Shelby by about 4 on "Senior Night" ! 'Birds gave a valiant effort and were close or leading through much of the game. Lost control early in the 4th quarter, fought back to make it close at the end. I predict Birds win the

36th over NCC !

Why would this have been Senior Night for the Birds? They play at home again Friday.

The only thing different from this draw and every 36th district draw in the past was the brackets were wrong. They could have played the tournament the way it was BUT one school complained about the brackets and the number of pills used. You are supposed to use 8 pills while they used only 5, one for each team. This is the same number of pills every other school in the district used when hosting the district tournament. This compalint was coming from ONE school who wanted to get a better draw. They didn't.

 

 

Sorry, but you have a couple facts wrong. Two schools complained, one just didn't do it publicly. Second, when the offer was made to "fix" the draw in the correct manner, yet another school threw a fit because they would have had a tougher draw. How convenient that you leave that portion of the meeting out entirely. Throw stones all you want, right is right and wrong is wrong. The entire process is laid out on the KHSAA website so that there can be NO questions. Because somebody chose not to do the job correctly is no reason to fault anyone else.

It does benefit the small schools if they win during the regular season. Example: Sayre beat Henry Clay this year so they EARNED the 3rd seed in the district tournament - they get to play Bryan Station instead of Scott County

 

Maybe there should be a policy where big schools can only play left handed - maybe the small schools should be able to play with a 6th player.... if we're trying to make it all even - every opportunity for the underdog - no child/small school left behind...

 

Give me a break.

 

 

Spoken like a true large county school fan.

Re-draw has been completed. Now Highlands plays Dayton, Newport plays NCC, and that winner gets Bellevue. The whole problem apparently stems from a disorganized draw whereby the individual in charge tried to "fly by the seat of his pants" instead of take the time to do it right......and before the bashing begins, be certain the one in charge was NOT THE COACHING STAFF, GIRLS OR BOYS!!!!!!!

 

That's what happens when you have an AD who only wants to work on a part-time basis. From what I hear from my sources in Dayton, he is the one at fault. Too bad! Dayton is really trying to make this good tournament. :mad:

You are right on. The good people at Dayton are working very hard on this tournament. I don't believe the person responsible intended to make the mistake but I also believe that person showed poor judgement by not owning up and just admitting the error and making the necessary correction without taking it personally. Coach Dilts and his staff are great folks and should be commended for their efforts all year long.

I live in G-town now, but grew up in the "small school" - played ball at the "small school". My opinion was the same then as it is now.

I stand corrected.

NO one complained about the draw at the time. It was only after the draw the teams complained. If they had a beef about the way the draw was going to be run they should have voiced them when they saw the brackets BEFORE the draw was actually started.

Again, I'm sorry but I'd like to correct that observation. The objection WAS raised DURING the actual process and was done subtly in an attempt not to embarrass or belittle the person running the draw. The hint was ignored at the time.

IF it was raised during the process it should have been done in front of everyone. IF something is not being done right, STAND UP and voice your conerns. They are all educators, I'm sure they could have pointed out the mistake without embarrassing them. I know the person that I spoke too who was at the draw told me nothing was said to the group. I wonder if they would have taken it to the commish if they would have gotten a favorable draw??

Clearly you're all about bashing someone and have your own agenda. I know what happened and why and the reasoning you infer had very little, if anything, to do with it. Sure, everyone wants a favorable draw, which is exactly why when the "easy fix" didn't favor two other schools it was immediately scratched. It appears no matter what explanation you get you're bent on crucifying ONE school (To quote your previous inaccurate statement). It worked out, the draw still has the favorites in opposite pools and all is well for them.
