“Seems like Orem has buddied up”. Funny. Fact of the matter is, Pike Centrals style of play leads to more fouls or he potential for them, depending on how the refs call it. I didn’t see the alleged over the back you’re speaking of so I can’t really comment on it. But Pike Central has a very good year. Congrats on a great season. But Pikeville has consistently shown over the course of the season to be one of the better teams in the 15th region. Don’t dismiss the whole because you feel like the coach “buddied up” to refs (hint: they ALL try to work refs) when she has shown all season how well she has developed these girls over the past two seasons. Pike Central as a whole really isn’t in a position to accuse or imply cheating right now anyway.

The girls program didn't have anything to do with that stuff so I wouldn't quite say that. BUT I do agree that no one got cheated. I was there and a lot of the foul calls were actually fouls. Were they a few that wasn't or could've fallen in the its the postseason let them play category? Yeah but that's the case with every game. The Stanley play was a bad call. Plus in my opinion from my point of view they weren't much there for a technical. Especially to end a career like that. I do think based on that and the games last night the refs need to calm down with the technicals. While I don't think Pike Central or Shelby Valley boys last night got cheated the refs are letting these topics have air by calling these questionable technicals. It obviously made a difference with Stanley and Potter for Shelby Valley last night in my opinion. Again I don't think anyone got cheated out of a ball game. Also im not saying the officials should let the players say or do whatever they want without a Technical. But really they should decide what is necessary and understand this time of the year emotions go a little high. Trash talk will happen and players may complain about a call. Their fighting for there season and seniors for their high school playing career. Let some stuff go.
