Trail calls BC. I am lead and from what I see, I agree. At half time, Center official tell us that there had to be control in the front court to have a BC call.

I don't think so, touched in FC by home team, even though she was in the air. Tapped to BC and caught by Home, BC.

Thoughts?

I believe the C would have been correct last year, by a strict reading of the rules (but not according to expressed intent from the NFHS.)
