It would be hard to win in SL with officiating. Mabe is a great player but gets touched or gets any contact he goes to the line. IDK what the foul count was but at one time it was 9-0 SL.
End of first qtr I think BC was up 2 down at the half by 4. Come out third qtr. 8-0 run by BC. The whistles came out when BC went up 7 in the third. By the end of the 3rd. BC down by 4.
The whistle from crew was the difference maker.

BC played zone most of the game. Defense was based of the refs. BC couldn’t touch. It was whistled but SL could push with two hand and throw body blocks and nothing was called. BC fan base was witnessing a good ol fashioned homer crew.

Mabe tried to guard Spur and I think he probably had 30 on him which I thought was odd match up. Mabe couldn’t stay in front  or guard him. BC didn’t hit shots like they normally do as a team. Lived by the three and died by it.

Neutral court. BC wins this game. I don’t think the foul count would be that lopsided. Turnovers did kill BC in this one as well. Really not forced by SL pressure. Just bad passing/decisions with the ball.

He is on life support after that beat down lol. Just kidding. Was a great game for 2 1/2 quarters then Boyd appeared to get dead legs, settled, and reached a lot. Spurlock is great offensive player....as good offensively he matches as bad on defense. Just the 2nd time I've seen him but both times he seems to alienate teammates and get into it with officials(as did his grandfather at least the radio said was his grandfather who was escorted out and got to make a early drive home). I have seen several of the posts(and I enjoy them lol) regarding Ashland and Boyd---let me say that Z is twice the player Spurlock is in my opinion.

You are close to correct. The top 3 are SL, HC, and Bell in that order. Knox is not in the equation other than a decent record via a very weak schedule(same as last year minus any kind of post defender this year)I lost all respect for Coach Madden this year when he cancelled not once but twice against Bell. Corbin has a punchers chance. Thats it no one else should have a chance.

I think you are spot on, my friend. South, HC, and Bell. That's it. Corbin with a puncher's chance with a good draw and a subpar performance by Bell/HC in round one or semis.  The more I think about this, the more I think South might pull it off. Mabe's one of those special talents that can lead a team to a region title, almost by himself. He's a rare gem.  Without Mabe, South wouldn't even be in the conversation. With him, they could possibly win a state title. He's that big of a force for that team.

Again just my opinion but those final 7 games for SL were as tough of a 7 game stretch for any 13th team in memory and they either won or were in every game. The old saying is "hitting their stride" and I believe they are hitting it at the right time. I know I'm going to piss Grid off but I just don't think Bell played the schedule HC played and for sure not as good as Souths. And with Mabe, outside of foul trouble or injury, their is no one that can hold him. The worst game I've ever seen him play against Boyd and he had 28 and made life miserable for what should be a allstate guard in Spurlock. Again everyone is entitled to their own opinions

Your opinion is your opinion. What’s not opinion. Spur scored on Mabe at will. Hitting threes on him 4-5 times and blew by him on numerous occasions. If Spur got the same whistle Mabe got this game. He would had 40+. Mabe scored majority of his points from the fouls line last night. I’d say he shot 14 to 16 foul shots easily. If he shot it and missed. Whistle blew.

Mabe is a good player. Taking nothing from him. To say the guy he guarded scored on him at will and not miserable.
Spur about made him fall twice and hit threes and layup a few times. I don’t know what game you were watching.

I watched this game, and I can say I have seen a lot worse at about 10 different gyms, but i will do you one better since we talk about foul discrepancy. 

Imma go back in time, last year at the 2A state tournament Bell County had a 21 point lead at the half, and lost to Boyd County. There was a 14-2 foul discrepancy in the a second half. Neutral announcers could not believe it, even on a neutral floor it was insane all because a single official got upset with a bell county fan at the beginning of the third quarter and went on to call every thing under the sun, including a 10 second call after 7 seconds of having the ball that I personally lost my voice over. 

Last season Bell went to Boyd in football, and without a doubt had over 250 yards in penalties. They had not 1 but 2 Tds called back and a PI on a 4th down that set them up 1st and Goal. 
I love to bash refs at corbin, south, manchester, anywhere in the 14th, etc. HOWEVER, a Boyd county fan will never get any sympathy from a Bell County fan. Said the same thing in a football thread this season. The only two fan bases I give no sympathy for on officials is boyd, corbin and anyone from the 14th.

I don’t think BC will lose any sleep over your lack of sympathy. Haha

Just as SL won’t lose any sleep over us BC fans losing their minds.
