This was a fantastic game to watch if you want to see a physical and tough nosed game, the refs started out in a laxed fashion and then after LCM cried enough started to over officiate Dayton. But, alas those fantastic Lady Broncos kicked in the door on the Lady Bears.

are you implying that they were being cry babys?

I wouldn't say cry babies ! I heard the Dayton fans crying just as much. However, this is supposed to be Basketball. If you want a football game then lets put some pads on and get after it. Its bad when you have 3 referees and two of the three make a different call on the same play several times during the game. But, regardless of how the game was called, Dayton won and they just plain beat LCM. No excuses. Ya'll took LCM out of their game and just plain out hustled them all game long. Ya'll have definitely improved from the 1st time we met. Good Luck with the rest of the season!

Consistency - or lack it - continues to plague LCM. 

LCM played a great, smart game in Beaumont to beat Ozen and then Dayton really took them out of anything they tried to do.  Dayton played well and shot well from the outside...this was not the same team that played earlier in the year at our gym in Little Cypress.  Hats off to the girls in Dayton for their obvious continued hard work.

The refs certainly were not the difference in the game, but I haven't seen many games this year that I thought were really officiated great. There were 3 refs officiating this game.  At one point in the 2nd half, LCM drives to the basket makes the layup and is fouled on the shot. The basket is waved off AND THEN the refs give her 2 shot because it was in the act of shooting!  Go figure. After the crowd went wild, the 3 refs got together and corrected it...but it took a while.

Hopefully for LCM it's GROWING PAINS and they will mature and get better for next year. I know Coach Ellerbee will keep working them until they are playing some good ball.

CC,

I think you're right about the "growing pains" of LCM's young team.  There is nothing wrong at all with growing pains if lessons are learned from them.  I know  Coach Ellerbee will continue to work these young ladies hard and think she's done a good job of putting some youngsters on the floor in an effort to build a nice future. 

With some hard work, LCM should be a team to keep an eye on in the future.
