D2 Regional Semi Waverly (1 Seed) vs McClain (2 Seed)

[hbk1999]

Charge call was awful….

Watch the video when you get home

It was a good call

[danicalifornia]

Does this mark Waverly's deepest tournament run since the state AA final four semi-finals appearance in 1970?

They reached the Elite 8 in 1980

[Omega]

Thanks for the updates I92...much appreciated!!!

Onward and upward Waverly !!!

No problem….still fine tuning the best way to keep it fluid and understandable

Ditto on the thanks I 92.

Kind of hard to critique the game given the video problems. I am eager to catch the replay.

Yeah, they lost to Dayton Chaminade 73-55. I remember Dave mostly as an offensive lineman in football.

Heck of a game by both teams, not sure that I've seen a game where it was tied after every quarter. Waverly fans went crazy over the charge at the end, but I haven't seen a replay and watching it live I 100% felt it was the right call. Trey was taking the shot and he lowered his shoulder with all intentions of getting to the rim and the kid had position, even during the timeout the official that was getting the earful from Travis walked over and told the other ref good call. For the most part #10 did a nice job of guarding Trey, McClain found themselves in trouble offensively when Waverly either knew going in or figured it out early on that #32 and #11 for McClain were the only true offensive threats allowing the others wide open shots and McClain simply couldn't make them pay.

Congrats on one heck of a season for McClain and a heck of a ball game tonight both teams left it all out there and I actually left wondering whether or not Waverly would have enough in the tank to play at the level it's going to take to beat Heath. Snow storm coming Friday night and Saturday it looks like they might get some extra rest. Great game by both teams, the officials had some questionable calls here and there both ways but I thought for the most part they really let them play but not to the point where it got out of hand. Congrats to both teams.

Charge call was awful….

Nah that's the bias coming out, it was without a doubt the right call other official even came over and told him good call. So 2 out of 3 officials seen it the exact way, crucial missed free throws made it come down to that ending in regulation.

I felt like the charge was 100% correct. Waverly was called for 3 fouls the entire 2nd half, not sure how they are unhappy with the officiating at all.

Futhy was a beast and was far and away the difference in the game.

Excellent game all around and very fun to watch. Congrats to Waverly on the win and best of luck in the Elite 8.

Not many fouls on either team until McClain had to start fouling.
Will Futhey is a beast as well as freshman Braylon Robertson. Bray did an outstanding job defensively and had two big triples in the first period to get Waverly going.

[smurray]

Good Luck to McClain seniors moving forward, you guys played a hard fought game!

Congrats to Waverly on the Elite 8!!! Rough shooting performance tonight.. but player of the game goes to Will Futhey! HUGE game with 17 points and 15 rebounds! That’s a way to work

Keep things rolling Saturday fellas!

Yeah, it was a charge. Some were complaining they bodied him all the way to the charge, but I thought the officiating was fine. Will Futhey “Will-ed” us to the win and Trey hit shots when he had to. McClain was physical and very well-coached. How many players do they lose?

[smurray]

People asking about the last time Waverly made it to the Elite 8. Tigers finished the 1980 regular season 12-8 (playing in the old SEOAL) but then went on a tournament run knocking off state ranked teams along the way.
Waverly met up with Portsmouth in the Regional Final and lost a heartbreaker 48-47 or something like that.
Tigers lead by one and Portsmouth scored with around 6 seconds. Waverly got a good look and shot at the buzzer that fell off.
Waverly AD Bo Arnett was a senior PG on that team.

I believe they had 10 seniors….

I was there, but I was young. Was that the 79-80 season or 80-81?
