WE GOT SCREWED!!!!!

Was a great game. Starting the forth qtr. Lawrence Co. was down 15. But made a huge comeback to cut the lead to 1 with just over a min to go and had the ball. And here is were we got the shaft.

Lawrence player shot the ball and #42 (Riddle) got the rebound around the free throw line, but when he went to take off tripped over his on feet and fell and slid across the floor about 3 feet (should have been a traveling call,.) then while he was slidding on the floor he lost the ball in which a Lawrence Co. player went to get the ball and they called a faoul on LC,. then about 20 sec later they still had the ball when there guard went to make a move and fell to the ground again., (another traveling call not called) so what do they do call a foul on us to put them to the line with a 1 point lead so he hits both free throws and we take the ball down and miss the shot and have to foul, well this time he misses the free one and Shawn Thompson got the rebound and raced down the floor where they called a time out with 3.8 secs left and Kyle Bradley got a shot to tie the game as time expired and Shelby Valley got out with the Win.

But it all started with 40 sec left in the first half when they called a foul on Shawn Thompson on a mysterious foul, we had just got the rebound off a missed shot and only down four. well they got the ball and hit a three and then we turn it over on the inbound pass and they missed the shot but went out of bounds on us. Well then on there inbound play Chandler Thompson gets hit with a moving screen and again they called it on us and set up another three for Shelby Valley to put us down 10 at the half.

All and all it was a great game it is sorry that the officals took this one away from LC in the end.

Shawn Thompson had 32 points 18 rebounds 5 steals and 4 assist.
I am not sure the totals on Kyle Bradley but he did hit 4 three's.

Come on Batpuff! Blame it on the refs? The call when Riddle fell down was a bad call. I had a great view and he just fell. Mike Hall was behind him and I guess it looked like to him that Riddle was pushed. When Mitchell Riddle fell down, he kept his dribble alive the whole time while falling which isn't a walk. What about the manhandling of #3 Justice out top. LC kept hands on his waist all night. Funny how all the bad calls were made against LC. Don't be so biased. Lawrence County shot bad shots all night long. Did you not see any bad calls go against SV? When they played at Lawrence County all I heard was how Valley got cheated. Didn't believe it then, and don't believe your protest now. Do you really believe the refs cheated LC?

By the way, LCs fans were a little out of control--screaming personal taunts at the refs. The guy in the suit was especially out of hand. I thought he might be the principal, but once he opened his mouth, I was sure he wasn't.
