Had two hours of scrimmages on Saturday morning, girls varsity. To set the stage, there are two gyms, the main gym and an auxillary gym with bleachers on one side that are about 6 benches high. We're in the AUX gym. We're playing 22 minute halves, running clock, FTs on shooting fouls only.
The second hour featured a 4A team that won back to back state championships two years ago and a 2A team that's been to the state finals twice in the past 4 years but didn't win. Being different classifications, these teams never play in the regular season. But from the second we tossed it up, it was ON! The bleachers were full, fans were into it, players were going after it like you wouldn't believe. The Main gym emptied, as everyone but the two teams that were scimmaging in there came to our gym, as they heard all the noise. The atmosphere was unbelievable. It was like a third round playoff. I even had to separate two girls who had squared off.
Good times!
