Savanah Herndon and Autumn Fields incident!! This happened in a game last night!! End result, South River has a key player injured. Broadneck looses a key play for the first round of the Playoffs!! Several fouls could have been called before the incident!! Games are getting out of control!!

TheTruthOnly there is always two sides of a story. To assume Cooper was just sat for no reason while her team got demolished is a poor assumption on your part. I'm not here to bash or talk about anyone but come on do you really think she would have sat for no reason? This is a kid who has played 98% of each game this year. I know the reason and I think it was a good reason to sit. Win or loose its about principals.

Assuming...this issue was addressed several posts ago. Maybe you need to go back and reread, instead of ASSUMING (although you say you know) on YOUR part. Point me to the post that indicated COOPER was benched for no reason???

My name is "TheTruthOnly" which makes me incapable of assumptions. The facts are like DJ said......several key players from teams all over the county hurt their teams chances for post season runs by playing key players in games that technically would NOT have changed the seeding outcome. Therefore, regardless of the reason why Cooper sat " while her team got demolished is a poor assumption on your part". Like girlsball just posted, you are days late and your post do not seem to be factual nor positive in the slightest. As a result, Meade will struggle greatly now, that is a fact! That is not an assumption.

Just confirmed...Cooper injured during tonights game against Glen Burnie....probably done for the season! Cut and swollen eye!! Word coming in from a number of the games tonight that the Officiating was subpar!! I sincerely hope that the County takes a good look at this end of year situation and addresses this issue of makeup games!! You had more games scheduled than the Officiating Board could cover with quality Officials!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DJ, I don't completely agree with this. On the scheduling side, I don't bemoan the job Clayton and his folks have done one bit. When everything is cancelled for a week at a time, the season is going to have to be condensed somehow, honestly maybe just cancelling a few games instead of trying to jam games in wherever possible. I don't like this for the girls either, from a parents perspective trying to play back-to-back-to-back nights because of re-schedules is just crazy. There are a lot of parents who want to support the basketball side of things, but they balance that with some of the AP class requirements and some of the other stuff they are involved in, it starts to adversely affect those things as well. From the officiating side, scheduling can be a nightmare. Instead of trying to schedule three games a night you are trying to schedule four or sometimes five. It stretches what the boards are able to do with distribution of officials and ones who would have been available for games are getting stretched too thin. AA and Baltimore County Boys are still going to pull most of the top official crews over AA girls. That's just not going to change. There's no way SR-Arundel girls is going to pull the top crews on the same night that Meade Boys are playing Old Mill or Arundel boys are playing Glen Burnie. I don't think the officiating has been bad in AA county. I might be in the minority there, but I don't think there are many people who know how to evaluate officiating well. I think comparatively, with other parts of Maryland it's pretty good. AA county gets a better product than Baltimore or Harford County, especially on the girls side. I have coached girls basketball and refereed it in Maryland and there are problems, but not all of them them aren't in the officials control. We only played AA county teams 2-3 times when I coached, but one thing I saw was there was a big disparity between skill level of the teams at the top and the teams near the bottom. Big disparity in coaching and teaching, as well. The teams at the top (OM, Meade, SR, Arundel) games were much easier to officiate because there was skill, passing, movement and spacing on display. You have girls who know how to play the game with their feet and their hands. Thus, a much better brand of basketball. But once you get into the bottom rung, it starts to get watered down. Much more physical, much less skill, much tougher to officiate. Officials start to call the first thing rather than the important thing. The reality is, the more that's going on on the floor, the more bodies falling, the harder it gets.
