Settle today’s debate that came up 👇 Which GHSA State Championship officiating call was worse? 🏆 2017 Calhoun vs. Peach County 🏆 2023 Sandy Creek vs. Cedar Grove Personally, it’s the Sandy Creek one for me. Just brutal.

Human element. But let’s talk about the positives each of these brought forward : 1) Peach/Calhoun led to 7 man playoff crews. 2) Sandy Creek/Cedar Grove led to replay in the championship games.

All good points, Mr. Official.

No one felt more terrible than the officials in each of those games. Again, the human element.

I don’t doubt it. Not an easy job, and to get the best I am a believer in increasing the pay to offset the BS you do have to deal with to make it worth hanging around!

Love of the game, giving back to the game and being there for the kids - that’s the “why” I do it.

Both are equally egregious

Agreed, but I think Sandy Creek one is worse because the official isn’t having to watch for anything other than the ball crossing the goal line. Not worried about a catch or feet in bounds or PI like in Peach Co.

That’s true. I was at the Benz watching the peach co game waiting for Coffee and Lee to play. That ref know he blew that call when he looked up at the jumbo tron and then dropped his head. It’s was nuts

Now do Lincoln vs Bowdon call from last year. Or Jefferson-LaGrange semifinal call from 2024.

Sandy Creek because it decided the game. There was still plenty of football left in the Peach Game

I am a Peach fan since my wife graduated there, but that Sandy Creek call is God awful. Their credentials should have been pulled!

coach it was very brutal!! i was on that staff and CG and it sucked!

PEACH 🏈was Robbed! And the very reason Instant Replay is now used in the State Championship game!! Peach will be back in 2026!

Peach! It prompted the 15 page catch rule for GHSA

Florida guy here and I gotta say SC call is worse. I can see how 2 refs see 2 different things (both wrong) in the PC game, but the ball is NO WHERE NEAR the goal line in the Creek game.

Peach County.

Sandy Creek v Cedar Grove for sure!

The Sandy Creek one SUCKS, but I can at least see what the ref THOUGHT he saw. I can’t fathom what the refs thought they saw on the first one.

Calhoun

Peach 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

2023

I don’t think it’s close. That Sandy Creek call was so egregious. The Peach Co call is terrible but we’ve seen that call by NCAA and NFL refs and then be overturned by video review. That Sandy Creek call wasn’t even close

Both are horrible but one is something you can't miss due to a player obstructing your view or anything. That WR got robbed because he tried to reach out late ( while being down ).

I watched both games live it’s hard to pick of the two.…ima go Peach bc that one didn’t have the media attention as the Cedar game gained
