Final, I think, from Williamstown. Refs still may be deliberating.

 

Polar Bears got solid contributions from Engnes and Tanner Fisher.

 

Demons, sans Stanley, got big statistical nights from Jon Jump and Chris Parsons. Fernandez was great in Stanley's absence.

Sounds like W-town made a shot and Bracken didn't inbound just let the clock run out. Assuming there was less than 5 sec left after said made basket.

 

Confusion on as if the game clock was suppose to stop on made basket. Well in HS the answer is no.

The confunsion was whether they should have called a delay of game on Jump, who grabbed the ball out of the net, which would have stopped the clock.

Thanks for clearing that up. I wasn't there just going by videos on Twitter.

Anytime you get a win in Williamstown it's a good win!

May be a different game with Stanley, but nonetheless a solid win for Coach Hinson's Bears!

Here's Austin Crawford's first shot that was called off: Twitter

 

At the end of the 2nd OT here's what happened. A Williamstown player made a 3 to make it 89-87. The clock was at 7.2 when the shot was made. The ball rolled in the floor and a Williamstown player picked it up. He then held the ball in front of a Bracken County player out of bounds. The Bracken player did not touch it. The Williamstown player then put the ball on the ground and then Bracken player picked it up as the clock hit 0.

 

The Bracken players quickly shook hands and were hurried into the locker room. The refs deliberated.

The Williamstown players stayed on the floor while the crowd chanted forfeit and Bracken fans yelled the game was over. The refs talked for about 5 minutes and it was then decided the game was over. The Polar Bears where escorted out the back door by a police officer.8

The delay of game would have been called on Williamstown and probably a technical foul with it.

Think there'd have to have been a warning first, but I'm not liscensed to make that call.

A still of Crawford's attempt at the end of regulation:

 

Looks like the ball is still in his hands with 0.0 on the clock to me ?

@Clyde need your expert opinion on post #6

Looks like the ball is still in his hands with 0.0 on the clock to me ?

 

Hence the pair of overtime periods.

 

We give officials grief, but they get it right more often than not. And without a replay monitor.

I'll try to get a clearer video/picture. But from that angle the call appeared to be correct. A little blurry but correct I think.

I was more shocked at the fact Williamstowns coach was arguing with a Bracken County fan in the middle of the game.

 

Also Bracken County had a wide open layup on the free throw line. But a ref on the other end of the court called time for a Bracken County player to tie his shoe who was on the opposite free throw line.

It doesn't get much worse than 8th region officiating.
