Anyone have directions to their gym?

:oops: Sorry, didn't mean to post names, wasn't thinking. Following these teams and their accomplishments makes you think of them on a first name basis. What I should have said was a starting post will not be playing. Good luck, Lady Stangs!

Hey, just read on the WOS site that a player won't be playing this Friday in the playoff game (due to grades, glad she's not injured). Big blow for them, she is an outstanding player and has taken a lot of the pressure off the Brittneys. However, WOS is loaded with talent and I know someone will step up and get the job done for the Lady Stangs. They have way too many weapons for this to slow them down. Good luck, ladies! Put'em away! Go Orange County!

Sportslover is obviously a HJ fan who greatly appreciated the fine service they received from the refs. Once again, the disparity in the amount of fouls shows how one-sided this game was called. There is no way OF fouled three times more. HJ was just as aggressive, but was not called for it, that is my point. Our district is a really tough, aggressive district, but everyone seems to think it is only OF who fouls. Call it evenly, that's all we want. By the way, OF fans were pretty laid back last night, HJ was the really loud ones. Rightly so, it was your gym, we expected that. All that being said, HJ definitely deserves to be in the playoffs, they have played consistently.

The refs were very inept. If you got to the game early and saw the JV game, that was a big clue how the varsity game would go. The refs couldn't even keep up with the JV. One called OF for out of bounds when he was 15-20 ft BEHIND the girls, and OF was clearly inbounds. They also let the HJ coach stand in the court DURING PLAY. At one point she was standing in between an OF player and the girl she was guarding. The refs never told her to get off the court. During the varsity game, they called back court on OF on an inbound pass. The foul calling came fast and early. It's pretty bad when you are sitting starters out in the first quarter for foul trouble. I guess that's one way to make sure OF loses, take out the starters. We seemed to have two starters on the bench all through the game. The only way to beat that type of uneven play calling is to make every shot that is taken. Unfortunately, OF is still in somewhat of a scoring slump. Each time they would begin to put a run together, the refs would start calling fouls. They also stopped the game to have a "talk" with Paige and the girl who was guarding her. Come on! The girl was laying across her back, and Paige was "talked" to. Sure enough, PAIGE was called for a foul because she apparently got tired of wearing the guard over her back and shoulders like a shawl and pushed back on her. Why can other teams be aggressive and OF can't? Hopefully, our girls can get their shooting game going so the refs can't decide the game.
