To say that Rowan is the only team that hand checks is absurd. I saw most of the 16th region teams play and they all do it...especially Boyd and Ashland. Most of the teams in the 16th don't know how to play defense the way it should be taught. Lack of good defense will result in committing more fouls. It's all about this play and that play...get back to the basics!

Who said that Rowan county is the only team that hand checks? I think when people say that Rowan plays physical defense that it should be taken as a compliment. Rowan really "pushes" the offense and takes them out of their offensive sets by getting in the passing lanes. It doesn't necessarily mean that they hack. The closer the "d" means that some refs will be more prone to call "Ticky-tak" fouls. I like that the 9th region refs let the girls play.

Of course, when a team plays more aggressive defense and constantly presses they may find themselves in more situations where they my accidentally foul more than a team that plays a soft defense. Give me the aggressive defensive team anyday, regardless of who the refs are
