[Beef]

First off svcatfan, Pikeville got there by play very good basketball and beating a couple of good teams and very much deserved to be in the Finals and played an outstanding game tonight.

Second Beef sounds like sour grapes to me. Both teams acted in a manner at times that were not that of champions but if you look at it all but one incident involved freshman and sophomores from both teams. Winning/Losing with pride and respect will come in time after some lessons from the coaches. The big man showed his jersey name at half court turning to the pep section so not sure what you meant by in front of parents.

Shertleff, Parish and Walls played great games. I agree Parish was allowed to camp in the lane but he was getting away with it and can't blame if for doing it. I thought at times the Honaker kid #2 hurt PHS as his shot selection was bad, shooting 2 airballs from 3 a crucial points of the game, but he is a freshman.

Both teams fought hard and SF just played a little better. Both teams shot FT well, just SF found a way to win. Thought R. Johnson played great and hit big free throws again tonight and Stanley really got the Raiders going tonight. Wes Hall played tonight like he is capable of and what a lift he was to his team. Looks like both teams are starting to get it together and look for both to make a lot of noise the rest of the way. Good luck to the Panthers and Raiders. SF keep it up in All A.

Just something I notice toward the end of the game when both teams were calling Tos, Pikeville band kept playing a song that the SF fans had a cheer to and the song got them up and they were very loud and sure it help SF players and PHS players had to be effected as the benches were on the SF fan side of the floor. The only time the PHS entire crowd got up was for the school song, thought band director and members should have noticed and not played the song that got SF fans involved. Play your school song.

I agree with all of your posts in this tread ST....good breakdown...and I noticed that SF was also doing "HEY" with our band and I tought that it might be bad for us to be playing it too.
