This maybe one of the most unrealist posts in history. So you are saying the refs beat Perry Central? And are you insinuating that the refs would help you win at Perry?

No. I'm not saying that at all.

I'm saying that if a team is playing on a floor that they practice on daily, with familiar surroundings, familiar rims, familiar seating,---it is a home court advantage. A team is more in a comfort zone. It means as much a 10 points in some cases.
I'm not saying that's what happened in this case, but occasionally referees have a say in the outcome too. I mean, these people will be rated by the coaches from their region for post season tournament assignments. If nothing else, the home team will almost always get the 50/50 calls if they are playing an out-of-region team. It's just the way it is. In a game where two teams are fairly even in talent, those 50/50 calls are a big advantage.
