<\/a><\/p>\nThe Lady Cats fought hard to the very end.<\/p>\n
Much has been made of the Lady Cats being moved up in class from 3A to 4A just because they made appearances in the last two 3A State Final games but did not win either one.\u00a0 I have made noise about it.<\/p>\n
Look, I just speak the rights.\u00a0 No need to stop now.\u00a0 The three officials doing tonight’s game wanted to be more of the story than the ten girls on the floor.\u00a0 They seemed like they were not there for the right reasons.\u00a0 I have NEVER called out refs before.\u00a0 These guys were beyond terrible.\u00a0 They were showy and demonstrative when they relayed calls to the scorer’s table.\u00a0 One guy out there looked like he was auditioning for the part.\u00a0 It was sad.\u00a0 It was sad because I know the NH team worked so hard to get there.<\/p>\n
This is not to say that a few more free throws in the hole for North and a few less in the hole for BNL would not have made a difference.\u00a0 Sure it would have.\u00a0 But I had a great sense that country mouse was not welcomed in city mouse’s gym…on many levels.\u00a0 And that is a shame.<\/p>\n
The IHSAA got it wrong again when they moved NHHS to 4A in girls basketball.\u00a0 I say again referencing to a football snafu after a storm ten years ago that cancelled a football game that never got played.\u00a0 But that is ancient history.<\/p>\n
What won’t be ancient history is the run the NHHS Lady Cats have been on the last three years.\u00a0 The ball will keep bouncing and the Lady Cats will keep rolling.<\/p>\n
I am proud of all of them.<\/p>\n
Speaking the Rights…<\/p>\n
