High school basketball: Copper Hills shuts down Kearns

Congrats to Copper Hills on the win. But if you were there you might have thought you were watching a football game rather than basketball. A few deserved and well placed a calls by the officials would have calmed things down and let the game develop as a basketball game should. Instead there were two officials that would not make a call in the first half and by the time they started to in the second half the game was already out of control.
In the opinon of this spectator UHSAA should never send these officials to ref any game unless it was beginning level junior jazz.

I totally agree with Spectator #1. I've had kids in High School sports for many years and this is one of the worst officiated games I've ever seen. It is amazing that no one was more seriously injured than the many bumps and bruises that did occur. UHSSA, please never let those two officials be together on a game again. Congrats to Copper Hills!
