The Cooter coach protested, asked the officials to confirm the score and after a short conference, officials found a discrepancy between scorebooks that couldn't be resolved, declared the (incorrect) official book to be the actual score and moved on. Principia ended up winning the game in overtime. After the game, the MSHSAA reviewed the materials and issued a statement: they determined that a scoring error had occurred, but nothing could be done because the score was final when the referees left the floor.
2-11-11: The scorer must: Compare records with the visiting scorer after each goal, each foul, each charged time-out, and end of each quarter and extra period, notifying the referee at once of any discrepancy. If the mistake cannot be found, the referee must accept the record of the official scorebook, unless he/she has knowledge which permits him/her to decide otherwise. If the discrepancy is in the score and the mistake is not resolved, the referee must accept the progressive team totals of the official scorebook. A bookkeeping mistake may be corrected at any time until the referee approves the final score. The scorebook of the home team must be the official book, unless the referee rules otherwise. The official scorebook must remain at the scorer’s table throughout the game, including all intermissions.
