Sorry, Captain Guru, but the mercy rule is 35 points

AA # 10 Cannon Co played White Co twice earlier this season and only lost by 10 and 6 points. I think Cannon could've won one of those if it wasn't for foul trouble

Cannon Co is probably one of the best AA teams in the midstate. They had a solid team last year but fell short in the region against a good York team. They return 3 starters and should win their district

York and Upperman both advance to the state. 8AA again proving it's one of the strongest districts in the state.

There a few who are trying to make the argument that somehow the refs were purposely favoring York. I know several refs and trust me, they could care less who wins or loses. When you start blaming refs, then you're excusing bad play. What were the shooting percentages for both teams? Sounds like york deserves credit for beating a good team

I didn't go to the game last night, but I think poor officiating is something that teams have to deal with. Unfortunately, it's just part of the game, like bad turnovers or bad a shooting night. I would argue that Upperman is in a better position than most teams to withstand foul trouble. They have more depth than any other team in 8AA. Did anyone foul out? Also, UHS hasn't been in very many close games this year which may have hurt them down the stretch

Cannon should've won their game. Foul trouble and some key missed free throws at the end cost them

York is about two good bench players away from competing with Upperman.

The final and consolation games are set. No surprises really. Upperman vs York Cannon vs Watertown Thoughts?

Two good games last night. DC took advantage of a weakness in CC's zone by continuously getting the ball to the high post. That pass was there all night, CC didn't defend it at all. Smith played a heck of a game and deserved to win but missed free throws plagued them at the end

DC will struggle against the length of the Cannon guards. Davenport can shoot and Bush can get to the rim as well as anyone. Jones and Cook will have to play well and stay out of foul trouble if DC is going to win

I wasn't at the game, how did Dekalb win so convincingly? I feel like most of us had written off Dekalb

I still disagree with Iceman. CC, Watertown and LA all have pretty good teams. It's just that York and especially Upperman have exceptionally good teams this season. Now if you say Smith and Dekalb are weak, then I will agree.

If CC, Watertown and LA are weak, then Dekalb must be downright awful.
