Ok, the Ennis vs Corsicana game went to overtime. Corsicana failed to score on their possession. We scored a touchdown. That made the score 27-21.

I thought the game was over at that point, but the referees made us kick the extra point, making the score 28-21.

I'm just curious what the rule is here. I've seen overtime games where the first team failed to score, and the second team scored a touchdown, and the game was over, with no extra point.

Just curious about that.

I assume this was a district game? The UIL has an exception to the NCAA rules. Under the exception, if a district game is being played and the district uses the "positive points" tiebreaker for determining playoff positions, then the extra point play is supposed to be made, even if the game is already won.

Yeah, it was a district game.

Got it. I was not aware of that.
