Overtime!!!

I know that is a bad word to some, but I was glad to see it. Both teams were good sports and played hard. At least ONE of the coaches was a good sport. LOL. It was a shame that one team had to lose.
Close games and overtime improve you as a referee. Any tough call is magnified.

Don't you notice how fast they go by?
