Final.

Ladies and gentlemen....Wayne County is in the building.

Isaiah Johnson missed a jumper at the buzzer after a bizarre offensive foul on Peyton Woods with 2 seconds left gave Scott Co the ball. Blevins had the ball and was running out the clock, but Woods was called form blocking foul as he tried to prevent a defender from getting to him.

 

Stearns played well for Wayne in the first half and Blevins got hot in the second, both finishing with 20+. I think I saw Woods only hit 1-13 from 3.

 

Johnson had 25 and 15 for Scott Co.

12th Region is going to be something!

I cannot wait. It's going to be an excellent tournament.

Scott County won the first meeting 2 weeks a go by 2 points,,,who really is the best team,,look pretty equal to me......

First game played at Scott County with 11th Region officials. Scott wins by 2.

 

Second game played at Lafayette with 11th Region officials (semi-neutral conditions). Wayne wins by 1.

 

Draw your own conclusions.

They are two evenly matched teams. I was at both games and didn't think the officiating was poor in either case.

Agreed,,I saw both also....

Gee, I don't see where I said anything about the officiating being "poor".

 

My insinuation is that: (1) home teams (which Scott County was in the first game they played) typically do better as any point spread will prove out; and (2) teams playing within their home region vs. out-of-region teams will generally receive the benefit of the doubt on some calls (and vice versa).

 

My saying this doesn't infer that any region's officials are homers (although some certainly are), rather that they're human, PLUS the style of play allowed in one region is often different than what you see in another.

 

Bring Scott County down to Lincoln County to play Wayne County where we'll have 12th Region officials (and the game will be called as it is usually played in the 12th Region) and let's see how that goes. Okay bring on the smart-aleck remarks now.

The homerism I think is way overblown by most fans. No doubt there is some but blaming the officials is a much easier thing to do than admit the other team was better that night.

 

I agree about the style of play and such. That's why Wayne shot 40+ free throws vs Dunbar down at Southwestern. Dunbar's physical play was called for more fouls from 12th region refs than they are used to in the 11th.

 

I only mentioned the officiating because you insinuated it by mentioning where the officials were from. Also, from being at all of those games the Wayne Co fans are...I'll say passionate and have no problem voicing that to the officials.

1. Nothing I said in any way placed "blame" on the officials, yet you continued to make an issue of it. I don't think anyone who knows the game would disagree with anything I said.

2. Depending on the opponent and WC's style of play a lot fouls may be called. As I said after the Dunbar game, the coach was saying very little regarding the fouls when Dunbar was up for all of the first half and into the third quarter. Only after WC made it into a game and the fouls mattered did he (and the Dunbar fans) complain. FYI, the single biggest problem Dunbar had in fouling was they couldn't keep both hands off of whomever they were guarding.

3. WC's fans are loud & proud. In fact we outnumber our opponent's crowds often when we go on the road much to their distaste. At least we continue to support our team. It seems as most gyms are nowhere near as full as they used to be.

 

The "physicality" of a game differs in the viewers' eyes. Bodying up is one thing while hacking across the arms and over the back is another, but I'm not concerned about that because WC has played four games with 6th/7th Region officiating, two with 11th Region officiating, two with 14th Region officiating and one with Indiana officiating.

I didn't but clearly you're not interested in an actual discussion. Good day.

I have found out one thing from watching the 12th Region. They have outside shooters who can smoke the 3's.
