The former NFL player received a backlash on social networks for defeat. He would have decided not to make the stopwatch work to end the game faster. On Wednesday, he responded to the fury in an article on Facebook.
“Looking at 73-0 in half, I looked each of my 39 boys in my eyes and I ask if they wanted to continue. 100% said yes! So that’s what we did. I love my boys,” he wrote in a post. “Gave everything.”
Williamson’s head coach Antonio Coleman told Al.com that he had asked the referees to continue running the stopwatch with his 73-0 team at halftime.

“I asked the referee,” said Coleman at the point of sale. “He said ok. He asked me if I had a problem going to eight minutes. I said no. He went to ask Sherman, and he said he didn’t want to run the clock.”
Williams said last week that an execution clock had been suggested but did not say if he had chosen to agree to implement it.
“A racing clock was suggested, but they did not give us a race clock,” he said via Al.com. “They continued to want to stop the stopwatch, and it’s ok. It’s football. It’s a 48 -minute match. I didn’t ask for favors. We have to go out and continue to train and play until there are zeros on the clock.”
Williams is his first year as a chief coach at Murphy High School.
