Was last-second missed field goal in Ohio high school football game actually good?

Tinora's Jacob Bishop appeared to win an Ohio high school football game with a field goal, but it was ultimately ruled no good

Ohio high school football was the center of controversy on Friday, September 6, as a field goal attempt in a game between Tinora and Archbold looks to have possibly been called incorrectly.

With Archbold leading 15-14 in the final seconds, Tinora kicker Jacob Bishop took the field for a 48-yard game-winning field goal attempt.

According to a video from @sports_nwo on X, the kick looks to have barely made it over the crossbar for a good field goal attempt, which would have given the Rams a 17-15 win and their first victory on the young season.

However, in the video, the official on the left side of the goalposts can be seen motioning with his hand that the kick went under the crossbar. The officials underneath the uprights then conferred and called the kick no good, giving Archbold a 15-14 win.

The loss sends Tinora to 0-3 on the season, while the win makes Archbold 2-1.

The game has been deemed official by the Ohio High School Association, according to OHSAA Director of Media Relations Tim Stried.

"There is no protest procedure in high school sports. The officials’ decisions are final," Stried said in an email response to High School Sports on SI asking if Tinora had any options left to protest the game.
