FatBoy 10 Report Share Posted February 27, 2005 Since the season is over for all of us, who were the best referees you saw this year? <font color="red"> </font> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmspartan 10 Report Share Posted February 27, 2005 Stewart Robertson, Justin Porterfield, L.B. Wood - I also liked the two referees we had at Grundy Thursday night and the two we had at Abingdon last night - although they were certainly better in the second half than in the first.

OFISHBB 10 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 I did not see any bad refe's this year. Some of the good crews are The crew out of Richlands. But where is that one guy, someone told me he moved out of town and is working the I 81 schools, those schools are lucky to have him. Good job to all ref's you do great job.

cityofRaven 2,444 Report Share Posted March 4, 2005 The Richlands crew is good but the crew that refed the twin valley-twin springs game in nickelsville were horrible, they made the outcome of the game sway a whole diff way then it should have.

FatBoy 10 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2005 Hey OFISHBB; the ref you are thinking of is Sanders Henderson; he married a honey down Bristol and is reffing ball there. I think he works mostly with Tyrone Foster and Steve Honaker at the I-81 schools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babyblue 10 Report Share Posted March 4, 2005 I totally agree.. Terribly Biased calls at critical times... Whats the saying.. let the players decide the outcome... Well, that isn't the way I've seen it a few times this year.. Mostly when Twin Springs was playing Twin Valley.. But, give credit to Twin Springs they have some major players. Oh, does anyone know the ref, his first name is Terry, he is bald and has a fu man chu...? He might be from up around bluefield.. i really dont know.. When I've seen him call.. he allows no contact in the guard positions!! It makes for a rough night when nothing is called inside and every bump out front is whistled!! But, anyway.. these guys looked very professional in their appearance, composure and mechanics.. It just seemed like they had to get into the game at critical times!! lol.. Also, its very noticeable when one official has whistled one team 4 straight times! That seems like he's really enforcing his area, while everyone else is letting them play! All I know is it just dont look good! Even if the fouls might be there! Whats someone else idea about this topic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OFISHE8 10 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 I agree Richlands Alum, Hurst has worked numerous State Tourneys and plenty of middle school, high school, and college level bball. His philosophy of "let 'em play" makes the game a lot more fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â [/ QUOTE ] Â If we expand this discussion to football, then yes it would be a travesty to exclude Charlie Warner. And you'd have to throw in liberal mentions of Yogi Price and Buzz Warner, for that matter. Â Let's not be talking "jonk" about Bennett. 'Cause if you do, he's "gonna bust ya."

OFISHBB 10 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 I would like to know what college games Young Hurst Called frat games at JMU or Flying Eagles Games at SVCC. And as for as ranking young Hurst I would put him up there with Bill Bunch Shane Scott and time out Tommy Ownes. What will young Hurst do when he can not ride Altizer's coat tails?

Those mortician types have powers beyond those of normal humans, you know. I'll bet Hurst is channeling Greever Crouse as we speak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FatBoy 10 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 Hey CatfishBB I can't help you much about where the girl that Sanders Henderson married is from. I went a few rounds in the Rough and Rowdy Brawl up in Welch this weekend and Sabders had his 'ol lady up there and let me assure you, she is every bit the bomb. The gal is classy for sure; my guess is that she is from Ohio or somewhere where men are men and women are women. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about this blast from the past Richard Shrimp Buchanan  [/ QUOTE ]  Dan "the Man" Matthews. Sometimes good. Sometimes bad. No comment on his looks.  Jerry Hagy. One of the good guys. Also one of the best groomed.  Craig Barbrow. Without him, the whole of Smyth County would fold up and die.  As for the gridiron....  Sam Cassidy. Excellent official, plays a mean guitar, and looks good in a Red Coat.  Louis Callahan. Kept his refereee out of trouble on many a night. And quite possibly the best looking individual in the history of Caretta, WV.  Yogi Price. Excellent official and responsible for every GOP election victory since Nixon.  Mark Dunham. Beautiful human being all around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
