20 yard penalty?
« on: August 27, 2018, 08:27:29 am »
The 10:00 am 2nd grade game at Jenks JTA Sequoyah took a 20 yard penalty because one of the Jenks players got his private parts stepped on. The officials didn't appear to see it happen, the kid was just holding his crotch and crying and he told the official that someone stepped on his private parts. If they didn't see it, how do they know it was intentional? I understand it should be a personal foul if it was intentional, but if the official doesn't see it it's generally not a penalty, and I've never heard of a 20 yard penalty. If it was incidental contact... well... welcome to football junior, have mom buy you a cup.
Work hard and never give up... If you think you can't... You're probably right.

I guess I will have to talk to the officials on this one.  How do you figure they didn't appear to see it happen, is this on film and you are reviewing?  If so, please send to bkelleyok@gmail.com and I will take a look at it. 
If they marked off 20 yards I am sure that was a mistake as there is no 20 yard penalties in football (unless it is tacked on to the end of the play and the play was for a 5 yard loss?)

Sequoyah had the ball a made a slight gain. They were already pushed back pretty deep, it was like 2nd and Dallas anyway. After the tackle was made the kid got up out of the pile and walked over to the official, holding himself. I will have to see if it's on our game film. We usually stop recording between plays.
