Mullins is having a great game with 12 points to lead all scores and also in rebounds with 6 in a defensive struggle between these two teams. Cox for Harlan has 6 points also.

[Backwoods]

Brossart comes storming back takes the lead. The officiating is terrible according to the radio announcers. Brossart is getting all the calls. Harlan is down by 4 going into the 4th.

[Backwoods]

Harlan's guards are getting mugged every trip down court and the officials won't call any fouls unless it's for Brossart. The whole team's in foul trouble seems like. Brossart's still not committed 7 fouls in the half. Harlan has 11.

It seems to me that every time one of those mountain teams start losing in a tournament, it's suddenly the officials fault. I've seen lots of whining and crying from some regions fans at state tournaments over the years. I don't feel there's a conspiracy. Just because the officials in some regions let you mug eachother, doesn't mean it's not a foul when correctly officiated. Maybe they're just calling the fouls that are fouls and the less athletic team is fouling?

I'm just going by what the radio announcers are saying you idiot. Where's Highlands this year?

^ HHS is not an 'A' team

No,but they'd be lucky to beat single "A" Harlan. Harlan got shafted today by the officials and it's ashame they couldn't let both teams play their games and decide it for themselves.

As it turns out, Harlan and Highlands have a common opponent in Whitley Co. Whitley beat Harlan by 16 but lost to Highlands on a neutral court by 11. I know that it's not a conversation ender, but that's a 27-point gap.

Harlan got blown out. The officials didn't make it a blowout. Harlan isn't capable of beating Brossart or Highlands.

Highlands also lost at home to Notre Dame by 18 and Harlan lost to them on a nuetral court by 19. One point difference. How's that fit into your equation?

Has Harlan ever won anything in any sport?

Has Harlan ever won anything in any sport?

Yes,we won the boy's state basketball championship. One of the greatest Wildcat's of the fabulous five played at Harlan. The only two sport All American to play at UK. Wallace "Wah Wah" Jones. Football and Basketball. Who was Highland's greatest athlete? And have they ever won anything in basketball?

Mountain schools looking good!!! Owlsey struggled but they played a very good team!!1

In my summation of the Brossart Harlan game, I never mentioned Highlands. Backwoods did. Why can't you accept the fact that Harlan's girls basketball team got waxed, and the beatdown had nothing to do with officiating? In this particular game, Harlan flat out wasn't any good in the second half on this day. I feel that losing team's fans from that part of the state frequently blame officiating for their teams ousters. I've sat there and listened to it in the past. I have nothing against Harlan or the good people of your teams school. I just don't like officials bearing the blame for the ineptitude of the team. I'm not even an official, but feel the need to defend them.

As for Highlands, Highlands has the most or 2nd most 9th Region basketball titles. Holmes may or may not be first. Highlands has reached the finals of the Sweet 16 twice in boys and also in girls basketball. Most recently was 1997. From 1997 to 2001 Highlands was in the Sweet 16 four out of five years.

Highlands greatest athlete is debatable. There have been countless great athletes in all sports. Highlands has put many players in the NFL. There's a couple Highlands players with Super Bowl Rings. There's also the leading scorer in the history of basketball in Ky. It happens to be a female.

Wah Wah was indeed a great athlete from Harlan, and I'm glad he chose Kentucky. I don't have to knock Harlan to feel good about my school.

Please remember that Brossart crushing Harlan had nothing to do with Highlands. I've also never coached any of the players attending Brossart, so I can't take credit for them embarrassing your team either.

lion #1 said he was quitting this site but I hope he comes back,he's a good guy,I know him well. I think he said it because you,in a derogatory manner,asked "has Harlan ever won anything in any sport?" and he was just letting you know they had and kind of compared them to Highlands who hasn't achieved one yet. Remember,lefty, your opinion is your opinion and mine is that although Brossart played hard the officials put the crush on Harlan. Brossart just reaped the rewards. It was the radio announcers that said that Harlan was getting called for touch fouls and Brossart was getting away with absolute assault on our guards who were trying to get the ball down court. Where were those calls in the first half?

[Wideleft01]

I wasn't there, so I'll assume the announcers were correct. I've also been to plenty of games where the official doesn't call it the same at both ends. Sometimes a coach will ride a ref. Next thing you know, the other team gets every call that could potentially go either way.
