I have a question about both games. How were the girls selected and how do officials get chosen?
I ask because South Carolina's girls team was really at a disadvantage in terms of skill and talent. Surely this group did not represent the top 18 seniors in this state. Or did they?
In the boys game the kid with dreadlocks for SC got horse collared and taken to the ground but he was the one whistled for the foul. In fact since the official called him for the foul it should have been a penalty kick because it was well within the box, but in reality the foul was definitely on the NC player and the referee totally messed up the call. He seemed a little green for that type of game. The rotund linesman with the mustache couldn't even keep up with the play because it was so fast and had to be relieved in the second half. That was a fun game to watch!
