Interesting stat:

Who led the conference in points scored? The 7th place (tie-breaker = head-to-head) Milford Mavericks, with 183 points scored for an average of 26 per game. That's plenty of offense to win at least 5 out of 7 games if your defense and special teams are even average. Notice also that Milford was 6th in points allowed, with 152 for an average of 22 per game.

The score of the Pinckney/Milford game was actually 47-7, not 53-7. On the next-to-last play of the game, a Milford player raced for a TD. The refs, however, blew an inadvertent whistle right before the player crossed the goal line. The refs then mistakenly gave Milford the ball at the 3, the point at which the whistle blew, instead of replaying the down as rules dictate. In the confusion, the Pinckney scoreboard operator thought Milford was going for 2, rather than playing a down, so he gave them 6 points they didn't actually score. And, yes, I was referring to conference games only.

Another bizarre play happened in this game; perhaps the weirdest thing I have ever seen in a football game. A Milford player scored a TD, and a Pinckney player hit him late in the end zone for a 15-yard penalty. The Pinckney player argued and received an unsportsmanlike penalty. Since both were dead-ball fouls, Milford chose to have them both enforced on the kickoff. Then, on the PAT try, Pinckney roughed the kicker. The 45 yards in penalties placed the ball at the Pinckney 15 yard-line, where the Milford backup kicker teed-up the ball and promptly split the uprights from 25 yards out for a touchback. This put the ball 5 yards behind where they kicked off from. The score at this point was 41-7, so Milford didn't try to squib or on-side kick, as field position really didn't matter.

Why?

Nah, I think I'm retiring.
