ouch
Really thought North would be more competitive. Also thought this game would decide the district #1 seed. I was wrong on both accounts. North will have to beat Pulaski to get to host a first round playoff game.
Congratulations to Southwestern!!!!
I heard that this game got a little ugly late, with North Laurel committing a lot of personal fouls. Anyone have the details?

North Laurel didn't take too well to being pushed around up front and on the scoreboard. They seemed more interested in fighting than playing most of the 4th quarter. I think it was the immaturity of a sophomore laden team that wasn't used to losing. It was bad enough that the referees called both head coaches to midfield to let them know that it was out of hand and if it continued that they were going to call the game.
It was really on the officials to let it get to that point. They were just a bad crew.
