Coach says officials were inconsistent in Pilots' 61-12 loss to Cathedral.
After suffering through a 61-12 drubbing at home Thursday night by Cathedral, Banning coach Tim McTyer saved his harshest criticism for the officials.
"It seems like no matter what we do, whether we're hitting too hard or not hitting properly, they're calling something phantom," McTyer said. "But it's not (called) both ways. And it's hard because every week you're going to get a different set of refs who have a different emphasis on each thing. Each week, you prepare for something and fix something ... their emphasis is on something else."
McTyer, who said the Pilots were victims of several such hits, was upset about a personal foul penalty called on one of his defensive players in the first half that helped lead to a Cathedral touchdown. In the fourth quarter, McTyer ran to the middle of the field to protest and scream at two officials after a Cathedral defender made what he believed to be a similar hit on one of his players. No penalty was called.
His heated exchanges with the game's officials led to a verbal confrontation between the coach and the umpire after the game.
"Great job today," McTyer said, tongue-in-cheek.
Still, the officials couldn't have prevented Cathedral from hammering the Pilots (0-2). The Phantoms (2-0) pounded them in the second quarter and rolled the rest of the way. After playing Cathedral even and finishing with a 6-6 tie after one quarter, the Phantoms, one of many programs to benefit from St. Bernard's
decision to skip varsity football this season, blew the contest open with a 30-point blitz in the second.Miscues and an injury to wide receiver Iakopo Moaaliitele contributed to the Pilots' demise. Their inability to stop the Phantoms' offense, particularly the Pilots' poor pass defense, which resulted in Cathedral receivers frequently getting open in the secondary.
Banning's first mistake occurred when it lined up for a punt near midfield early in the second quarter. But the snap from center sailed over the head of punter Jessie Montes de Oca with just 24 seconds gone in the second quarter, as Cathedral recovered on the Banning 14.
Quarterback Hayden Rettig, who threw seven touchdowns, five of them in the first half, hit wide receiver Cameron Akins about a minute later for a 14-6 Cathedral lead and the rout was on.
Banning quarterback Sergio Ramirez was his team's leading rusher with 70 yards on 16 carries. He completed 14 of 29 passes for 182 yards and a pair of touchdowns.
