Had my worst game of the year last night. Girls JV went 92 minutes.

You don't really mean 92 actual game-time minutes, do you? That would mean 15 4-minute overtimes. If the total time to play the games was an hour and a half though, that ain't that bad for girls JV.

15 overtimes is understandable, but why would you play 4 minute OT's for JV?

....because the rule book tells me to?
Rule5-5-1 sez you play 4 x 8 minute quarters in high school.
Rule 5-5-2 sez you play 6 minute quarters for players below the ninth grade-which ain't JV.
Rule 5-7-3 sez each extra period is 4 minutes or half the time of a regulation quarter for non-varsity contests. Regulation quarters in JV are 8 minutes, by rule.
If your schools are playing different OT lengths than 4 minutes, they aren't following the rule book.
