It's a given every night that there are going to be questionable calls. Tonight was no different. I thought both sides received some poor officiating that an average pee wee ref could make. Things like a block from a charge, walks, FOULS, and much more are just some of the things that this region's referees just do not have.

The game on the other hand was a great one. Magofffin took control early and dominated the second half and led by as much as I think 13. Lawrence County clawed back in the 3rd quarter and 4th and tied it up a time or two. Magoffin looked like an experienced team tonight though. They showed great poise and really looked like they wanted this game.

Thompson is a great ball player and clearly has support from the refs. He could have easily been fouled out in the 1st half if the right calls were made. Too many drives to the basket where there was plenty of contact but no call either way.

The hornets have another tough game tomorrow night and need to play at their best if they expect to win. Good luck to LC in the future and Magoffin County tomorrow.
