This is getting pathetic. These refs are determined to have SV playing their JV against Pikeville’s varsity before this is over.

Halftime foul totals: Pikeville with 8 players getting time and 12 fouls with Shelby Valley having 10 players getting time and 13 fouls.

End of game totals: Pikeville with 8 players and 21 fouls and Valley with 10 players, 28 fouls. Cameron Worrix only one who fouled out. Several fouls toward end of game contributed to total discrepancy. So it sounded like an overall fairly balanced called game. Pikeville was actually down shortly after 3rd started and rallied back.

Since I wasn’t there, I can only go by stats and what I’m told. I see that Connor Roberts attempted NO FTs in the 1st half and Watkins only 4. Watkins finished with 12 attempts and Roberts with 3. Sounds to me like they got into attack mode and drives to the basket will often result in more fouls called than standing around shooting 3s will. Potter once again put up huge numbers and shot most FT attempts for Valley so it sounds like they lapsed back into waiting for him to carry them.
