Betsy Layne 56 - Prestonsburg 54 - 58th District Tournament

I have always heard and of course this comes from referees that they don't look at the clock so they don't know the fouls, score or time. I find this hard to believe, however some will tell us that. I watched the game there and also the replay and the player was ten ft. from reaching half court when the little bump took place. Looking back and putting myself in the refs spot a foul is a foul no matter how much time on the clock. It was a terrible time for this to happen and certainly ended the season of a team that has been working for 6 months just to end up looking at the clock with .1 seconds left and four feethrows awaiting the other team. Six months of all the running and preparation and it comes down to .1 seconds on a tough call. Coach Pack may feel as if he could have waited for a better time to verbally get after the ref that made the call or he may also regret not getting thrown out of the gym when it took place. I think on this one it may be an escort out of the gym. The referee that called the foul is a good ref and he called a foul that 95% probably do not at this time in the game. Do these guys really never look at the clock? Great game to watch and congratulations to both schools, I just wish that there could have been a three from the outside to win it and not a controversial call.


I don't know how many times you have seen him ref but he is one of the worst refs in the region and first of all I didn't care who won and I am definitely not a Prestonsburg fan but there is no way that call should have been made the Betsy Layne girl wasn't even trying that hard to get it up the court and not looking for a shot they were just willing to go to overtime. The refs are told unless it is an obvious foul they are not suppose to make that call. They are not suppose to figure into the out come but in the 15th region they find a way.
But it was a great game to watch anyway and how about the fans going after the ref and even pushed him and nothing was done to the Prestonsburg fan.
