Final from the King of the Bluegrass Showcase at Fairdale.

Great game....tech for hanging on the rim shouldn't have been called. Impacted the game late drastically. Loose ball foul on henderson at the end also very questionable, but at least that was bang bang and in-action. Both teams real contenders

Khsaa website say Henderson won 83-80,which is correct?

Nevermind...they changed it

TC won

@kjpatton67: David Simmons dunk but called for technical for hanging on the rim even though there was clearly a player under him.

The technical also was the 5th foul for Simmons. Total game changer.

And then Washington fouled out shortly after which made things worse.

Terrible call! Big games from David Sloan and Brandon Berry. Berry played big inside and out while Sloan controlled the pace. He's an outstanding ball handler and couldn't be stopped. TC went down 10 when Sloan went to the bench. He comes back in 10-0 run. Simmons is a player who is relentless. Brady Norman also stepped up big for Henderson County. It was an exciting game to watch!

Some real bad calls went against Henderson County in this game and the T late for hanging on the rim was AWFUL!! Congrats to Taylor County for finding a way to win. Both teams are very good and should be at Rupp in March.

Any video?

I taped the entire game. Tc is very good team and did great job scouting hc. Referees were really bad. Don't take this as complaining because I want to understand. Why are referee's so bad this year? The guys that did this game either are clueless or they were trying to make sure Tc wins. I really want to understand these referee's! Really these guys missed a lot!

Odds are, the referees were not some of the higher rated refs in the region. Think about it, if you are the assigning secretrary, do you send your top rated refs to a game in your region between two teams from OUTSIDE the region. My guess is the best refs in this region were calling in region games and Taylor Co and Henderson Co got the leftovers. No other way to explain why two teams of this caliber were left with these clowns. Too bad.

Henderson losses this game because their 6'8 center didn't make the trip. That would have helped.
