  1. Hey WR 09, don't let JJ ruffle any feathers. He is still butt hurt over last year. I don't believe Waskom will be pushover. I do believe that we will win , as the passing game opens up the run. We gonna hit them for some short runs then bust off some 50-60 yarders.
  2. JJ, gonna sit on our side and wear blue? If you need a cap I'll bring it! I've been quite all year...WR wins in a close one!
  3. Thanks for the response. I see your point of view about letting the game come to "them"
  4. I agree 100% that offense is as guilty as D! That's just part of the game. It's up to the refs to control the game. Once they notice this stuff or overlook it, they can set the stage for the rest of the game. Diversity of refs, players and teams is what makes the game interesting. It would be boring if all were the same. The post was started to discuss the refs calling the game unfairly(one sided). If the ref sets the same stage for both teams, good teams change their game accordingly.
  5. Me and you can play without refs, if you like!! Then you would realize that fouls were created for a reason! The girls were not in Brooklyn playing an "And 1" game!!
  6. Considering those guys came from the Longview chapter, I would not be able to vouch for that statement... If it were your choice you would've certainly sent better representatives. I assure you of that.
  7. I understand that officiating is a second job. Do they still get paid money? They should know what they are doing. This isn't a family reunion game where uncle Joe and Aunt Ora Lee are calling it as they take picx!
  8. So, what you are saying is....Due to the implications of a game which will decide final standings of a district a chapter should send "who is most needed"?
  9. So, are you saying that we should give being president a try? An NFL quarterback? A principal? A cop? Being your boss? NO we shouldn't!! That is their job! We trust that given the position that the individual knows how to do it!!
  10. I would've been escorted by the badge, if you know what I mean! I can't believe that the ref instigated it with tossing the whistle! He deserved all he got!!
  11. Three officials per game? Yelling comes with the territory! You know that before you enter! All good refs I know do it for the love of the game. Not the money! Where do I sign?
  12. I would love to hear an honest opinion from some Harmony folks. I knew some would take offense. Were you there? Did you see girls deflated and helpless as they played with the style they had all year long? Apparently you weren't there or apparently you don't have children! I am not bashing refs by any means! I have not even stated negativities towards those guys. I have simply reached for answers. Harmony fans, if you answer this post, please be honest. I am not taking anything away from the team, at all! Like I said---Go represent the district well and good luck.
  13. None at the highschool level. I bet you would say, "that's what I thought!". I will tell you that I have played at your gym and had children play at your gym. So I know how WO roles. I promise, if you have children, you would've been disgusted as well. Did America like replacement refs in the NFL? NO! This was on that level.
  14. Tuesday Febuary 5, 2013, at Harmony Higschool I witnessed the worst officiated game that I have ever seen in my 33yrs of existence! I will be the first to admit that I have griped about officiating at least once or twice. However, this was a one-sided called game and it was obvious to everyone in the gym. Yes, my team was on the losing end of this one. So it stings even worse!! I am not gonna say anything about "home court advantage". What actually hurt the most was seeing our girls deflated, lose their pride and literally throw their hands up out of disgust and confusion as to why they deserved the treatment they were getting. If the opposing team slapped at our shot and hit the shooter’s arm, the ref motioned tip ball every time. It was so obvious that there was contact! A shooter from the other team lobs the ball, there is a definite foot and half of air between the ball and shooter’s hand. Our girl swats it(All Ball!). All of our fans go crazy only to hear a delayed whistle and notice the ref calling a foul! The opposing dribbler carries the ball while directly in front of the ref numerous times. Everyone seen it! Nothing was called. You would think our girls were 8 yr old little dribblers with all the traveling and double dribbles called on us. We get an offensive rebound and go back up only to get hacked hard across the forehead. NO FOUL!! Obvious Obvious Obvious!!! Fans yelling harshly at the ref only to have him glance at them with a smirk. It was like he knew what he was doing, because some comments certainly deserved a warning or possibly even an escort out of the gym. The end of the game, our girls are intentionally fouling the opposing players. NO FOULS CALLED!! SO obvious that we were fouling!! There were two refs. Yeah, I said two! This game was a very important game for both teams. There should've been THREE refs!! If my beliefs are true, I hope that all involved can live with themselves... I wish the Harmony girls nothing but a good playoff run. Go represent the district well..
