2/28 - #2 Athens v. #6 Chillicothe @ Convo

[ChillSoftball]

Athens up 4

[Bronc21]

Sad sad officiating for a tourney game. Cavs controlled this game till the whistle happy crew took over. 10 fouls cavs. Only 1 foul on Athens the whole half. I guess you don't foul when you're playing physical

[Johnny Quest]

59-49 Athens

[Bronc21]

2nd half. Cavs 13 fouls. Athens 1. Ft's for the game Athens 18. Cavs. 1. Unbelievable !!!

[WIFAN-22]

Either Athens plays excellent defense, or Chilli got robbed. I would usually say quit crying, but that's crazy.

A lot of the questionable no calls against Athens were around the bucket, where a lot of questionable calls went against Chillicothe. But, Athens took advantage and made up for how awful they played in the 1st half, so there's always that.

Way to go Dogs!!! Way to show up and represent the TVC. Hopefully the Vikings will follow in your footsteps tomorrow night!!

[jottings]

Was the final 59-49?

[Super trooper]

I thought the officiating was excellent. The Chillicothe coach didn't seem to have a problem with them

[WIFAN-22]

Dani- I understand what your saying about under the bucket fouls. I wasn't there, just sounds like an awful large disparity. Doesn't matter anyway, Athens moving on. They probably shouldn't come out to a slow start next game, could be trouble.
Super Trooper- cant imagine why you would think the officiating was great. Lol

[danicalifornia]

I don't feel like the officials had a direct outcome in the game at all, the freshmen for Athens made the difference down the stretch after Burrow brought them all the way back. It was a great game.

We played so bad the first half. Game changed when Johnson missed the dunk bad when down 1 and athens hit a 3. And scoring 31 in the 4th helps

93, i listened to your broadcast tonight, thought you guys were in trouble at half. i just have a little bone to pick with you though. in the postgame, you were comparing how Athens might do vs MT by comparing our scores vs Washington CH to what Chilly did against them and you really can't compare the two (well, i guess you can if you want) because WCH is our rival, the schools are only 4 miles apart, and you can always throw out the records in those games. the better comparison would be common opponents, you guys won @LE by 3 and we won tonight by 7 so i'd call it pretty even if both teams play to their potential. just my thoughts on the subject.

i totally agree!!

[Iggy25]

Not going to get many fouls when you don't go inside in the second half. Johnson didn't drive much. Missed a big wide open dunk that could have given the Cavs the lead. Instead Athens pulled away. The refs weren't bad at all. Bulldogs looked sluggish and uninspired in the first half. Came out with more intensity in the second half.

[Spartan]

The game changed when the second half started. Athens go plus 7 the 3rd quarter to get the defecit manageable.

[Pol pot]

Zach Johnson reminding Athens that he's one of the best players in the SE district

That was an absolute MONSTER dunk he threw down, probably sealed the momentum of the game.

Get a clue! Athens played a zone and Chillicothe rarely attacked that zone in the second half.

[Raider6309]

Ibi Watson I thought had the better game. He had 18 in second and Johnson had 9

[Super trooper]

I think burrow won the game, making some huge shots right out of halftime
