Here is what I posted on the bluegrasspreps board .. which of course they deleted within minutes .. I was truely sickened by their display.

Okay ... There is a reason we went for two instead of tying the game and going to OT I will get to that in a minute. First off I lost the bet so no more, I'm a man of my word.
First let me say about Marion that I was amazed at how well a small O-Line blocked and opened up holes for their plethora of runners.
Now I am not going to mention any names or #'s to try and avoid getting in trouble .. but ....
That was the worst team and fans I've ever had to deal with. 5 personal fouls on their team. A BE kid caught a pass and went 66 yards. Next play the same kid scored on a 1 yard run. The next time BE had the ball the same kid went out 25 yards for a pass. While the ball was still 10 yards away from him, one of their kids blindsided him (he absolutely knew the ball was no where near the BE player) and caused a concussion. Pass Interference and should have been a personal foul. The kid had the guts to argue with the ref about the play. The whole time the kid was arguing with the ref another one of the players was making a crude sexual jesture to our players and our crowd.
Early in the third a BE player ran 75 yards for a touchdown. The same kid was in on defense and two plays later when the play was dead a Marion player speared him in the stomach with his helmet .. personal foul .. our kid leaves in an ambulance.
Then one of their fans (a older brother of one of the players) stayed on our side of the field and threatened physical violence against any fan who yelled out anything toward the field. Twice the police told him to get back on his side as the laughed around and joked with him
Worst sportsmanship I have ever ever seen. I will be calling the principal of Marion on Monday morning as will 15-20 other BE parents.
Early in the thread I mentioned why we went for two. We didn't want to give them the opportunity for more cheap shots in OT so we went for two and failed. Hats off to them for stopping it
I hope to God it plays out that we meet them in the playoffs. When they played the game right they were a good solid team hats off to them... but I was sickened by what I saw from their team and one of their fans.

It was Nate that was blindsided on the pass play. Not only did the kid know the ball was no where near Nate but then he proceeded to high five other players and taunt Nate. Then he argued the call, while another kid on their team grabbed his crotch and shook it at the team and the fans. Nate somehow played the last two plays of the 1st half.
Then was woozy at half-time. He couldn't count by 7 backwards from 100 until the very end of the half-time. The trainer took his helmet away from him because he was headed out on the field for the kick off. He sat out the 3rd Quarter. But the last 3 minutes of the 3rd he was on the trainer about going back in. I went down and told the trainer if he thought Nate was alright he had my permission to go back in.
The trainer put him through some tests which Nate passed all of them, so he got to go back in. He ended up scoring the touchdown with :20 seconds left.
The coach decided to go for two because of the actions of Marion County. IMO it was a dumb call. It was a district game and he should have tied it and played for overtime. For anyone who has listened .. the kid who left in an ambulance was Claine Reisinger our leading rusher on the season. Tony Knox our second leading rusher DNP because of injury. Nate had two catches for 63 yards. About 12 runs for 60 or so yards and two TD's.
