First off I feel that Bart had his kids way more prepared for Valley than Valley for Pikeville. Secondly if Pikeville went to the basket there was a foul call and if Valley did it was a no call every single time. Pikeville was way more aggressive and rough on defense than Valley was, but still managed to shoot 21 more free throws? No one will admit it on here because Valley is hated, but they got the shaft...

But... That is part of the game in eastern Kentucky. A good team has to rise above, not lay down and quit. I agree that Pikeville did want it more than Valley, but all other variables were not equal. I would be happy to sit down and watch the game film with anyone that says it was fairly officiated. I would have love to have seen the kids decide this one on their own. Either way it isn't their fault, good luck tonight Panthers.

I will take you up on that if you want. We can watch it on WPRG or the tape I made from the other side of the gym than PRG was on. Both teams got called for stuff, both teams got away with stuff. I think part of the difference was the attitude of the players. Every foul against Valley, they was questioning the refs. Fouls against Pikeville the players accepted it and walked away. Attitudes wont win you much respect or breaks from the refs.
