bainsey It's one of the few times the general populous gets into a sub-varsity game, and it's wonderful for everyone. Except for the varsity officials who grumble about a late start. 😀
Welpe I officiate for moments like that and if there's a tough block/charge call to be had, I want that call! Glad you enjoyed the moment, they make up for the ugly blowouts in the practice gym with 5 fans in the stands.
refiator Snaqwells wroteI still remember my first such game, and that's when the fever really completely set in. Same here...and the fever continues to grow even after LOTS of years. 🙂
BktBallRef My favorite thing about such situations is that the fans, players and coaches are going wild. But there are three guys who are calm, cool and collected. 🙂

VaTerp Good play, good partners, good atmosphere. Any 1 of the 3 makes it worth it. Any 2 of the 3 and its almost like stealing money. Cheers to more nights with 2 or 3 of 3.

JRutledge stiffler3492 wrote...of what big time varsity ball would be like. Sophomore boys prelim game last night, close all the way throughout. Big rivalry, and as my game went on, people were arriving early for the varsity game. By the end of regulation, the gym was PACKED. Of course, overtime. That was fine by me though, great atmosphere. The band was playing, students were getting rowdy (in a good way), visitors had a chance to win at the last second. Don't know if I've ever had more fun at a game before. Send me a PM and let me know where you were. Peace

RSturgell I had the same oppurtunity last night. Boys JV game w/ very good JV teams and good varsity teams. Very fast paced from the jump. Tie game towards the end and partner calls a block, basket counted, puts visiting team up 2. FT was made, home team ends up losing. Very exciting game to be a part of. One of the perks though as well is getting to watch the varsity game. Good stuff indeed.
