We were having a huge rainstorm and this gym had just been re roofed , tarred, whatever.

Anyhow, a girl slipped and fell. Game mgt came out and wiped, assuming it was sweat from a held ball. (One of thirty held balls in girls jv per quarter). Then it happened again and that's when we realized the roof was leaking.

We had a brief rain delay until the officials and game mgt decided to postpone the game and also reschedule the following varsity game.

The score was tied and we were scheduled for a 1-1 with ~1:30 to go in the 4th quarter. Knowing that the same officials may not be at the resumption, they documented the time on clock, who was at the line, the score, team fouls, etc. so both the books could not be doctored.

After a 2 week rain delay, my girl made both FT's and the other team made a long inbound pass to tie it back up less than 3 seconds later.....

We did win by 2.

And where in Michigan was this game and was this before the knucklehead U.S. judge in Cincinnati made the MichiganHSAA girls play basketball in the Winter?
