well. ED scored a field goal to go up to 24 and the horses came back with a td to make it 24-22, right???? From that point on the horses had time but were shutdown and never scored again while ED kept moving. So all in all, the best team won hands down and it's time to move forward. If Clinton was So Good they wouldn't have been playing catch up all game.
I guess refs don't ever call anything wrong in darkhorse land. Heck they make mistakes in the NFL for goodness sakes. With all of this hoopla and nonsense that's been created, Wrh will be able to come in Friday and do anything they want because the refs will now be to scared to throw a flag. Round 3 is here and now and the horses can play basketball, WIZ WE DON'T WANT YOU BACK AT ED, take your toys and go home!!
Simply playing devils advocate here........
The still shot of the disputed catch does not show the ball on the ground IMO. It appears the ball is on the leg of the receiver. How does anyone know the player didn't pin the ball on his leg? How does anyone know if the ball hit the ground? I guess some are arguing that they "heard" the ball hit the ground. If so, I guess I need to get a miracle ear too.
The 4th down play video does appear to show ED being stopped short. To be fair, I thought the runner was short of the line to gain also. What I find interesting in this one is the official on the far side. He appears to run in and is spotting the ball on or somewhere close to the 45. The official on the Clinton side is marking the ball around the 46 which is closer to where the ball carrier was stopped IMO. Looks like the white hat left the ball closer to the 45. My question is why was there no measurement called for before the chains were moved? Where was the ball actually spotted for the next play? I don't see why some are blaming the chain guy. The guy changing the down was already in the process of going back to 1 from 4. Was this at an officials direction? Had the white hat already signaled ED first down? Maybe a moot point because that was going to be changed regardless. I cant even recall if there was a measurement.
Now, is anyone certain Clinton will score had they gained possession? How do we know the next play isn't a fumble? Someone mentioned the chain breaking again. Boy I tell you, that ED crowd is a crafty bunch if they purposely set that up. I mean we are talking CIA stuff there. Clinton crowd is crafty too. Wizard says all this is backed up by "several personal cell phone recordings". Man I tell you, those Dark Horse fans have got a gift to have their cell phones pointed directly at questionable calls and able to get still shots of questionable plays throughout the game.
Maybe there are some on here old enough to remember the Raiders and their belief that the NFL was always against them. The Immaculate Reception. Al Davis blaming the Steelers on purposely tearing the tarp overnight causing the field to freeze over which made it difficult for the Raider receivers to run their routes in the AFC Championship game. The Tom Brady tuck rule. Conspiracies all over the place when things didn't go their way. This sounds like that to me.
Maybe I will ante up the cost to get NFHS so I can refresh my memory on what actually happened during the game. Im sure Clinton fans will take pleasure when/if ED loses either this week or later in the playoffs and will come on here and keep beating this to death. I mean this is the same bunch who claims the Duplin County schools were able to persuade the NCHSAA to keep Clinton out of the conference at realignment. Little ole Duplin County. A county (not city) school system with that much pull. A 2-A conference mind you. Good stuff.

There is usually homecoming at every high school and college in the country during football season.
@Sportscribe I'm not going to quote all that but you mentioned before they moved the chains. You need to watch again. The first down line would be the 45. They were stopped clearly on the 46. The chain crew moved the chains back to the 46. They moved it back a yard. But the ref on the chain side of the field was already calling it a first down when it was a yard short. I'd be upset too.
Now looking at it again they had them marking it a first down for Clinton but the white hat stopped it giving ED the first down.

Otis, if it truly happened as you say then ok, bad call but that did Not lose the ballgame for Clinton.
Yes for saying that home cooking is common place at ED and has always been that way. Since he said that he is and always will be a liar in my book.
I don't appreciate anyone giving mine or any school a bad reputation without being legitimately proven. He had predicted a Clinton win and he hates being wrong so he had to try to find an excuse. From what I saw, with the exception of Hertford, any decent team that clinton played this year beat them.
It’s all moot. We lost ED won, moving on.
None of the those bad calls come anywhere close to what happened to us against Bunn in playoffs years ago. Awful, just awful. Good luck to both teams Friday.

Is he a drunk and a druggie? It sure looked to me like he had legitimate complaints. I’ll move on though and go back to the Northeastern thread. I just think Wiz is being treated unfairly. You know “nothing to see here”. Wizard I hope you’ll come hang out with my wife and I next Friday in Beaulaville.
Should be great. What time u guys get there? I used to get there at least hr early for a monster game like this. What do u think 4-5 thousand?
I am thinking more 3000-3500 given the forecast of cold temps and the ability to now watch games on NFHS. Not the same as it was 5 years ago. I also think attendance has gone down in recent years due to many factors.
I miss the simpler times in some respects. Use to love to cover state title games or attend state title games when they were on a schools campus.

I think they will open gates at 530. Don't know how many. Wizard was right about the 97 ED/Clinton game is the biggest crowd I have ever seen at East Duplin. Supposed to of been 5 thousand that night. Think this could be that big anyway
