VHSL girls soccer Class 3 state championship:
Ref deems this ball went off the football crossbar after ricocheting off the soccer crossbar, taking away a goal scored by Cave Spring
It very clearly didn't.
Cave Spring would eventually win on PKs

Still find it a bit puzzling #VHSL holds its basketball quarterfinals and semifinals on same day. Girls on Tuesday/Friday and boys on Wednesday/Saturday would seem to make more sense. Led to some tough choices in past when schools had girls, boys teams playing at different sites.

#VHSL Region 2C quarterfinals
No. 7 Gretna 67, No. 2 Martinsville 66
That dude Rayshaun Logan with a stick-back on a missed free throw at the buzzer to deliver the upset for the Hawks against a stout Martinsville squad. What hasn't this kid done in his high school career.
