They lose Erickson, Tressta Ralston, Steph Rehovsky, & two more that saw little playing time.  (hopefully spelled those correctly)  With Katie Ralston around for 2 more years, they will be an excellent team.  I did notice that she was, to say it nicely, not happy with the loss.  In the handshake line after the game, she was less than sportsmanlike.  I'll leave it at that.  Not many people probably saw it, but I happened to notice.  Hopefully one of her coaches noticed.

what exactly did she do?

The officials do dictate how the game turns out to an extent, example...if a team plays pressure in your face defense and the officials call a tight game....then the team will have to change their defense....and if the official misses a travel and a kick at the end of the game....then i guess that the ref's have decided the game...D.P deserved their rematch against MM

yea and if they refs call a tight game with a team that likes to play pressure d, a great team can adjust to that. i said i wasnt' taking anythign away from dp. refs do not intentionally not call or call something that they shouldnt or should of.

I noticed in the hn/mm game that ericson was also less than sportsmanlike after the game.

to be honest with you im pretty positive there are some refs out there that intentionally call crappy calls...just an opinion

everybody needs to look at this website if you think DP lost to FLPR due to an offical call.... http://www.1morephoto.net go under gallery, girls basketball, and you will find pictures of the pass. you can clearly see her getting tripped by a DP girl and she is still dribbling the ball (NO TRAVEL) and in the picture you can't even see the out of bounce line- the ball did not go out of bounce.

DP passes the length of the floor to J. Gillett  FLPR girl is all over her back as she trys to catch the ball,  time runs out and  the three BLIND MICE see none of this.

people from Dakota Prairie have pictures at like 4 or 5 different angles and you can see Callie Ericksons with the ball and her standing out of bounds...then you can see her laying on the floor and there would be no possible way the ball could get to the other side withour of going out of bounds...and she wasnt tripped she lost control of the ball and tripped over that..there at least could of been a jump ball

The game is also on video.  While the photographer caught a few frames, the video caught the whole play.  The ball did go out of bounds and so did her foot.  This was after the two photos shown on the website you directed everyone too.  After she picked the ball up, for the second time, she crawled on her knees to roll the ball to the shooter.  The ball was rolled to the right of the defender which on the video, shows it out of bounds again.  The referee is not even looking at the play in the photos or on the video.  While I agree with the previous posters regarding adjustment to referees, the teams from District 3 come to the regionals after playing an entire season of physical basketball.  Entirely different than their northern counterpart.  To be fair, neither team should have to adjust.  If the referees were from another region entirely, or the standard was set prior to the tournament, both teams should not have to adjust.  The three referee system has created a problem, the problem being none of the referees wants to make the call or they do not know who should make the call.  If they want a three ref system, have the 3rd ref stationary and have him or her confer with referees after a controversial call is made.  Or add a replay system like they have in football.  It's hard to argue with the facts.

If the refs don't know who should make the call then they are bad refs. I'm pretty sure that each ref has a certain area that they are suppose to be watching. Not all 3 refs watch the ball.

one picture cannot tell the whole story of the particular play in question.  Only video could tell what the right call should have been.  No matter what, it's over guys/gals, & we can't change what happened.

So correct, nothing can be done about it now.  We can only hope the Basketball Association reviews and sets standards across the state.  Watched the Regional Boys games in Devils Lake last night.  The refereeing at the tournament in Devils Lake has been fair and most importantly consistant.  The fans are able to enjoy the game.

is the video on the internet or where did you find it?

The video is on DVD and has not been posted on the net.  Quite simply, the season is over, the calls were made, the jerseys are packed away, and it's on to a new season next year!  All we can hope is that the players, refs, coaches, fans, and ND Basketball Assoc. all seek to better themselves during the off season.  It will only make a great sport, played by great kids, more exciting to watch.
