PTSportsWriter Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 Look, the officiating had nothing to do with the outcome of that game. Humboldt has had to play through bad calls by the officials IN ALMOST EVERY GAME, sometimes it seems that we have to play two teams, the players and the refs, but we've stopped complaining bout it and so should yall and neways if Cosby was #1 in state caliber they could have won neways. Vikings have proved they are the BEST!!! GO VIKINGS ALL THE WAY TO THE GOLD!!!!!!!!!!! The officiating was bad, both ways. Allowed physical play on the inside, both ways. and allowing that benefited Humboldt more than it did Cosby. Although, I think allowing the foul count to get 7-0 in the first half, was a little ridiculous considering the physical play on both sides of the court. But I think if you go through and read my other posts - you'll not see a post of mine where I said the officials had anything to do with the outcome of the game. Humboldt was probably 6-12 points better than Cosby based on rebounding, second-chance points and speed/size (especially on the inside). Cosby didnt play its best game, didnt shoot well - while I thought Humboldt shot about as well as they may have all year (based on scouts) - and may have had a few kids sick or under the weather. Still, I dont think anyone in this field of 8 can beat Humboldt. That said, I'd like to see Lake County - since they beat Humboldt 3 times.

c03gt Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 I just wanted to say congratulations to the Cosby Eagles! They had a hard game yesterday and the officiating was TeRrIbLe. Cosby was not overrated. They are a great team and they should all be proud off themselves. They have alot of talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best team on the court yesterday won, and would have won on any court. No home court advantage will overcome a 20 point thrashing. End of story. Get over it.

dollar1906 Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 People were talking about it before the game. Talk about some sore losers.....Humbold Is the #1 team in the state follwed closely by U.C.....I don't see how they even won 34 games...ny bad they play the weakest schedule in the state....Again I say we didn't ask to be put in 1A they forced us to be, besides Humboldt is on a mission to discover gold, and are only two games away from it....as you guys heard it so often last night "Yeah THA VIKINGS IN THA HOUSE" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbigster Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 I do not know what game you are watching but I am there and the refs are just fine to me. Sorry the East is getting out-classed by the West. Your broadcast stinks too. The West is the Best. You're right about the broadcast..The announcers said if Humboldt or U.C. had not dropped down,Cosby would have beaten any Single A team..Well..Cosby just got hammered by Humboldt ..And it may have sounded good on the radio in their area..but he didn't say..Wow...Lake Co beat this team 3 times!

I'm not sure what broadcast you were listening to. We mentioned Humboldt dropped down from AA to A. We mentioned how they made state as a AA. But we never said that they should've been AA and Not A. If you listened, you would've also heard us point out that Humboldt lost 6 games. Three to Lake County, once to UC, once to Peabody and once to Crockett County. We also gave credit to D14, being a district that had 3 state caliber teams - but can only at least get 2 in. However, we did mention that Cosby scored 64 and that was enough pts to win a lot of ballgames and was probably enough to win at least 2 games on Wednesday. And that point total was third in Class A to Humboldt and Union City (who did play Hapless Cloudland) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not arguing that they aren't State champions..just not the #1 team in the State...The best team doesn't always win..But..I believe U.C. or Humboldt will win the State..U.C. has a cakewalk while at least Humboldt has to earn their way..

bed2i Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 Great win for humblodt in state but we dont take 2a teams and put them in 1a just so they could win a game in state just come play at the eagles nest and lets see if humboldt comes out with a win I do not want to hear you gripe about how if we would have played at "the infamous, overrated eagles' nest" that y'all would have pulled out a win. The best team won last night, plain and simple. We would have come into the "eagles' nest" and done the same thing. Just so you know, Humboldt plays better on the road than do at home; we only lost two true road games all season.... one to Union City who is still playing in the state tourney and the other to Lake Co. who is probably the most atheltic team in the entire state. End of discussion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankieD12 Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 to be the champion...in my opinion...is to play the best teams out there and win...so cosby played a good team, but couldn't pull out the win...so therefore i couldn't see yall winning this year...bigster, i think you've said that lake county beat us 3 times just a tad bit too much...i agree that lake county should be in the tournament but they aren't...i would really like to see a rematch between us and yall though...yall won by 2 i think it was at south fulton while we had toylon sitting on the bench hurt and then at our place yall shot 80% pretty much...but that doesn't matter anymore...ill be there at the game tomorrow though so if i see ya ill come say something to ya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
