[The Guru]

First of all, I would like to thank both teams on such a compelling 2-OT thriller. Reminds me of another 2-OT game I've played in against Paintsville. Now onto my thoughts on the game.

I'm sick of reading all these posts about the officiating. Seriously, what game has anyone ever watched that no one ever complained about it? None, so let's just quit complaining about it.

True, I can see why Booher wanted to hold the ball. Yet, if he could have went after Vanhoose or Slone to get that 5th foul on them, then I think the outcome would have changed dramatically. Then again, if Valley had made half of their freethrows there probably would have been no overtime in the first place. However, I must compliment them for making a game of it after falling behind double digits in the first half and clawing back to retake the lead on several occassions.

Now onto Painstville. It's good to see you guys finally make it to the finals. I know you all have run into some tough times in the previous three years, but that's in the past. Make it count this year. I am surprised that you guys were able to overcome some serious foul trouble and play that long without fouling out. I really wish you guys had a solid bench (and by this, I mean more than 1 person) in order to not have to play a majority of your starters with 2 fouls each in the first half. Anyway, good luck to you and Johnson Central in the finals.

Now for all of the bashing I've read on here, this is ridiculous. I think it was mamacat who said that the boys get on here and read this even though I'm sure the coach would prefer them not to. No one is perfect, which means everyone makes mistakes. But to come out and mention names and put the blame on them, that is not ethical at all. I only ask you to think about what you say first before posting it. Pretend that you are one of the boys and if what you type would more than likely irk you, then don't post it.

All of this is coming from a former Shelby Valley Wildcat who has the utmost respect for Bill Mike Runyon and his Tigers. Bill Mike has had such a storied athletic and coaching career, and I wish him the best of luck to whatever lies in the future for him.

WOW!!!:Clap:
All I can say!
