After talking to people today i did hear that the foul that was called was definately a foul, so to all i stand corrected! Like i said before though, its no big deal to me as I have only one loyalty and that is to the STATE CHAMPIONS!

I dont want it to sound like I'm making excuses for Livingston, But the officials were very good. They must have had some of those first game jitters as well. But I can live with poor refs, thats just part of the game. The thing that got me REALLY upset was when the ref called a foul at the end of the game, the girl that got fouled was not Hall. It was #12, whoever she is. That is unacceptable. The calls I can live with, but getting the shooters mixed up is bound to make some people mad.

However, OS has a great team! They should do very well this season!

Its history now. But, that was what coach Smith was trying to tell the officials at the end. Before the free throw.

No. 12 is Jessie Hackworth and she was the girl that took the ball in 75-feet away so she didn't get fouled. Hall was the one that broke from midcourt and was knocked down at the free throw line while trying to come up with the pass from No. 30 Wampler. So yes, the correct person did shoot the free throw. You can watch the video at OSHS.com

Were you doing the PA ? I am just curious. I moved down behind the announcer at the end, to correct an error on the roster and missed some good plays.

Goose,

 

You and I saw the same thing. Laura gets the tipped pass, but is hooked in the arm by the defender. I thought the ref had no choice but to make the call as Laura had a good chance to get the shot off. What was impressive to me was how well OS executed the long in-bounds play: great pass, good tip, and an excellent chance to make the shot. I thought the refs did an adequate job, they allowed both teams to be physical; lots of no-calls with Laura driving into the paint.

 

As for the team, I think this is a better team already than last year. They are deeper and it seems like everyone can handle the ball and shoot. Even though I'm from Oak Ridge I'll be looking forward to seeing a lot of good basketball in Oliver Springs.

ITSALLABOUTBALL, What game were you at??????? So we have decided it couldn't be # 12. Now who was fouled??? Pick a number any number, just make sure they were on the floor.

I was sitting under the OS basket in the second half. I was about three feet away from the ref when he blew his whistle and I knew exactly what he was calling because I had the same view.
