The game wasn't as close as the score showed. HMB definately let up the second half and if they would have wanted to, could have easiley made it 20+. Maybe Coach Bjerklie took the starters out at the end. Tough to make a 3 day tourney with no bench...

i agree, the monday-tuesday-thursday tournaments favor teams like HMB over the thursday-friday-saturday tourneys.....why did they change it anyway?

yowser, back and forth with lamoure and steele-dawson in the first quarter...couple of lead changes after the pirates jumped up 5-0 to start the game.

lamoure leads 15-14 after eight minutes.

33-19 steele at halftime...a 7-0 run to open the second quarter followed by a 12-0 run might have sealed the deal already

9-0 run by lamoure to close out third quarter makes the game somewhat close.

43-33 steele-leading going into the fourth quarter.

by **rep** » Tue Feb 20, 2007 3:24 pm

61-45 steele wins it

lamoure pulled to within nine to eight early in the fourth quarter and within nine later on, but could get no closer.

I thought after Napoleon gave LMM a run this would be easy for SD to go to state, now I'm not sure what to think. However, I think Sand has a few things up his sleeve for this game.

if lmm starts slow like they have the last couple of games, steele's defense might be a touch too tough to come back on.

but if lmm were to hit it right away and if brown were to stay out of foul trouble i think they should be able to keep it close and have a chance to win.

Brown is the key if LMM has a chance to win. She has to stay out of foul trouble and play the whole game. Same with S/D. Eckroth and Fredrickson have to stay in the game too. I think this one's up for grabs.

I know he does.

Also, you will have to watch who refs the game. If the championship game gets the reffing crew from District 5, LMM will have an advantage. In the three games they reffed, they called 58 fouls on the distict 6 teams and 25 on the district 5 teams. Probably wouldn't have helped much in the HMB because they shot poorly but the Napoleon and Linton games could have been different. That is an average of 10 fould more for the District 6 teams a game. Maybe someone needs to do a better job of choosing the refs for Regional play. Will have to check the paper Friday to see the foul difference again. Proofs in the papers..

Tell the District 6 teams to quit fouling so much then!

by **Watcher 007** » Thu Feb 22, 2007 5:27 am

Hahahahahaa, that's a good one. I just read the paper so I am not sure how bad it was. But that is a little to lopsided. The refs from District 6 three games had district 6 with 2 more fouls that district 5. something just doesn't seem to add up. I will have to listen to the games tonight and hear for myself what the radion guy thinks.

I was at all the games on opening night, the end of the SD-LaMoure game, and the HMB vs LMM game. Reffing definately didn't decide the games, sorry. Linton totally shot themselves in the foot, that is why they lost. HMB lost on Tuesday night because of youth and inexperience. Sure you can say Fettig and Scherr fouled out but they both committed a couple of dumb fouls. Reffing definately didn't have any effect on the game. Please don't say something like "Maybe someone needs to do a better job of choosing the refs for Regional play." when all you did was see the fouls in the paper. Pretty hard to say how the reffing was when you weren't even at the game.

by **Watcher 007** » Thu Feb 22, 2007 6:20 am

Did you read the whole thing? I wasn't questioning the HMB game because the radio said they just shot terrible but it makes a person wonder if fouls could have had something to do in the other two games. Like Linton, I see Feist had 5 points. That's not Fiest, did she sit because of fouls and that took them out of the game. Maybe not, I am not sure, but looking at the final stats for fouls, it just doesn't look right.

by **baller01** » Thu Feb 22, 2007 11:09 am

Feist had 5 points because LaMoure did a great job of having 3 and even 4 girls on her at times. Abby had no room to breathe in the lane. She wasn't in foul trouble.

by **ndtaterman** » Thu Feb 22, 2007 11:14 am

I am an unbiased basketball fan that watched all the games on opening day. I thought the reffing was fairly good all day. Feist did sit out a few minutes in foul trouble but Lamoure had her pretty bottled up in their zone. As for a District 5 team Brown from LMM sat out most of the first two games in foul trouble. Absolutly stupid to say the refs have had any impact on the games outcome.

Steele is your region 3 champion, 40-28. LaMoure is your 3rd place team, not sure on the score.

by **tingly** » Thu Feb 22, 2007 8:09 pm

Lamoure 43-39

by **Watcher 007** » Fri Feb 23, 2007 5:03 am

Congrats Steele-Dawson on your win over LMM. The first three quarters didn't sound good but it sounded like you started to play in the 4th quarter. Congrats again. Great Job to Senior Athlete of the Year Kristen Cuypers of LMM and Region 3 Coach of the Year Richard Bjerklie from HMB. Both were deserving of their awards.

Was at the region games, even though the refs didn't change the outcome of any games, in my opinion and several others that were there, felt the East refs favored the district 5 teams. Two main players from H-M-B did foul out but some of the fouls they called on them were very questionable. Just wondering if they could mix up the refs from both districts to ref a region game. Not sure if that would work but maybe it would be called more evenly. Just my opinion.
