[BlackcatAlum]

And here it goes again with the refs.. The refs don't make an 18 pt difference. Sorry

In the first half, this game was not called both ways. I'm one that will not usually complain about the refs but it was terrible in the first half, and at halftime Pburg had 12 fouls to Perry's 3. In the 2nd half the referees finally began to start calling more fouls on Perry's guards as they come out slapping & holding onto Pburg's guards when they made a move on them. Pburg kept it close till late in the 3rd quarter when Chris Noble caught fire (BTW the kid is for real).

Prestonsburg was without forward Austin Gearheart, who was at the state-finals receiving district 7 MVP award. I thought he could have helped the Blackcats on the boards because #25 for Perry really done a great job at boxing out and controlling the paint.

I saw a lot of improvement from Pburg as they played much better as a team and didn't turn the ball over nearly as much as they have been, but once again rebounds killed us (see above) and not being able to find someone else to score besides Tackett & Burchett hurt us a lot also.

Congrats Commodores!
