Others have noticed the horrific officiating in this game. Seeing the game in person the inconsistency in calling penalties was staggeringly obvious. I think the head linesman was the same guy who overturned the Westfield interception in the Madison game - another ghastly mistake that greatly influenced the outcome in that game.
Also, the frustrated Westfield "fan" is just plain wrong - Westfield had no issues getting lined up and most of the penalties against them were ticky-tack that could be called on every play. Basically the refs "let Chantilly play" while nailing Westfield for every possible interpretable penalty.
Also to note is Westfield's starting QB and leading tackler on defense did not play.
