During a boys game, you can hear coaches screaming at their players to get it their mouth the whole game. Refs, if they are going to call it, usually do so in the first half or sometimes in the 3rd, once maybe twice. Most girls refs in our area are terrible, with no thought to managing the game.

There are some notable exceptions but it sounds like none of the teams who played yesterday are happy with the refs.

She had to pick the mouth guard up off the ground, shake all the turf pebbles off and put it back in her mouth. That gets called every time......

How they handle mouth guards in a boys game has as much relevance to this games as how they handle mouth guards during a monster truck rally.

Visi scored after the whole egregious mouth guard situation and then were held scoreless for the last 9 minutes of the game with calls going 4-4 to both teams even with Visi going hackathon on SSSAS during the last minute. The one referee huddle in the last 10 minutes went Visi's way on a weird offsides call.

Both teams weren't happy with the refs which like someone else said is probably a good indication that the refereeing was pretty even.

What was weird about offsides call that went Visi's way. Were they offsides and got away with it?

I believe Saints had a player off for a yellow card. Got the ball and took it into offense end. They appeared to not have enough players back. Ref didn’t call it right away. By the time they did the player serving yellow was released and on field behind restraining line. Refs huddled and awarded the offside penalty.

Same poster defending the ref last week is the same poster defending the ref this week.

Point to the section of the rule book where it states a call must be forfeited if its not called in the 1st 3 quarters? If a game goes 0-0 into the fourth do goals no longer count in the fourth quarter?

Why would anyone put up with the abuse from you people.

Pick up a whistle and try to waddle your middle aged pot bellied a$$ down the field.

I didn't hear the SR parents saying anything crazy and their students definitely out did ours. Crazy good game, weird coaching moves from both sides, and terrible refs who needed a 5-minute huddle to make every call. That game could have gone either way.

I'm glad our girls have at least one more game next week.

A bit of an overstatement they huddled for every call, but it is considered refereeing best practice to compare what, in this case, the three referee saw on the play to determine who had the best visual. Better to caucus and get the call correct, than allow an incorrect call to be made from an inferior angle. In the P/SR game, the referees weren't perfect but nothing outrageous and certainly not of the magnitude to influence the outcome.

SR won the game on the strength of their draw controls, for which Potomac had no answer, and which kept the ball in their defensive zone for the majority of the 2nd qtr and 2nd half. And there should be no complaints about the SR cheer section. There were virtually no Potomac students supporting their team (until boys lacrosse came at the very end) whereas SR had about 30 girls travel from MD and root for their team in a spirited fashion.

SR had a proctor there making sure the cheers were appropriate and the only borderline one was the "we can't hear you" highlighting lack of student support for Potomac. Overall, well played by both teams and a thoroughly entertaining game of which players on both sides can hold their heads high.

If mouthguard truly fell to the ground and out of her mouth then they absolutely must call it in that moment. Too far off of your teeth is one thing, completely out of your mouth is another. Mouth guards do more than just protect teeth, they are also for concussion safety.

If both teams are unhappy with the officiating in the same game then both probably have legitimate gripes and would have been complaining about the outcome. So it was probably even.

As a rule of thumb you should never make small mistakes like not having your mouthguard in properly that in a close game can be seemingly blown-out of proportion like this.

Wear your mouth guard, especially when you have the ball in your stick.
