I don't know if things have changed in recent years in the 13th with their officiating, but if it hasn't then Perry can consider a one point loss in Manchester as a moral victory. Back in the day when they had Kirk, Woods, Ashurst, and several more, it was nearly impossible for outsiders to win at a 13th region gym.

I hope that stuff doesn't go on anymore. I was told by a referee friend of mine that during the Keith era coach Keith made it known that if you were calling a big Clay Co game and you called it the way Coach Keith wanted, a new suit would be waiting for you at Dobson and Keith clothing store. My friend said he never accepted the suit but his officiating partner sure did.

During the 1991 season, Clay Co. was deep into their 100+ game home court winning streak. Bo Rhoden of Corbin tipped in a missed shot for the Corbin win a couple seconds before the final buzzer. An official who had not yet crossed the half court line called over the back and waved off the basket. Just one example.
