Sorry Bolivar won't be there this year to make it an all 14-AA affair...again.

This game could have been different. SS came out on fire and couldn't miss. Bolivar couldn't hit a bucket. Bolivar fought back, but when Polk went out with the knee injury and McKinnie couldn't come back in because of his injury, we couldn't get it going. We still had a shot to win it, but couldn't do it this time. Bolivar always reloads. We will be back strong next year.

Stretch run is going to be interesting. Bolivar lost by 3. If both teams win out, how do they decide who gets #1 in District for tournament seeding?

Northside, GA won in OT. Bolivar was down by 1 with 43 secs or so to go. They had to foul and Northside hit their FTs. I think the final was 79-72 or something along those lines. Desmond Robertson did not play for Bolivar.

Tough loss for Bolivar. They were down but never out. Hopefully we'll still make it to the Boro. I'd like to see the gold ball stay in 14AA.

Commercial Appeal story

82-75 Bolivar wins.

big win for them tonight. Great crowd for Homecoming. The Tigers have to believe in themselves now. They fought hard and didn't give up even when the outcome looked bleak. We should be able to ride this momentum shift and get back into the picture as a contender in the district. Way to go Tigers.

I thought he was a senior this whole time. Crap.

The seniors worked four long years to get this. They earned it.

Great job Bolivar. I've never seen so many charges called in my life. Bolivar had a fine shooting performance and a pretty solid day from the FT line. Congrats Tigers!

About the Bolivar Marshall Co. game today, the refs didn't seem in control. There were several times when things got scrappy but the refs didn't really seem to take an active hand in controlling it. Best refs I've seen were for Bolivar's substate vs Trezvant

Watching Bolivar play today and missing something like 18 three pointers yet still finding the way to win further reinforces my belief in the Tigers. Bolivar in a close one, i'll say by 2

This is why they need to seed the teams rather than the draw. Bolivar in a close game.

Bolivar wins 50-38 Refs were in complete control of this game. I have not seen a crew as solid as this in a long time. There were a few questionable calls, but overall I think the game was called fairly. Congrats Tigers. See you in the Boro.

yeah, i can understand that. but the refs were missing things right in front of their eyes and it seemed to just be making some calls up.

The headline should read "Despite refs best effort, Bolivar wins." I don't want to take anything away from Liberty. They played well as always. The refs were equally bad on both sides of the ball. The entire gym knew what a walk looked like EXCEPT the three guys in stripes. No calls on several occasions. It was clear the refs wanted to be the stars of the show, not the players on the court. Congrats Bolivar.

I agree Btown. Fulton had trouble with our press. If BTW is better than us at pressing, it could cause a lot of problems for Fulton.

We didn't rebound near what we should have. Fulton was outjumping us and snatching the rebounds. It was a great game, I just hate the way it ended. Thanks Bolivar for another exciting season!

Ok, this nonsense has to stop. ".........." is neither an acceptable substitution for a plain period nor how you use an ellipse. Please use periods...for the children.

It's not like it mattered, we couldn't hit a free throw to save our life for awhile. A lot of fouls on LA came from them trying to keep Murphy from going upcourt and thus drawing the blocking call. Still, that foul disparity is still better than what Bolivar had last year against Howard. It was something like 20-4 or some ridiculous number.

Congrats to Bolivar. Great game. Even though Dunn had a poor game outside the arc, he still impressed me. He is a quality player.

I don't think I was trying to use the "We have poor schedule strength" excuse or disguise anything. I was stating that teams like Liberty, Jackson Northside (1 point loss on a last second shot), and a few others are offset by teams that win a few or no games at all. We don't play the Sisters of the Poor every game. Also, I don't believe it takes into account the 4 point loss to the, if i heard correctly, 3-time Alabama champ during a tournament. I might be wrong on that schools record, but from what I understand they are a fantastic team. In addition to that, if you take into account my posting on HS athletic rankings, you'd see where SoS still doesn't really matter, but while we are talking it, I'll use it. I was being somewhat facetious about LA being worn down. My lack of smiley usage probably failed to drive that across though. Both teams have played top talent, no doubt. At this point, SoS, records, and ranking mean nothing. It's going to be about who plays the best ball and plays under control.

Some of the stronger teams we play are offset by the weakness of others. No doubt that LA played a tough schedule, but it's not like Bolivar is playing against weak competition all year. Maybe LA is worn down from a tough season. Who knows? Also, I believe most level-headed fans don't put much faith into rankings, especially at the high school level. I'd almost wager Mr. Butts is a LA fan trying to stir up the fan base. Good tactic.
