[More Cowbell]

According to www.pikevillebasketball.com Pikeville was whistled for 22 fouls and Shelby Valley 23 for the game. The game must have been pretty evenly called. I also didn't know that the game was so close at the end of the 3rd quarter. Pikeville was only down 4 until Valley hit a 3 at the buzzer. Pikeville will be very dangerous when they get more time together. They always play the life out of Valley although obviously always outmanned.

I clicked on the link, and although I did see a short game recap and a listing of each team's player points, I didn't see anything about fouls.

Still, I wasn't implying that I thought the game was called in favor of Pikeville. I believe SV ended up with a couple more fouls overall, but it seemed the refs were calling things fairly even on both ends. To me, the big discrepancy seemed to be from one half to the next. It sure seemed there were WAY more fouls in the first half, then the refs loosened up in the second.
