Thanks Hurst 66. You're right about the referees.
I'm not going to claim I'm the most knowledgeable dad out there but the refereeing is really bad. I believe the coaches need to get together and demand the SCYSA improve the quality of the referees. I know it's a thankless job but some of the calls I have seen this year have been ludicris. Some defy common sense.
I disagree with the Dreher coach when he said "but it's also a credit to the pressure our guys were able to put on them to force them into making those mistakes." The pressure was playing for the Lower State Championship in front of a huge crowd, which I'm sure both teams aren't used to. The Dreher players, in the most part, were not near either goals. However, I don't expect him to say "Hey, we were lucky to win".
This year, Dreher is getting all the right breaks, bounces, and calls. It's not their fault and nothing should be taken away from their accomplishments and hard work. Good luck to them on Saturday.
