crazy8s Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Final at Trimbe County. Shocker and heartbreaker! I hate to blame the officials but one very bad call cost South the game. Should not have been a charge on Jones- her 5th foul when the correct call puts her on the line to win the game. No one in the gym including Oldham County believes it was. Sas....sad...sad. A real shame. You may think I have sour grapes...you bet I do - it was that bad and I really feel for Jones and the entire South squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Athletics Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Congrats to OC. This just goes to show that anything can happen at tourney time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
True blue (and gold) Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 I might add that Jones had 32 points on the night, including 15/15 from the charity stripe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were fouls 1 through 4 on Jones legit...or do you thing they might have been paying a little closer attention to her. Yes, one foul is her 5th, but she had to commit 4 others to get to that point. I saw her play once this year and she's a heck of a ballplayer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO there were 2 other fouls that were questionable- even so, the last foul was so ridiculous. I could go on and on about the game- it makes me ill to think about what happened. There were a lot of things that happened through out the game by two of the three officials that have to make you wonder. It was the district championship game.

madman Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Oh well, maybe they will get another shot at them in the Regional. This loss will make SO's path tougher but "to be the best you have to beat the best". Good luck to both teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheapseats Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 How much time was left in the game when Jones fouled out? Did she sit much due to foul trouble? I can't imagine that she was out much with 32 pts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CincySportsFan Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 This loss will make SO's path tougher but "to be the best you have to beat the best". Good luck to both teams. Hate to see a game decided this way, and hopefully SO will rebound emotionally in time for next week. Could potentially set up a huge first round game against Simon Kenton or Shelby County. But, sooner or later, you'd most likely have to face one, or both, of them. Good luck to both teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
True blue (and gold) Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 I am not a fan of either team, but I didn't think the game was one sided....I did think that the last foul on Jones was bad....was suprised that they called it that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree on all points and it should make for an exciting regional tournament - Shelby vs South will be a great game on Tuesday. South has been knocked out of region the last two years by Shelby so you might as well start there - will it be three? Good luck to everyone at Region- should be some interesting games all around.
