20-19. Edison is controlling the boards right now. Man they long and big. Iron Mountain out scored Edison 22-14 in the third and lead the defending champions 41-34 at the end of three. Heck both teams have very few seniors. Look for Edison to Press. First upset of the day.

Pewamo-Westphalia beat Erie-Mason 60-45 in the other semifinal. They started the game on a 19-2 run and looked a lot taller tall tome thern EM. out rebounding them 46-32 including 22 offensive rebounds. They cut the lead to 23-22 but never took the lead as PW regroup and started to pull away from there. They are deeper team and taller team then Iron Mountain but I feel both teams are evenly matched.

They also called a travel on a layup that didn’t look like a travel to me to win the game .
I am so tired of refs deciding games.

What a terrible call by this ref. Iron Mountain had fouls to give , and that ref called a intentional foul. Absolute bull shit

 

[biggunsbob]

Mshaa Michigan your refs are absolute joke Iron Mountain was totally hosed on the last plays of this game by the refs or a ref. You just can’t call a intentional foul in that spot.
Totally disgusting how this game ended.

How Iron Mountain was screwed out of a basketball title be a Ref making it all about him.
