Dreher lost starting all-state junior sweeper Becca O'Connell in first 5 minutes of the game against Irmo. Trainers and doctor on sideline suspect a torn ACL.
Wishing her a negative MRI...

There was no doubt that Lexington dominated the game, but some of those goals could have been prevented. The officials never called the Lexington fouls, but called Blythewood fouls (even if they didn't exist). A "hand ball" was called in the box. When asked who the hand ball was on, the official simply responded with, "I don't know." Did Lexington deserve to win? Yes, they out played Blythewood. Should the score have been that high? No, the officials made many many unfortunate calls. I will even go as far as to say that with different officials, the game may have been evenly matched.
You have to remember that the officials are only human, they are merely a obstacle in the game. They will not always make the right calls, also the officials for games may not be the best remember all the other games that are going on this week/weekend the best ref's cant be at every game. 
That is a valid argument, but is it logical for even some of the worst refs to NEVER make the right call?? I am just worried that someone is going to get seriously injured.
I see where your coming from, but there is always a chance of injury with a good official or not. I didn't think from what i saw of the Irmo Dreher game that there was that bad of officiating and the Dreher player still got hurt.

What happened that the games are shorter? Just the rain forecast?
Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; [it] is also what it takes to sit down and listen.
