Well, I worked the game last night and guess what? My assigned partner had to cancel and I worked with someone else. It was the first time we've ever worked together. We got along OK.
Remember, this was 5th grade girls. In the first three minutes, we had six held balls. I thought maybe this league had a 30 second held ball clock.
After that, I asked the scorer to keep track of all the held balls, just for fun. At the end of the game, she told me there were 33. It seemed like even more than that.
Oh yeah - the final score was V17-H9. The best part was that there was no griping from either coach, except one time the home coach thought we had the possession arrow going the wrong way. He was wrong, of course.
Funny part - during a dead ball, one of the girls requested a timeout, then asked me if it was a full or 30.
