Gallia Academy@ Ironton

[svac83]

They must of already had given that by the time I got in car and found it. They were just finishing interviewing ironton coach. But I can tell you it was low

Ironton will play Loveday VERY PHYSICAL-guarantee it.

Black Raider had this one spot on. If he struggles to establish position on the block with 6’02” OVC kids bouncing him around what will happen when he lines up against grown men in the college ranks?

[GalliaGrad78]

He isn’t playing college ball yet. Duh

Wow, what a big win. Congratulations to the Fighting Tigers and Coach Lafon..

Great commentary to a legit observation GG78.

Maybe what Gallia is trying to say is let Loveday mature another few years, get on a college weight and nutrition program, and then maybe he becomes one of those “grown men” you speak of.

[oldschoolqb13]

I’ve never seen the young man play, but I hope to very soon.

Game Over!

You can’t as an official let kids mug a kid just because he 7’1” and call cheap fouls on him when he doesn’t even foul. That’s what happen at Ironton tonight at times they were locking their arms around his so he couldn’t hardly move. If you as an official are going to let a team rough up a kid don’t called cheap stuff on him. Plus scoring guy for Ironton who kept book didn’t put down a foul when Gallia Academy should have been shooting 1 and 1 which would have also been #45 4 foul but some how the refs let that happen when our book show we will in bonus everybody in Gallia crowd knew we should be in bonus. You can’t beat 8 people and tonight it was 9 include the home scorekeeper.

Oh boy!!

Mistakes are made in games by Refs coaches and players. The game was poorly officiated but it was poorly officiated because it was not consistent. What was and was not a foul was not the same every time down the court. Both teams had to deal with this ironton did a better job then the blue devils did.
Meets not blame officials. Or other things. Ironton has really played loveday 3 times when he has been a essential art of the game plan. All 3 times they have played the same way and really dictated the pace and style of play. The blue devils have not adjusted. That means there being out coached.

There were very simple adjustments that could of been made last night to change flow and outcome of game and the blue devils didn’t do them and ironton did. Congratulations to them.

Ironton beats Gallia
3 days ago Fairland who lost all 5 starters and I expected to really struggle this year beat Ironton.
From what I’ve seen, this loveday gets taken away from the basket way too easily to be a 7 footer playing against 6’2” post players. It takes more than size to be a good ball player. He gets taken out of the game mentally if you can frustrate him. GA came in to this season thinking they were going to be the Fairland of the last 2-3 years and run away with this league. Clearly that isn’t the case. Not near as talented. They may win the league but they’re going to have a few losses in the OVC.

Did Carrico play in this game for the Fighting Tigers?

[ohbuckeye2]

Worst officiating I’ve seen. Gallia couldn’t get a shot nor a call

According to the Ironton Tribune Gallia Academy had 22 Fouls to Irontons 19 - Turnovers 10 each

The announcers on Ironton radio also had the foul count correct at 7. Human beings do make mistakes sometimes at pivotal times.

Carrico played about 9 mins the whole game. 2 quick fouls put him on the bench early.

Also I'm gonna add the refs were bad on both ends,very inconsistent

[Pete_Bell]

In a game where the refs are (bad) on both sides, neither team gets an advantage. So as players tAake care of business. And don’t blame officials. As fans, or coaches. Self accountability.

The home book in any game is the final say. That is why the onus is on the visiting book keeper to communicate with the home book keeper during the course of play to ensure accuracy. as well. Officials handled this situation exactly as they should have. I’m not saying a mistake wasn’t made but the officials followed protocol on their side perfectly.
