Going by the sound of the horn in the video that shot should have counted. What a tough way to lose!!

 

I agree with you. If there was a problem with the clock keeper, then that's a different issue, but the ball obviously was released in time and should have counted.

Wow. What a way to lose...

 

 

Reminds me of the Beechwood/Murray football championship game some years back. Just like in Murray, I'm sure the fans in Spartanburg won't soon forget this one.

 

I was thinking the same thing especially when I read that the coach of the team that ultimately lost slammed the 2nd place trophy on the table.

Upon review, Lowe thinks officials erred on final call

 

The officials, who have more than 45 years of combined officiating experience, were one of the best crews in the state, said Bruce Hulion, director of officials for the high school league.

 

He said they were the No. 1-, No. 2- and No. 9-ranked officials in the state.

I don't know if the shot should have counted or not, but it sure to a lot of guts by the officials to wave it off.
