Cannon VS Upperman Part 2

[fanbb]

Good game. Missed free throws cost Upperman but the referees definately played a vital role in this game. Cannon has some shooters.

I am not real sure but I think Cannon County had the same referees.

CC had no technicals and their coach was out of the box yelling the whole first half and several players questioned calls. But bottom line is if Upperman hits free throws it is a different outcome.

No matter what, good win for cannon.

Thanks, someone who actually gave our kids the credit they deserve. Yes, our Coach was out of the box some, but he was not yelling @ the officials, he was Coaching his kids. Btw, speaking of officiating, the fouls were exactly even if my count is correct and we had to play the majority of the second half w/ two of our top three scorers on the bench, due to fouls...just give CC credit, they outplayed you. You have a great group of kids and I'm sure this will not be the last time we see each other.

Congratulations CCHS Lions on an awesome performance!!!! Actually the referees were not the same ones that were in Woodbury and in no way were they one sided on the Cannon side. I didn't see any of the Upperman players chatting with the refs, nor did I actually witness that there was some type of relationship between either school and the refs as there was in Cannon when everyone witnessed a coach and a couple of the refs who were extremely friendly with each other and Upperman players who were on a first name basis with the refs. Referees are always going to miss something and there is always enough people to point out exactly what they missed. Sometimes it is obvious that there is a favorite team among the referees as at Cannon (and no Cannon was not the favorite team) but actually the refs of last night seemed to be pretty consistant. Calls were missed on both sides but calls were also made on both sides. Those Cannon boys just came to play. They stepped up their game, played with heart and no matter what combination of kids were on the floor they played as a team. Cannon has some real leaders on their team (on and off the floor) but after a couple of them had to take a seat due to fouls and one was home sick, Jared Nave seemed to put the game on his shoulders. All the kids played their hearts out. Some hit crucial shots, some hit the floor in obvious offensive fouls, some made key defensive stops and some simply sat on the sidelines and supported and cheered their teammates on the floor on. Whatever the role, they all did their job. Great job Lions...Keep up the good work!!!!!!!

Wasn't trying to take anthing away from Cannon. I said they were good shooters and that beat us. If we had shot as well....especially from the free throw line the outcome would have been different.

where to start:

 

FIRST AND FOREMOST: Great game by CCHS. They had to play their tails off to hold of a very good comback attempt by the Bees. Both teams battled. Great effort on both sides, one team made more shots and won. Congrats to Cannon Co on an hard earned win. Very good job.

 

Second: Taking nothing away from the CCHS win. That was not the best effort by the officials. PART OF THE GAME, SOMETIMES YOU JUST HAVE TO PLAY OVER THAT STUFF. But not the greatest officiating last night. Couple quick notes on this subject: The MrCoachMcWilliams Technical was a crap call. I dont care what happened with the coach on the other end. Doesnt matter to me what he was doing. Bobby didnt do enough to warrant a T. ALSO, when a ref blows the whistle, and then asks the ref on the other end what the call should be. . . . thats not a good call. Great to communicate, but that ref had no idea what was happening all night. The game was too fast for that ref. Could not handle it.

 

EDIT: just because the number of calls each way were equal, does not mean it was a well officiated game. Just means that the numbers were equal both ways. Says nothing to the quality of officiating.

 

Third: Sending security up to silence a fan was a bush league move by the refs. If you cant take the heat, stay out of the kitchen. I was sitting right behind ol "D-up" and he said NOTHING out of line all game. He was on the refs, but they get paid well. It is part of the game. Just as "bad calls" are part of the game that the kids have to play over, the fans are part of the game that the refs need to just deal with. Do you job right and the fans will never notice you. And, in the words if ol D-Up himself, "If you dont want to stink, DON'T STINK" If someone had made threats, or personal attacks on the refs, that would have been a different story. The only thing coming from that section of the stands were cheering for the Home team, and getting on the refs for their work "professionally" never anything personal. I was there the whole night. It was all clean.

 

Lastly: Unfortunately, UHS boys just fell to 1-1 when my kid sings the National Anthem. sigh.

 

BOTTOM LINE: Great showing by the CCHS team and fans. Im certain there will be a rematch down the road, and Im also certain it will be a good one!! Good luck the rest of the way to both teams.
