Dangle link=topic=95908.msg1177637#msg1177637 date=1329236988] I saw the highlight reel last night on KFDM & I have a question. I have attended the Barbers Hill Christmas Classic a few times and last night I recognized 2 of the 3 officials in the game as Bay Area referees (the chapter that Liberty uses). Why would H-F agree to play a play-off game with the opponent's home referees instead of neutral officials??????? [/quote] Oh...must have been the refs fault. They must have favored Liberty. That explains it. Sounds to me like HF underestimated Liberty. Liberty may be a third place team, but they can play ball. Nobody came close to Splendora in district, until Liberty beat them in the last game. One may assume that Splendora would have had it easy, since they pounded Liberty by 30 points, in their first match-up. Point is, they are playing well, and should have earned your respect. BTW...what chapter does HF use? [/quote] Not only did they beat Splendora but they beat them; 51-21 shows how easily Liberty could have replaced them as the district champions if not for the 2 losses to Huffman. [/quote] I wouldn't say easy. Without the Huffman losses, we end up tied. That said, Splendora stunk it up in that game, and pretty well handed the win to Liberty. Remember, nobody came close to Splendora, before that last game. They may have had the same attitude that HF had. Point is, don't underestimate your opponent. I do recall your pre-season prediction: Liberty 1st, Huffman 2nd, the rest you didn't know or care. So perhaps you did some underestimating yourself. Personally, I hope we both make it through the area round, so we can play in the quarter-finals. I think we need to settle the score. ;)
