Not taking away from South Greene, but this game was absolutely the worst officiated game that I have seen in a long while. Both teams played hard nose defense, but all the calls went to South Greene. South Greene was in the double bonus at the beginning of the second quarter and went on to shoot 23 free throws in the first half to only 2 free throws for Happy Valley in the first half. The second half was much of the same story. South Greene shot 20 free throws to 7 free throws for Happy Valley and most of those free throws for HV finally came in the final three minutes of the game. It is sad to see the officials have such an impact on the outcome of the game. The Happy Valley girls really showed a lot of courage and intensity throughout the game and were led by an awesome effort by Kourtney Goulds who had 19 pts and played a career game on offense and defense. Happy Valley outscored South Greene in the second half, but could not overcome the first half deficit and free throw discrepancies. The HV seniors; Byrd, Goulds, Whaley; will be greatly missed, but the Lady Warriors show promise next year with the return of three starters, Powell, Dugger, and Williams. Good luck to Unicoi and Elizabethton. Take the region home again to District 1.
