Actually, this is a pretty serious basketball league, perhaps too serous. The only "kid friendly" component of the league is that, with the exception of the "varsity" teams, all the players must play in every game.
They keep score. Standings are kept. There's a seeded tournament at the end of the season for "varsity", and "junior varsity A" teams. League champions, and runnerups, move onto the state championship, and the state champion moves on to the New England championship.
And they like to have competent officials work their games, and are willing to pay for such officials. About $40.00 a game for seven minute period "varsity" games, and about $30.00 a game for six minute period "junior varsity" games.
We Catholics take our basketball very seriously, almost as seriously as bingo.
