Shooting was what lost this one for the Rebels. I don't know what their shooting percentage was for the first half but if it was above 20 percent I would be surprised. The second half SG came out and started hitting threes and running the fast break well. If the first half would have went like the second half did, the Rebels may have won this game.

Also, I will be insterested in seeing how many threes the Rebels put up last night. It was almost like watching VMI last night. The second half was either a fast break or a three. It got the Rebels back into it and was pretty fun to watch.

So many factors played a part in the loss that SG took against Trimble. First and formost I think that it killed SG by not having a game in almost two weeks. I am not sure exactly what happened with the scheduling but I believe that someone needs to look into it and see that it doesn't happen again in the future. Secondly, the loss of Haner during the first half of the game dramatically changed the momentum of the game. It is hard to play a team as strong as Trimble when a vital link of the team is missing. Hope that Haner is up and ready to play again this upcoming week. Having said this, I want to make sure to say that Trimble deserved this win - they played hard and in the end they are the team that wanted this win the most. Are they a better team than SG? NO - I still think that SG is the stronger of the two teams and had the factors mentioned about not been in place then SG would have put the points on the board and walked away with the win.

Good game by both teams.

The officiating was good, and that shocked me. Other than that, Trimble was the better team this time. Though keep on justifying why you lost. FYI Trimble had a player with the flu and he still played.

Do you always have negative things to say ? Cant you just say good job to both teams. They both played well, it was a close game all the way through untill the end when SG was playing catch up. The officiating couldnt have been any better. Also if a kid has the Flu he shouldnt play. Congrats to Trimble on the win and keep playing hard Rebels.

The score was not close, so maybe you have a different aspect you look at to say it was close all the way through. Also, I read how yea Trimble won but SG is still better... I didn't see you jumping on those people. As for my officiating comment, yes it is surprising to see a well officiated unbiased game in the TVC. Just go back to the Trimble v. SG football game and you will see that.

The game was within 5 to 10 points the entire game, until SG started to play catch up just like I said. Most people said SG didnt even have a chance. It would have been alot different if Haner would have played. He is the Rebels second leading scorer. But Trimble played well and got on a late run to put the Rebels away. It was a 5 point game with like 4 mins left and Trimble just went on a run.

Both teams played hard but Trimble got the win they deserved. Like I stated before, SG's first half shooting percentage was terrible. Rebels came out the second half a different team and looked to run with the ball and did so which got them back in the game. The second half they put together really impressed me with their fast pace and shooting.

In the end though, Trimble seemed to want it a little more while SG seemed to wear down a bit. Trimble started hitting the offensive glass at the end, not just their big man but even some smaller guards, they hit their foul shots, and they played smart at the end.

The score was not close

Are you high?????????? It was a 5-10 point game the whole way until the last 4 min or so. Come on man, get a clue, don't get on here and lie about a high school game, it's pretty childish.

Heavy D-Interesting comment, "As for my officiating comment, yes it is surprising to see a well officiated unbiased game in the TVC. Just go back to the Trimble v. SG football game and you will see that." Since several of the members of the crew that worked the football game work a great deal of playoff games including a final or two. I even believe the white hat that night has done the North-South Game. Is that something you are not use to seeing then?

The most Trimble got up by was like 13 at the begining of the third, and then they went on their late run and just pulled away.

Well since you said that they were great. Cause we all know that no one gets to do playoff games or all star games unless they are great officials. Has nothing to do with coaches who like them getting the AD to vote for them.

The TVC is a joke when it comes to refs. SG is good they had a bad night

State Finals games have nothing to do with what coach or whatever AD likes them. The OHSAA Officiating Officer reviews them and picks them. I am sure the North South game does not have slouches as referees either. You need to think before you post.

mercerville monster-they just want to stir things up. Your take on the game was right on.

Thanks mtswngrvsg! I can't make it to many games this year but the ones that I can I try to be at. I expect this team to surprise some people and when tourney time rolls around they will be a tough out.

It has everything to do with the coach liking them. The more high scores they get from coaches, the more games they get. It also has to do with who their chapter members vote for. Usually the most popular members get the votes. That is why you see playoff games, even finals, where you think how did this guy get this game.

I am not trying to stir anything up. Nor am I a school AD on here trying to justify the hiring of sub-par officials. Not an AD on here on the schools dime either. I will tell you this though. When an official spends most of his time during the game looking back at the players and coaches on the sidelines telling them to get back and threatening to toss people out, instead of paying attention to what is going on out on the playing field he is not very good, regardless of his playoff experience. That is just one thing out of many but I won't continue on the basketball forum.

Did you not watch the State Finals on STO? They explained it on there how the officials are elected to officiate the State Championships and it was not eve close to what you were saying. One guy has his hands in it and it is the Commissioner of officials or whatever they call him. He has the say on who officiates the championships and who don't.
