I had a great game....I got to work (girls) Mater Dei vs. Jefferson (Oregon's defending 5A state champs). That was a real treat. Great ball (a lot closer game than anyone expected...the lead was down to 6 midway through the 4th before Mater Dei stomped on the accelerator and put it away), great coaches, great crowd. That was a ball of fun and even though I work more boys ball than girls, I'd take that game any day.
Fast forward a couple of days....
Sitting at home one afternoon with a game schedule at 7:45pm. When an unexpected snowstorm hits. The site is normally about 40-45 minutes away. My partner and I plan to leave early to account for the weather. He leaves his house at 4:45 to pick me up (normally 5 minutes away) and makes it to my house at 5:10. We hit the road. After a long and torturous journey, we roll into the gym at....
8:25-8:30...halftime!!
The guys who worked the first half were not even scheduled for the game before...they were there from earlier having worked for others who never even made it. We would have let them finish it but they were ready to go after having been there all day.
Second have went fast (not a great game).....in the door and out in about 35 minutes......then another 2.5 hours home.
Over 6 hours of dirve time for 2 quarters of ball....ouch.
