Parsons Athletic Chief Says Eby Backed Down
Parsons college athletic chief Philip Young says Cedar Rapids official Moray Eby backed down on a protest seeking a replay of the Parsons Buena Vista basketball game. The Jan 28 Storm Lake finish with a center-line shot gave Buena Vista a 89-67 win as Parsons finished 12-4 and Wartburg looms with Upper Iowa in the conference race. The conference plans a spring meeting to decide if the game should be ruled a tie or a Buena Vista win, with questions centering on the timer’s judgment and officials’ backing.
