Ensworth vs Knoxville Webb

[Sidetrain]

I'm a little shocked about this one. I figured Miss Johnson would go out on top with her team. Score looks like a great game.

Great win by Ensworth and one heck of an effort by both teams. Congrats to Coach Pack and his Tigers. They beat a team that no one thought would be challenged from day one. Hard to beat a team 3 times in one year and Webb could not do it.

Sounds like a Webb choke, or over confident. Having seen both teams, this should have been a Webb victory. That is why they play the game, though.

anyone know the details of the play with about 7 seconds left?

Great Job Ladies!!! Must have been one heck of a game. Ensworth has a GREAT coach and glad to see Anna Bowers finish her career on top!

I didn't see this game but it's my guess that Webb's coach cost them this game. With the talent this team has at post and point they should have been in the championship game again.

I was at the game and it was unfortunate that an officials call played such a pivotal role in the decision. Webb, after trailing most of the game, had tied the game and on the inbounds pass, the Ensworth player received the pass, turned and plowed over the Webb defender who had moved herself right in behind her. The official called a blocking foul, sending Ensworth to the line for the winning free throws. Some of us wondered if the basis for the call was that the defender didn't give the player with the ball room to turn. However several officials seated next to me said it was clearly a charge, that once the player has control of the ball the defender doesn't have to give them any room, and if the defender is set and the offensive player plows them over then that is a charge. One can question the wisdom of the Webb player taking the chance on that play when the game is tied, and putting the decision in the hands of the official, but it appeared the ref blew the call. Tough loss for Webb but hats off to Ensworth for coming back from a large deficit against Briarcrest and defeating Webb who had beated them handily just a week earlier for the region title

i had heard she caught the ball, turned up court, saw the defender, walked while trying to stop, plowed over the defender, made both free throws, lived happily ever after. oops.

The replay on channel 2 locally here showed that the defender's right foot was not set. It was not by much but it was indeed not set. I watched it several times.

I was at the game. My first impression was that the right call was, Block. After watching the way this game was called I was sure it would be called, Charge. Heck, after watching this game I'm not even sure what a walk is any more. When a whistle sounded the players on both teams didn't know what was going to be called or who the referee was going to point at. The only thing I can say is, I think the game was called in good faith.
