4A Game Talk - Iowa City, West (19-3) vs. Newton (19-5)

HALFTIME - Newton 30, Iowa City West 28

This would possibly be the biggest upset I've ever seen in the last 20 years. I feel West will win it but Newton is giving them everything they can handle.

To me the state must have told the officials that West will win this game.

West definitely benefitted from several pretty brutal calls/ no calls during the 4th. Thought it was pretty well-officiated until the 4th, then the wheels came off for that crew.

I now know why I don't watch high school basketball. The amount of fouls called on the most insignificant contact is just ridiculous. It's almost like if you beat your man on the perimeter going to the basket and you intentionally run into someone, it's an automatic foul. It's absurd. A guy can literally be standing there and the offensive player initiates the contact and they still get the foul to go their way.

Score?

If those McCaffery boys were named McGriff , they would be headed to St. Ambrose. Newton was completely robbed by those refs and yes probably the IHSSA, who love their Hawkeyes.

Yes, yes, yes x1000.
