The men picked up their "axes" and continued play Tuesday 1/2/07 in Greenville. They brought an 0-4 record to the floor, and continue to play without Ryan Ghelfi, who is still out with a broken leg.
This reporter, didn't keep game states quarter by quarter, but I did keep track of the officiating. And in my humble opinion, the officiating continued to be partisian, infavor of the Plumas Christian Pilots. The officials called a total of 16 fouls against the Lumberjacks, while only blowing their whistle 7 times on Plumas Christian. That send Plumas to the line 17 times, while the Lumberjacks only were at the stripe for 2 attempts.
This reporter saw the referees visiting with the Plumas fan base during half time, in a rather friendly manner...and felt the numbers and the over all calls of the game speak for themselves as to the unfairness of the officiating. It doesn't speak well for the officiating crew.
That being said, the Lumberjacks trailed by 12 at the first quarter, 11-23, and were behind 13-43 at the half. They came back slightly in the second half, scoring 22 in the third and 17 in the fourth, to end the game 52-78.
Michael Bouchard led the Lumberjacks with 20 points, and hit 2 from 3 point range. Kevin Pennington scored 18, with 4 buckets from beyond the arc!
Stats are not available as of this writing on line for the Plumas Pilots, but Tory Manchester (#11)scored at least 50 points. (We refered to him on the visiting side line as "The Ball Hog" for his selfish end to end play.) and Stefan Johnson scoring 24. Remember guys...it's a team game.
