Well you can tell who the announcer was rooting for 😂

[@CecyR6]

Yeah it has the Thompson logo in the top left 😂

[@fitfogey]

Yeah the T kinda gave it away? It was Thompson radio.

Thompson announcer: We Held 'Em!!! We Held 'Em!!! Goal Line Stand!!! Well Damn...We Still Lost!!!

[@jelly7310]

Thompson!!!! Thompson!!!!!

[@mdinhawaii]

True, but some of the best announcers are homers though... like the late great Larry Munson, or Harry Carey, and Gene Deckerhoff. All unapologetically biased.

[@natesherrill4155]

Bro Hoover’s quarterback is niceee 🤯

[@JermaineSims-j3k]

He’s at Arizona State now

[@flxgld7096]

I Finally was able to see the two of these teams this year... Very impressed. I see why the rankings were high on Thomson in the preseason rankings! Athletes all over the field for both squads

[@eliwerner2951]

You could hear his heartbreak a little more every time Hoover made a play on that last drive

[@youtubedude185]

What a game!!!! Gotta love high school football!!!!

[@marcanthony7020]

Love the resignation in the announcer’s voice when he says “he’ll never get all the way up the field.”

[@kingkong7617]

The announcer was definitely for Thompson, not prejudiced just a little, no a hell of a lot!

[@UGAmedic8714]

I mean, it was their broadcast on NFHS...

[@dfin9246]

Good Game. Both teams defensive was impressive. 5 *CB & 5* Safety got exposed. #7 and #11 edge guys there is no answer in HS football for those guys. #2 wr is a Swiss army knife(all purpose). Its clear most of the air attack go thru him. Thompson is well curated team. The rematch between hoover vs Thompson will be another classic for 2021.

[@jacobcrawfordmtb]

Number 7 edge is the number 1 Edge in the country, Number 11 is a Junior and the number 4 player in the country of the class of 2023

[@nateswaggin9827]

No lol

[@taismith7845]

No

[@andersonmcbride29]

No. I thought we wouldn’t win this one. They’re expecting all of Hoover and all of alabaster to be there in round 3 of the playoffs, but the met can only hold around 10,000 and they’re thinking more than 12k

Bro, I was up in the band. And as a band kid, you get booed and talked smack to when we walk off of the field from pregame. I wasn’t gonna say anything. We were losing at halftime, so the same thing happens. But oh boy were those some sad Thompson fans when just smiled and waved to at the end. All the yelling and screaming makes you lose your voice and ables you to sing really low the next morning.

Not even fair. We played IMG academy a few years ago and we got smoked (in our prime too). I don’t think we stand a chance against those California boys.

[@bryanpryce6968]

So the camera man doesn't even catch the T.D.

I didn’t see it in the stands from where the camera was at so it must’ve been bad angle or people in the way

[@thetrussell0413]

Wow! What an exciting game for all 80 people in the stands! High school football at its finest

[@JDaddee]

You only see one section of the field. Been by that stadium and it isn't small. Underarmor sponsors their sports and the logo is everywhere. What see is portable seating for visitors. "The Hoover Met Stadium is the home of the SEC Baseball Tournament and Hoover High School football. It has a capacity of 10,800 and can be expanded to a capacity of 16,000 with portable seating on the field. Other amenities include 10 private skyboxes, a banquet room, a patio overlooking the field, press areas, locker rooms, training rooms, Wi-Fi access, and a picnic area."

[@emes1845]

What Jason Roberts said. Plus, and I haven't done my research on this but I'm fairly certain Hoover and Thompson are 2 of the largest 5 high schools in the state. It's been years ago but Hoover football had their own reality television show on MTV. Tua, the Miami Dolphins QB, went to Thompson and his little brother is starting QB at U of Maryland. He was at Bama but the OC from U of A took the head job at Maryland and Tua's little brother followed him. The same with Hoover, double digit players signing major D-1 scholarships yearly. Hoover plays against some of the nations best, from other states, EVERY year on ESPN. Just a few factoids off the top of my head. I'm not a "fan" of either school. In fact, I've heard rumors (I AM a 35+ year high school official in another sport here, we gossip like an old ladies beauty shop) that both schools illegally recruit players to their respective programs. I mean, c'mon, Tua and family are from Hawaii state, this is Alabama. I DON'T have proof but it wouldn't surprise me. Both head coaches make, and I'm going to be pretty near, close to $200k a year, if not more, including car allowance, speaking fees, etc. Here endeth my rant.

@@emes1845 if the away side looks like that then it's small. Sorry to tell you

@@JDaddee the Michael Jordan room is the banquet room and it’s pretty nice. It’s a pain trying to get to school in the morning because you have all of the high schoolers, 1,000 middle schoolers, and a bunch of people trying to go to the met to watch baseball, all on a 4 lane road

These were all college players playing in high school. Don't at me

[@jacobyoung8474]

What not to do during a broadcast as an unbiased announcer. Be biased.

[@kdbama4]

It was a Thompson broadcast. If it was a hoover broadcast, the announcer would've been pro hoover. NFHSNETWORK always have 2 broadcasts to choose from for both schools for the fans not attending. Fans want to hear their announcers more than the other teams announcers. That is what you are listening too.

Is this high school ?

Yep

[@leonmatthewsiv1699]

what happened to the referee?

[@justinhanft91]

Not an upset if both teams were undefeated going into the game..

[@jonbell8744]

No dog in the fight, but it is an upset if one team was ranked, and the team who beat them wasn't.

[@kdbama4]

@@jonbell8744 it was an upset because Thompson was nationally ranked in the top 10 but lost its QB at halftime. It would've been a different outcome if he didn't get hurt. The soph QB inserted was not ready for that moment at the time.

Looks like Thompson quarterback got hurt early
