One night when I was still officiating in DC I was scheduled to do the Varsity girls contest, but arrived early. The jv game was close so I was watching it. At the start of the fourth quarter the home team had a 10 point lead and I when to the lockerroom to get ready. Well it turned out that my partner and I were in that lockerroom for quite a while. We kept saying, "Isn't that game over yet?" It turns out that not only did the visiting team come back to tie the game and force an extra period, but they had multiple players foul out and even were forced to play most of the overtime with only three players. Despite that they WON the game!
BTW a guy I know who used to coach at a very small school told me that his team once won a game with only ONE player remaining!
