Henry Clay 10 7 15 12 44

 

Franklin Co. 9 8 8 18 43

 

11th Region at Eastern KY University

 

Henry Clay (16-16) -- Stewart 10, Nichols 7, Johnson 9, Kiesling 8, Kimball 10.

Franklin Co. (20-8) -- Samples 10, Hall 27, Burton 3, Meyer 3, Jennels 0.

Heard it was a controversial finish. Anyone have a replay?

Looks like Vance Hall almost singlehandedly beat the Blue Devils. 27 of the FC 43.

 

Where is he going to be playing next year?

You can watch the refs blow it with this link. Embarassing! If this had been a college game, the refs would be banned from the rest of the postseason.

Everyone in the gym knew the last shot by McKee from FC was good. Sort of a different feeling leaving a game having lost on the scoreboard but having this weird satisfaction knowing without a doubt that the call was blown at the end. With the light on the backboard it was clearly evident live as well as on the replay that the shot should have counted. I saw this happen once before to I think Hoptown at Rupp a few years ago.

 

All I can say is Pathetically Unbelievable!!!

If it had been a college game the refs would have confired and watched replay and got it right! Sure is a good thing we had the BBA officials on the game, who "are the best in the state" or FC might have lost this game... oh wait, they did lose the game thanks to that almost impossible-to-blow call. I am so, so, so tired of hearing that bologna around the 10th and 11th regions. The ref that couldn't even get that obvious call right tonight, is one of the higher rated officials in the Association (or so I am told). Sad for the Flyers, kids played their guts out.

Franklin County was absolutely robbed in this game, the buzzer clearly went off after the shot went through. Check out this website and fast forward to the end, http://www.ckysports.com/. I hate it for these kids who have worked so hard especially the seniors who have put four years of their time into this program. I love all of you all and thanks for the memories. Vance you'll go down as one of the best in FC history.

Who were the officials that worked the game?

Are the officials from the 11th Region? I thought when it came to region tourneys that the refs were from different regions?

 

Regardless, there's no way that call should have been blown. The refs had the aid of the red light on EKU's backboard, and didn't use it. Watched the game cast on CKYsports.com, and it was clearly good. Holy cow.

Hopkinsville-Daviess County in 2003, I think ... Hoptown benefitted from the call.

Kevin Walters made the call. Bo Queen and Dustin Music were the other crew members.

That blown call was made by a BBA official as well!

Franklin County home early again this year. What a shame it came down to one BAD call.

I would agree it is a shame that the game was decided at the end on a blown call. I can't believe that they missed this one. I know a blind man at the liquor store that would have got this right.

 

But on the other hand FCHS should have never been in the position to allow the officials to make this mistake. Felt like they played flat until the 2:32 mark in the 3rd quarter, then they picked it up. Played their hearts out to come back to have a chance to win. Point I trying to make is, everyone remembers the last play, but what about those plays in the first half FCHS should have made.

 

 

Hats off to the seniors they played hard and should be playing on Saturday. It is a shame the call was blown.

Can't disagree with the bold, but they did get in that position, came back and won the game. The thing is this call was not a

"phantom foul call", not a charge/block call, it was not a "judgement call" that could have gone either way. The technology was in place to help make sure the buzzer shot gets called right. It was blown.

 

We will see ifthe KHSAA is a

performanced based organization. If the ref that made the call, refs games at the Sweet 16, then they are not. It will prove that the KHSAA is not about accountability, they are a "good ole boy organization".
