Worst officiated game I have ever witnessed. These refs should be taken in front of the administration and never be allowed at the Sweet 16 again, 4 of your starters don't foul out and only 1 player on the other team have 4 fouls. This game was freaking ridiculous and I cannot believe the refs let it get out of hand, you could clearly see they had no intentions of letting Shelby Valley win this game. Valley would make a run and then the refs would call a foul. The one boy for Elliot that got hurt knocked Ashley to the ground, and there was no foul called. When Shelby Valley was trying to foul to stop the clock, the refs let 5 seconds run off, earlier in the game Valley didn't have to touch the refs and they were calling fouls left and right, horrible game, keep your heads up Valley, you were the better team. When 32 of a team's 68 points come from the charity stripe, you know something is up.

So the officials had something to gain by not "letting" SV win? Maybe they should call more fouls in the 15th! Someone from a different board said that SV could have been called for a foul almost every trip down the floor in the region. They got beat by a much better team. There is a reason Elliott was #9 and SV was #15 going into the game. Elliott went through a few wars in the 16th, which is much stronger than the 15th and it showed last night.

The kids should have adjusted to the way the game was being called, Elliott did. SV fouled 3 3 point attempts thats 9 ft's right there and those were no doubters. SV also started fouling at the 4 minute mark, do you not think that helped spread the free throw margin out?

Was it the refs fault SV stepped out of bounds 3 or more times to?
