WinCrimson 61 Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Why couldn't this have involved Calera? They've given Andalusia one of our two losses this season and I want them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wardameagl 2 Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 I attended the game and watched whole game plus brawl. First and foremost the AHSAA should be embrassed that the officials allowed this mayley to take place. Every game on Tuesday was called very loose and players were beating and banging all over the place without hardly any fouls called. Loose officiating leads teams to getting mad and players tired of getting pushed around without fouls called. Tight officiating would have prevented this from happening. Second, why did AHSAA only have 2 police officers on the court during the game?? Two officers are common in a teams home gym, but not a place like the Alcadome on ASU campus. The fight could have been alot worse and there was nothing that the police could do about it. This would not have been so bad, but after the fight, the AHSAA still only had 2 police officers on the court during game play. DID THEY NOT LEARN A LESSON?? Lastly, The AHSAA is a corupt organization that does not care about anything but making money. They do not have solutions, only problems. They are fining teams for problems that happen at games, but can not tell them how to fix them or suggestions on how to fix them. The post-season in Alabama HS sports is too long of a process and to many stressful games for the kids. Steve and boys need to go ruin something else. Bring back Washburn!!
