So tell me who were the two teams?
I may know them or coaches...

Blue was Brighton and White was Bingham. I am told that Brighton is from Salt Lake and that Bingham is from South Jordan. That must be one heck of a league over there because both of these teams had strong kids that could play through contact. Bingham whipped the Northern Nevada defending regional champs by 20 on Sunday (I did that game, too.) Brighton beat two good Northern Nevada teams. In the semi-final they took out last years regular season division champions and before that they defeated a school which is moving up to the 4A for the first time after winning the 3A North 3 of the past 4 years.
The only other UT team that I saw was Olympus. They have a 6-9 kid who will play D1. They lost to Bingham in the other semi-final by 4. The Bingham kids told me that they were happy to win because Olympus (from the Salt Lake area) had beaten them twice at previous tournaments.
All three of these teams would have been a threat to win the Nevada State Title last year as Las Vegas had a down year.
I hope to see some UT teams in Vegas in July.
For the record, sorry to JR for my post being somewhat confusing. cingram deciphered it nicely. I did, in fact, believe that B45's last foul in the 3rd quarter, which was correctly reported by my partner and should have been recorded as his fourth, incorrectly went to B5 in the book. It was this foul that I changed.
We were fortunate that no player was allowed to play when he shouldn't have been in (which might have happened had B45 fouled BEFORE B5 in the 4th quarter) and that B5 only had to sit 2 minutes before B45 fouled causing me to understand the error.
If B45 had fouled later in the game, the time B5 missed would have been greater and probably would have had an impact on the outcome; and if B45 hadn't fouled at all for the rest of the game, I certainly would not have caught the mistake and B5 would have finished the game on the bench. Looking back, it could have been much worse.
