PAGE 8 Cubs Lose Heartbreaker In O.T. By: Tom Miller Waynesburg, 9-1 in the district relied on key foul shooting in the last seconds of overtime to hand Behrend a well fought defeat by the tune of 79-73. The first ten minutes of the game was blistered with tur novers, and each team traded baskets until Waynesburg got a three point play and took the lead 15-12 at the 11:51 mark. Inside I.M.

The Yellow Jackets then stung back by closing the gap to 56-51 with 9:26 left in the game. Waynesburg then hit key one on nevertheless, everyone gets a dig in now and then. A funny thing is that most of the complaining usually comes from the team that is behind or the team that loses the game. I found this a rather tickl ing coincidence. But maybe because I'm a referee I have a biased attitude towards the players and coaches. Perhaps I just don't realize the stakes of this "league champion ship." Not only do you get the satisfaction of knowing you're the champs of this intense league, but you also receive a token t-shirt for your effort. With this in mind, I guess I can understand why a player would want to make a fool out of himself (by yelling at the referees) in front of his peers. Being a referee is a very hard task and takes a lot of concentra tion. We are not the best officials in the game, but we give it our best shot, and no one deserves to be harassed in the manner that we are. I realize there's some bad calls, but no one is perfect. The players need to realize it's only a game, and not a life and death situation. A Quiet Time Away.. . For Talking, Wondering, "Finding Out" YOU and 30 Other Men.. . Who Have Some Questions.
