I was at the game. I must say the blackcats played much much better, especially in the first half. I expected JB to be much more agressive and push the ball harder, they did not. Clint Stepp had 20, Clark had I believe 18 and Tate with 10. This is the stats I heard from the TV replay. Clint Stepp was the difference in the game imo because he just kept drilling the trey everytime the blackcats would make a run. Oh yes, how any JB fan could complain about the refs amazes me. JB's big man was over the back all night and Clark was doing the dipsy do jump step walk all night. There is no doubt that coach JD Crisp is the most laid back coach in the area, but tonight he became totally unglued on the ref because of the constant over the back "not being made". Anyway, JB won the game and has a nice team. Pburg played better.....than usual.

Most people have the wrong idea about "over the back". People automatically think if a player behind another player gets a rebound, it is over the back. First, there has to be contact. Second, the player in back can jump straight up without being "over the back". I'm going to guess that the JBS player is taller than Stephens, so a kid can't be penalized for being taller or being able to jump higher. The player being can even jump straight up, reach over the player in front, and if there is no contact, it is not a foul. Common sense tells you that a player who is 4 inches taller has that capability.
