The officials need to learn how to officiate before they let someone get killed.

Its obvious he has zero basketball skills. A truly disgusting display by the player, his coach, and the oblivious officials working the game. One can only hope somebody at the state office address this nonsense immediately.

I agree. This "player's" actions are not fair to the other kids who are interested in playing a basketball game.

When thinking about the duties of the officials, which is why we are here, who cares what grade he is in and what his primary duties are? In this game, and I'm sure others, he is a nuisance and should have been eliminated from the contest in one way or the other.

So Chseagle, are these officials "veterans" in your area? In your opinion, how to they rate in their association. Ladies and gentlemen, for their area, these may be top officials. Sad but possibly true.

Similar fouls by the other team has been mentioned as a possibility. So? Even if the other team committed the exact same fouls the fact still remains that very little was done to properly officiate this game.

I am not being biased, as like I stated White 34 should NOT be playing at all. Why he is being allowed to play I can only speculate that his family are boosters, financially.

I am not going to throw people underneath buses, so I am not going to comment on officials within the local associations that provide services.

The final score of the game was 38-37 in favor of Connell. If I remember the standings right that was Connell's 1st win of the season after playing in 5 previous games.

Both schools are classified as 1A schools (208-521 students)

Connell's student count is: 391

Highland's student count is: 274

Not all the 1A schools in the WIAA District that Connell & Highland are in can field C squads, & Highland only has Boys' & Girls' JV & V Squads for basketball. Connell's only 1 of 2-3 1A schools that has all squads.

Just out of curiosity, how does Washington classify schools 1-207 students?

Minimum security, mostly for first time offenders

Thanks for the idea as there is a Minimum/Medium Correctional Facility in Connell.

Washington doesn't really use a set number system...they go by percentages of schools. Each classification should have 17% of the schools in the state, so the numbers for a 1A or 2A school change a little every 2 years when they reclassify.

So basically, we have 1B, 2B, 1A, 2A, 3A, and 4A schools. 1B runs up to about 90 kids. 2B goes up to around 200, 1A goes up to about 500, 2A goes to about 800, 3A to about 1100, and 4A is anything above that. (numbers are approximations)

Here's the WIAA breakdown:

1B: 0-92 (62 schools)
2B: 93-207 (62 schools)
1A: 208-512 (65 schools)
2A: 513-1085 (64 schools)
3A: 1086-1303 (67 schools)
4A: 1304+ (66 schools)

4.0.0 CLASSIFICATION OF SCHOOLS
4.1.0 DATES FOR CLASSIFICATION OF HIGH SCHOOLS - All high schools are to be classified according to enrollment in grades 10-12. (Schools new to the Association will take the average of their estimated enrollment for their first two years.)
4.1.1 The P-223 enrollment figures as sent to the Office of State Superintendent of Public Instruction will be used for classification purposes.
4.1.2 A school’s classification is determined by the average monthly enrollment from January 1 through May 1, October 1 and twice the November 1 count of odd-numbered years and will be the basis for classification for the next two years.
4.1.3 The responsibility for investigating enrollment figures lies with the WIAA Executive Board and this may be invoked by any member school with the support of four (4) other member schools.
4.2.0 HIGH SCHOOL CLASSIFICATIONS - High schools shall be classified as “4A”, “3A”, “2A”, “1A”, “2B” and "1B". Every four (4) years the enrollment parameters for each classification shall be adjusted to promote more equitable distribution in the number of schools. "4A", "3A", "2A", "1A", 17% of the total schools based on 10-12 enrollment from the top down (largest to smallest). The parameters for distribution for the "2B" and "1B" classification shall be 16% of the remaining schools per classification.
4.2.1 In four-year high schools (grades 9-10-11-12), any students who are repeating the 9th grade shall be counted in the school's 10-12 WIAA enrollment figures for that year even though, academically, the school may not consider them sophomores.
4.2.2 School districts with a single high school and a separate, approved alternative school(s), as reported on district P-223 enrollment forms, must assign their students for WIAA Classification Head-count purposes to the high school in which the students would normally be enrolled provided that the alternative school(s) is not a separate member of the WIAA with a
demonstrated two year history of participation in the same number of WIAA sanctioned activities as other WIAA member schools of the same enrollment.
4.2.3 Students must be counted in their school of residence unless they are enrolled in a separately established member school. Member schools in this situation must attempt to gain league affiliation and demonstrate a two (2) year history of participation in the number of WIAA sanctioned activities comparable to other WIAA member schools of the same enrollment.

The WIAA is getting ready to do re-classifications for 2012-2014.
