I'll agree....it was pretty comical. Line judge makes a call standing 4 feet from where the ball came down and 2 guys in the stands 50 feet away start going ballistic. Thought the ref was probably going to toss them. Kind of surprised he didn't.

The line judges in tournament are officials, not volunteers.

From my viewpoint, 2nd row from the top in the middle, it was a close call and could have went either way. If the Up official thinks the line judge missed the call, they can over-rule the line judge and call it as they had seen it. Or a replay.
Now, we should really talk about the 'missed' 4 contact on OG's side of the net not even 5 seconds before the line call. Hypothetically speaking, if the UP official called the 4 contacts, the game would have been over already. Let's also say, hypothetically, that the line judge called it in and it made the score 14-14. At that point, there is still atleast 2 points to be had to win the game on either side of the net.
OG was up 23-22 in the 4th game but lost 25-23. Missed opportunity?
Let's also discuss for whatever reason, the OG coaches DID NOT shake hands with ANY of the LCC players. When the OG Head Coach got to LCC's head coach, she repeatedly yelled at him about the line call then turned away without shaking his hand. Sportsmanship?

Are you dense?
If it wasn't for the missed 4 contacts by OG on the decisive point, the potentially missed call by the line judge would have never happened. So, explain to us how only LCC "has to have the line judges win their games" and OG "works for their wins" while both teams benefited from missed calls on that point (with OG's coming first, mind you)?
Furthermore, to imply that OG players work harder for their wins than LCC's was even more moronic than your comment about line judges winning the game for LCC.
And finally, each and every school has obnoxious fans. Usually, the better you are the more you have because you simply have more fans in general. If you watch any LCC-OG basketball game you'd see this on display very clearly, from both sides mind you. However, coaches need to be above that. They are responsible for setting the tone for their team and setting an example. Not shaking hands, no matter how you lost, is simply inexcusable. It doesn't mean the coach is a bad person, but that she simply made an obvious error in judgment. To even argue otherwise would be asinine.

Maybe this a member of the famed OG posse, lol. That would surely explain the thought process, or lack thereof, behind that post.

The coach should be the one to show the sportsmanship first, before any parent, fan, player. Yelling at the coach for a call made by an official (volunteer or paid) is uncalled for and not shaking any of the players hands then slapping the coaches hand as she yelled at him really teaches the kids how to act correctly. In or out (good or bad) learn how to be a good loser. In life you will have more letdowns and worse let downs than a call in a regular season game at any level.
OG had multiple oppurtunities to finish off LCC, and couldn't do it, so to be that upset about one call is crazy!! They had to win one of three games and didn't end of story, so to blame a whole match on one point?? Sorry you have nothing to complain about, even if it is the last point of the match.

Exactly, especially when the point in question had a non-call that went in favor of OG before the line call that went in favor of LCC.
But like you said, OG had plenty of chances. They completely dominated LCC the first two games before letting up and losing the last three. Maybe their coach was so upset because she failed to make any adjustments, motivational or tactical, that would have resulted in a win.
As an LCC fan, I don't think they played particularly well at any point, but it was encouraging to see them fight back and grind out a victory. It's easy to play hard when things are going right, but it says a lot about a team that continues to fight while things aren't going right.

Also, if you're going to bring up every "non-call", lets go back to 5-4 in the 5th game. OG hits a ball from 4 feet off the net. It's OBVIOUS to everyone in the gym...INCLUDING THE LCC GIRL AT THE NET.....that she touched it....but the up judge didn't see it, even though it was 3 feet in front of him. He looks to the line judge....who is comically doing some kind of little dance down at the corner of the court to conveniently make it look like he didn't see anything. He shrugs his shoulders with an "I have no idea" look and the point goes to LCC making it 6-4 instead of 5-5. Couple that with the last point and OG wins 15-13.
If you're going to throw stones.......they're going to come back at you just as hard fellas.

All of this just goes to show that both teams benefit from non-calls throughout a game, regardless of the sport and where it's played. To even try to blame officials for a loss is just a way of not taking responsibility for the fact that you blew many opportunities to win the game. I'd venture to say that each team had about 20x more unforced errors that cost them points than bad calls. If you're a good team, or coach, that's where you focus your attention because you realize every needed opportunity was there to be taken advantage of.
And if I recall, it was you who came on here and blamed the officials first, and another OG parent/fan who then gave the LCC girls no credit and stated that only OG's girls work hard for their wins. Like you said, if you're going to throw stones, you better take cover, especially when they are based on such fallacies as blaming officials for losses and bashing the other team.

But at the end of the day, and this goes for all sports, not just volleyball, but there were no less than 201 points in that 5 game set last night. If you are going to boil the game down to a missed call here or there, then it's just silly. There were lots, and lot of opportunities for both teams to win each game. And if you are on here complaining, please sign up at your local high school to line judge, I'm sure they need all the help they can get.

Bingo. Like I said, I'm sure each team had 20x more unforced errors that cost them points in comparison to calls that cost them points.
And like you said, all good programs have passionate fan bases that will undoubtedly act as fools at times (after all, the word itself is short for fanatic). This obviously applies to LCC and OG. One trip to a boys basketball game will put this on full display. Heck, I was one of them crazies when we lost to them in Districts a couple years back, lol. But I would have been equally as foolish as these OG posters if I tried to blame the loss on the blown charge call on an LCC and-one with one minute left
