Final from the 9th

Bolden had 18. 14 in the 2nd half.

 

Hit the 3 that won the game with 2.8 left.

Thanks for the updates. Should be a barn burner tomorrow night!!

That was a fun game. Congrats to the Bulldogs on a big win.

Big Lou had 13.

 

McNeil had 10. Not sure if he scored in the 2nd half though.

 

Collins with 13.

What time is the game tomorrow?

Collins with a monster three late in regulation, Bolden a huge three late in OT. Love those two kids....onions.

 

Congrats to Cooper on a great game and an outstanding season.

 

Holmes, see you tomorrow night at the Bank of Kentucky.

What time is the game tomorrow?

 

6 bells

Sounds like a great game.

The thing that impressed me the most was the DEFENSE of Cooper :notworthy:, as well as, the fact that they take their time on offense and don't rush their shots.

 

AJ Collins with a "bigtime" trey to tie it up with under a minute to go in regulation.

 

Bolden was "money" at the end.

 

If only Cooper could have pulled down that rebound on the Holmes miss with :12.5 to go in OT and up two, instead of the tie-up and Holmes ball we may have had a different outcome.

 

Nonetheless, Congrats to Cooper on a very fine season and good luck to the Bulldogs tomorrow night.

Exciting game and the kids certainly left it all on the floor. Last 6 minutes of regulation and OT you are going to get ref bashing. Hate that it will happen but refs kind of dominated the game at the end of regulation. I think this area just is having a hard time adjusting to the 16th regions refs. Charges outnumber blocking calls on drives to the basket about 4 to 1 in the games so far in the region. But still congrats to Cooper for hanging in there with only 3 options on offense. Great game plan. Holmes gutted one out battling thru some bumps and bruises and hung tough at the end.

But I would agree on the charge calls, there were quite a few Academy Award winning performances in this one.

You don't even have to sell it to these guys. You just have to be in the area and its a charge. It might be more than 4 to 1. I remember 1 block today and maybe 6 charges. But I don't want to bash on the refs other than to say I think the players are having a hard time adjusting their games to the calls. All year long you play one way and now you have to adjust.

I want to make sure I'm following, Frank. Are you saying they were bad charge calls?

Yes. Just about every drive is a charge despite the level of contact and the position of the defender. Most of the times a shot is not even attempted by the offensive player. In the 9th region that is often a no call. With these refs any contact between the offense player and a defensive player is called a charge. It can be 12 feet from the basket or 2 feet from the basket. I've seen more charges in 6 games than probably 15 9th region games in the regular season.
