Both teams played very well. Number 12 for ND has to be one of the best players in the region. Does anybody know what year she's in? Also the best officiated game that I have seen in two years. ND will definitely be a contender.

Mostly from the free throw line???

Jynea is an excellent example of a scholar athlete. She gets it done in the classroom and on the court

She played well! Good future player for Ryle.

This game looked sloppy because the ref were to quick to blow the Whistle for fouls and held balls. It is hard to play defense if the refs won't let you play. I saw bad calls on both sides of the ball but more so on Holmes' side. It seems every time I go to a Holmes girls BB game they are playing against the refs. There was a charge called on Harris late in the game that wasn't close to a charge. Why does these type of calls continue to happen?

Refing was horrible again tonight. I hope the HC Holmes game gets a different group tomorrow. There were at least 50 fouls called, it really takes away from the game. They should call the obvious fouls and let the girls play. There was a point in the game were holmes was afraid to play defense. That being said, the girls made the adjustment and won the game. Hats off to # 50, they would not have won the game without her contribution, they will need her to get past HC, and in the state tournament if they make it. Coach Perkins needs to stop getting the techs. Also, can somebody explain to me why he, (coach Perkins), takes his players off the lanes when they are shooting free throws. This makes no sense to me.

Holmes didn't have Tubbs in the first game, and if she plays like she did against Ryle, Holmes should have the advantage height wise. NCC is a very gritty, quick team , but are small and will have trouble against Engelman, Mo and Tubss inside.

Holmes again had a very poor shooting night and numerous unforced turnovers. They would have lost to whatever team they played. Tonight it happen to be HC for the second time. Perkins continues to fell to prepare his team for HC. He was too involved with arguing with the refs and he didn't settle his team down. Holmes again seemed very apprehensive when playing HC. They will need to control their apprehension if they want to have success against HC. Their success will depend on If they play the way they are capable of playing offensively. The defense was not bad tonight and Stovall always brings her A game on defense.

Ryle has a very good team. In my opinion they gave Holmes one of, if not their toughest, game.

Scott by five!

Holmes played a decent game on offense, but their defense was top notch as usual!

Nn Not taking anything away from CCHS girls, the press was stopped due to the number of fouls that were being called, most phantom. The stall was for the same reason. Anytime Holmes played defense they were called for a foul. That is the difference in the foul totals between the first and second half. Perkins could not risk his players fouling out. When you are getting homered to this degree sometimes a stall is the best tactic to take the refs out the game, and it worked.

Oh, Engelman had a nice game for Holmes!

I am not complaining about just fouls being called or not called. There was a lot more going on in this game besides foul totals, in terms of poor refing. If you don't like what I am saying you are free to not read it.
