Basketball season draws to a close......

I will probably sound bitter, but the refs sucked....the one ref only blew his whistle ONCE and it was to call a foul that should have been on Jackson (kid on our team) but instead he blew the whistle and stood there for a minute, looked around and called out Grant's number (Grant wasn't even by the play, it was at the bottom of the left hand side of the key and Grant was at the top)...so Grant fouled out of the game with 2 minutes left...you should have heard the roar for our stands in protest and the other teams in glee.....the kid went to the line and got the game within 2 points......then the kid Jay had to sub in for Grant got flustered and turned over the ball....All Saints (opponent) went down and tied the game....it went to overtime.....10 secs left in overtime the ref (who had called almost exclusively for All Saints the whole game...come on team fouls of 16 to 4 at the end of the game, we are talking 4th graders here and All Saints is very aggressive) calls a foul at midcourt (minimal contact...could have been a block could have been a charge...could have gone either way..but it was the kind of thing she had let go the entire game) that put their best free throw shooter at the line.....All Saints won by 2!

I just hate it when the refs decide the game....it is one thing to lose because you aren't as good of a team, but another becuase the refs mess up! Grant was really upset right after the game, but he got over it pretty quickly! Jay did better with the loss than I expected he would!

Anyhow...now I have that out of my system! Today we rest! Baseball starts Monday!
