Crying about the calls won't do any good at this point (never really does) and they didn't cause MC to blow the lead in the last 4 minutes, but they certainly played a role in allowing Augusta to stay close in the game. And they completely took D. Williams out of the offense for Mason County. I'll give Augusta credit for knowing how to bump without using their hands (which must not be a foul in the ref's eyes because it was never called once).

 

I don't know what region the officials will be from for the 10th region tournament, but as long as they call it both ways I'll be okay with it.

The refs didn't blow a double digit lead.

Augusta's recent success over Mason County is such a great story.

The refs don't blow a double digit lead.

 

Nope...But they can help keep it to what it was instead of a 20 pt lead. And FWIW #13 carry's the ball every time he dribbles. He turns his hand over and gets under the ball...especially when he changes directions. That's a CARRY. Not once was it called.

But, But, if we had been allowed to have a 16 point lead with 4:40 to go instead of 13 we would have won.....

Buddy Biggs should have told them to play keep away when they were up that. Mason County was hitting free throws

Last night's game was not unlike many Augusta games this season. The Panthers do not foul much, plain and simple. They play smart, don't reach, block out, and get fouls called. They sometimes give up baskets to avoid fouling, which drives me crazy, but they are 22-6. Who am I to argue with how they do things? And if you think 10 fouls last night was bad try our road game at GRC. Three fouls for the game. Once again, Augusta just doesn't foul.

Is there a YouTube link to the Evan Dennison video or any of the videos of the last seconds of the game? Can't find it on YouTube

What else are you Mason county people going to whine about! No wonder everyone in the state cheers against you! You really think the refs kept mason from gaining a 20 point lead? Give me a break! Maybe if their program would focus more on athletics rather than smoking dope and thieving they might get somewhere!!

 

I must also add another point. Mason's fan section, players as well as coaching staff are very unsportsmanlike. It's a little pathetic when you have an assistant coach saying derogatory things to opposing players!!

 

Augusta is a class act, hard working bunch of boys who have worked their tails off to get where they are.

 

People still downplay Augusta's success. Well let me tell you, 3 out of 4 year District Champions isn't a fluke. Doesn't matter where they play, who they play or who is coaching them they don't know how to quit. They will push and claw back for as long as they can.

And let's continue the conversation about fouls for a moment. There most certainly is a pattern associated with the fouls or lack thereof from Augusta.......they don't play a rough game. It doesn't matter who they play they try very hard to keep fouls down.

 

Mason on the other hand has always had a rough playing style. Unfortunately for them everyone knows it. I would about guarantee the fouls called on both teams last night are close in line to every game they've played this year when you get to looking at stats.

 

So to the people who are bitter and choose to talk out of their behind lets leave it at this - Augusta played a harder, smarter game last night.

 

Period.

I have to ask, did you stand last night for fear of the bleachers falling in. Lol

Nah, I took my chances! Lol

I'll have to give it to Bracken, they did a fantastic job at managing last nights crowd compared to years past. Everything went fine.

If it is, I'm not sure it's been called in 28 games.

I love how when Mason County gets beat people come out of the woodwork to bash them.. It's quite comical, but when you've had as much success as the Royals have had over the past 15 years I guess you get "haters" :idunno:
