I was just happy no one got hurt!! I did find out that the visiting team does not use HS 'certified" officials, but parents or rec league refs who are not a part of the local association. Apparently, due to the whinning by the coach, they are accustomed to a more physical style of play. Also, the phrase "your player initiated the contact" is unknown to the coach, players or fans.
As for the number of fouls, I know both teams hit the double bonus in the 1st qtr, the visitors hit it in the 3rd and the home team 1/2 thru the 4th. So that is 40. Visitors fouled alot in 4th to get back into it. I am pretty sure we didnt make a "down and back" without a whistle in the overtime.
I will say that there were NOT very many turnovers!! Also, our game started a little before 7, my wifes game started about 7:45 and when I went back to change after the game she had left me a message saying she was leaving her school and asking if I could put a load of laundry in before she got home!!!
