I would not say this is that big of an upset they just beat them 2 weeks ago.

Ryle made Free throws down the stretch to seal the win and Conner couldn't knock down some shots at the end. The foul desparity may be due to the fact Ryle took the ball to the rim and Conner settled for jump shots. The refs did a good job in this one.

Have you seen both or eithier of these teams play? I have seen them both play...I would be very surprised if Ryle was within 10.

I am sure at Ludlow that was the case. Not sure anyone is counting chickens, face it Conner is one of the better teams in the region. Is it going to take a lot for them to win it? you bet!

I have been following them all season as well... they have a chance, they play as a team! When they are on from outside it is very hard to beat them.

Excellent unbiased post. I saw the ref talking to #35 but could not hear what was said from the stands and if that is what he said he should be diciplined. There are much better ways to handle that situation. Now I see where Roman's comments about the refs making it about themselves comes into play. What makes it the refs game? I certainly wasn't there to watch them. As for your foul anlysis you are correct that ref that did blow the whistle was a bit out of position.

Why would I know this answer?

???

:lol: :isurrender:

I was!

I do want to thank you for pointing it out.

I made a mistake and carried it thru the entire day, I admit I mispelled Conner several times today, I am sorry. I find it fascinating that when your point is discredited you resort to spelling errors. Has no bearing on who I was there to support. Who is playing games? Seems as if you are!

According to KHSAA site 35 is Drew Barker. This was the first boys game I have watched of theirs, been watching and following the girls. Thought I would support the boys as well since it was a boy/girl double header. And your highlighted section on the class act was speaking of that incident only.

#24 for SH impressed me on a drive to the basket in the first half, didn't do much in the second but also sat out a lot.

Seriously? Did we watch the same game? Believe me I think officials could do a better job and am usually quick to critic them, but I saw nothing to lead me to say they were manipulating this game.

I was at the game to support Connor (for the record) the first bold point from my vantage point which was on that end of the court from right behind the St. Henry bench it was clearly a foul. The Connor player got no part of the ball at all attempting to block the shot and got all forearm. IMO it had to be called as the defense clearly gained an advantage. Unfortunate, way to end the game and St. Henry actually made a FT which they had been missing all night. Second bold point, did you hear this? the only time I recall refs addressing the players was once during a small chippy incident in the second half under the St. Henry goal and right at the end when #35 for Connor clearly tried to intimidate the FT shooter after the TO preceeding the first made shot. Not sure what he said as he bumped the shooter but the ref under the basket did say something to him and it didn't look like profanity just a talking to about sportsmanship I presume. IMO not a class act on #35 for Connor I know frustration probably took over for this young man. Do I think the refs missed a few calls absolutely! Do I think Connor was much more aggressive on D than St. Henry, yes! More aggressive D leads to more fouls. Furthemore, the game was sloppy on both ends lots of turnovers and missed layups/put backs.

If you think so but not true by the looks of it Owen and NCC brought the same amount yesterday.

I meant Owen only had one loss as well.

That was their only loss. NCC only had one loss as well it went to a points system for a tie breaker.

Conner and NCC

My " you can sign up" statment was in response to the one above. A broad statement like the one above deserves a response like that!

Well said!!!!!

You could sign up!

Ahhhh... Now i understand... Dark had me confused, not that it takes much.
