Girls Open…. Mitty takes on Etiwanda.

[kiddman32]

Hm, seems familiar…

Nationally-ranked powerhouses meet again!

Mitty, ranked 5th nationally and Etiwanda, ranked 6th.

Third time in a row that this has been the Open state title game, and the only two times these two have met during the MaxPreps era.

 

[kiddman32]

I picked Mitty to get the win this time, 1-point choice…. basically a pick’em.

Saw the Monarchs play then-undefeated Clovis West in the NorCal final, came away VERY impressed! They seem to have gotten things together bigtime since the injury to megastar McKenna Woliczco.

Meanwhile, Etiwanda knocked off national #1 Ontario Christian and the amazing Kaleena Smith on Tuesday, after having lost to that rival twice during the season.

This is one helluva matchup!!

 

[kiddman32]

Not often you get to see two top-10 national teams meet up, unless of course it’s the CIF open girls game!

 

[kiddman32]

9-7 Etiwanda, 3:05 left 3rd.

 

[kiddman32]

12-7 now, Mitty takes a 30. 2:39 left 1st.

 

[kiddman32]

Cosgroff drive, score…. and 1. 12-10.

 

[GBBall4L]

Sounds like it's gonna be a good one.

 

[northbaybbguru]

On the broadcast talking about for the 1st time ever ALL FEMALE refs for all the girls games. Dumbest crap ever!

How about just put THE BEST REFS ON THE GAMES regardless of sex.

Not a fan... just put the best refs on the games...cmon 🤷

 

[kiddman32]

19-12 Etiwanda after a Puff Morris score…

 

[kiddman32]

19-15 Etiwanda after eight minutes.

 

[kiddman32]

I get your point re: the female refs, but anytime there is ANY kind of “first”, it’s gonna get mentioned.

 

[GBBall4L]

I get your point re: the female refs, but anytime there is ANY kind of “first”, it’s gonna get mentioned.

Not a big deal they mentioned it. Not unless they blow a bunch of calls in the game.

 

[northbaybbguru]

I get your point re: the female refs, but anytime there is ANY kind of “first”, it’s gonna get mentioned.

These games are too important to force all females or males only on games. Just put the best refs out there.

 

[kiddman32]

Another Mitty time out…. Etiwanda looks wayyyyyy too fast right now. 25-16.

 

[kiddman32]

Aaryn Finley is torching the Monarchs…. has 14.

 

[kiddman32]

Mitty gets back within 6…. 30-24. Ze’ni Patterson with the last two scores.

 

[kiddman32]

3:16 left in the half.

Patterson’s en fuego…. NBA 3 makes it 32-27.

Mitty gets a stop, foul…. Cook makes a pair for Mitty. 32-29.

McCathy gets it to 32-31…

 

[kiddman32]

Etiwanda bomb shot…. Phillips. 35-31…

GREAT pass by Morris for a layup…. 37-31. Buzzer…

 

[kiddman32]

Etiwanda is scorching the nets at 55%…

4/11 from the arc.

 

[kiddman32]

Mitty is 10/34. That won’t get it done…

2/7 from the arc.

 

[northbaybbguru]

17-2 mitty freethrow advantage? Is that correct?

Etiwanda has the best big and guard?

If I didn't know better I might think...

 

[northbaybbguru]

"Sue's crew" going to work..

 

[kiddman32]

Etiwanda is putting on a clinic out there…

 

[kiddman32]

ft’s…. Mitty 9 of 17, Etiwanda 2 of 5.

 

[northbaybbguru]

The refs can give them the calls but the Mitty players got to make the fts...the disparity on the line is the only thing keeping the game reasonable

 

[kiddman32]

61-44 after 3 q’s.

I see some are already bashing Sue Palmer.

She can’t shoot, rebound, run, defend for her kids.

Etiwanda is playing great, that’s all there is to it.

 

[kiddman32]

Morris has 12 and 7 assists
Finley has 19
Rice has 13

On the Mitty side:

Patterson has 14, Hunter has 10 and 7 rebounds.

 

[kiddman32]

Etiwanda is shooting 60.9 percent.. amazing!

 

[kiddman32]

Mitty is just under 30%.

 

[kiddman32]

Mitty with a mini-run.. 63-52.

 

[kiddman32]

TV time out…. 67-52, 3:43 left.

 

[kiddman32]

75-59 final…. Etiwanda was flat-out AWESOME, Baybeeeee….

 

[northbaybbguru]

Wow! 3peat! VERY impressive!!!

 

[northbaybbguru]

Mitty just not good enough against the big Dawgs from the South. They may need to poach some more players from the other NorCal schools.

Watch your back Piedmont and SRV!

 

[oakath]

Super impressed w/Mitty. W/o their best player and unable to shoot, kept the game close and respectable. Fun up and down game. I'm guessing Mitty shot 20 for 80. Didn't see any numbers the whole game. Am I close?

 

[ClayK]

Two losses in Texas will keep Etiwanda from national title.

That officiating crew worked two of our games -- just excellent. But the real question is why men work women's games but no women work men's games. There are two aspects:

1) If the women are good enough to work a girls' game, why aren't they good enough to work a men's game?

2) If they're not good enough, then why do the girls get them? Shouldn't the girls have the same quality of officiating as the boys? If CIF is saying female officials aren't qualified for boys' state games, then they shouldn't be working girls' games.

The most important factor of the game yesterday was the referees. These women
Who referred the game would not let the
Young women play the game. This is not the
Same competition that these women knew in the 80s and 90s. These athletes are not to
Be protected on every bump and push.
They now play the game a very different way.
They use tools that the referees could not imagine. Their bodies and movement patterns
Are so much more advanced. As a team the referees were the greatest impact on the competition.

 

[ClayK]

What? What game were you watching?

 

[becoolpt55]

The one you weren’t

 

[WivitBear]

My guess is their are more men referees than women referees. just as their are more men players than women players. Refs come from previous players.
