nice win

There wasn't a whole lot of "nice" to it.
The officials (as a crew) struggled badly. Very badly. The calls effected both teams, and I'm sure that the fans on both sides of the gym would back that up.
Lewis played very well, but couldn't finish the deal. Riley played like a man underneath. He took a couple of ill advised 3's, and he had a walk at a crucial moment, but other than that, he played an excellent game. The guards from Lewis played well, but were hampered by foul trouble all night long. There were so many phantom calls in the game, it's hard to tell just how many fouls any player suffered from, but I'm sure that it effected how Lewis played the game.
On Ashland's side of the ledger, the first half was a lesson in "how to get beat on the boards". Lewis got putback after putback, and they built a nice lead at the half. At the same time, Ashland's guards were struggling. Flashes of good play, but the shooting was hard to watch.
Ashland whittled away at the Lewis lead, and the last three minutes of regulation were pretty good basketball. Lewis had a chance to win it at the end, but really couldn't get a good look as time ran out.
In the OT, Delaney finally found the range (after taking a nasty spill), and the Tomcats snuck out with a win that they will take, but not be bragging about any time soon.
If Lewis plays like they did in the first half, they are going to be a serious problem for anyone on their schedule. Hampton (the Lewis Co. coach) does an excellent job of getting the absolute most from his kids.
Last note - just before the game, the seniors on Ashland's team handed the Lewis Co. coach a check, to be used to help cover the medical costs of the Terrence Smith, the Lewis County guard that was injured in the car wreck. Hampton got a little choked up, but it was one of those really good moments in sports, where the games take a back seat to real life. I think all of the teams in the 16th region are going to do the same thing.

If you were in that gym, you had to of gotten a little choked up, I know I did. This was a first class act by Ashland and I commend them for it...one because I'm from LC, and two because Smith is a close friend of mine.

Yeah, it would have changed the outcome completely, LEE CO would have won, there wouldn't have been a fight, there wouldn't have been a story on the news, and a mother with breast cancer wouldn't have had to attend the rest of her sons games by herself!!! So yeah if there had been neutral refs that called a fair game there would have been a totally different outcome!

Lee would not have won,please!!!! It wasn't the refs fault and sure wasn't the teams fault parents can't act like they have some sense over a high school basketball game.
12-04-2009, 10:14 PM
Both teams has to come over the obstacles of the game...the refs making bad calls is a part of the game...get over it and play harder
12-05-2009, 10:07 AM
Yeah,well when a player jumps for the ball gets his legs knocked out from under him and falls on the ground and the foul is called on him, F****** REDICULOUS! Obvious bias call!

The parents don't get mad until the refs make a bad call! And a call as bad as the one that was made in that game should have even made the Lewis fans mad if they have any respect for an individuals well being and integrity of the game! So yeah the refs did cause that, sorry but they did!

EVERY REF can and does make bad calls so what move on.If a parent can't control their temper over a bad call then they do not need to be there. Even more so when a police officer shows his badge. And dogging the team every game over this is rediculous.
We had a parent acted like a complete idiot over a call at Fleming Co. this past year. It is very embarrasing for the school and players.
