There is Nooo way! Piketon was very fortunate to pull out the win the 1st time. People don’t even realize that ZT had the ball inside Piketons 40 after the 2nd Gullion pick to start the 4th qtr up 24-20. Nichols goes out with leg cramp after gaining 1st down. If ZT scores they are up 31-20. That’s when the fake punt was called. Nichols wasn’t able to run any the 4th qrt which Piketon hadn’t stopped him or Barnhart all night.
I agree with the no 2 minute offense!! That was horrible on our coaches point.
Fumbles are part of the game. Again Piketon is lucky it wasn’t a 21-0 lead because if you remember there was a Piketon fumble on their 1st offensive possession, that 2 ZT kids landed on and somehow refs gave the ball to Piketon. Film shows it was a horrible call. Again I say very fortunate.
I give ZT respect, they are a much improved football team from last year and throughout this season. But not so fast…
If Piketon played them again in a rematch even at ZT I think Piketon wins by 2tds.
Agree ZT had their chance and Piketon deserves the gold ball. I’m just saying there are other great players in the league and there isn’t much separation between ZT and Piketon. Again I’m probably a little bias but oh well. I may only have 1 or 2 weeks left to watch my boy play and will always be his biggest fan!
Just look at the stats of both teams. Similar schedules with point diffs being +26.5 and +25.9. Piketons offense was a little better and ZT defense was a little better.
