Wildcats Suffer a Tough Loss due to a Bad Call by the Referee
A toughly contested game where the lead exchange between teams was never more than 4 points. Wilson Wildcats were up 56 to 55 with 17 seconds, and poised to win. Wildcat Isaiah Espinoza set himself in the perfect position to take a charge and end the game, but instead the referee incomprehensibly calls him for blocking, counts Covina's basket, and give sends Covina's player to the free throw line, putting Covina up by 2. On the subsequent play Wilson tries to take the lead, but misses it's 3 pointer, and the referees make another unfavorable call against the Wildcats. Tyler Kam is called for a foul on an offensive rebound that should have been a jump ball. Instead Covina is back on the free throw line and the Wildcats fate is sealed.
