Had a middle school girls game this week that was 2-2 with 2:00 left in the THIRD quarter. There was a late offensive explosion and we ended up with a 10-6 final. The first two baskets were scored early in the 1st, and I had to waive off a FT because the shooter immediately entered the lane (it's Feb, people - you haven't learned yet?). We were afraid at halftime that failure to go to 3-2 would end up in OT!
Unfortunately they weren't running a stall offense. More like the 'run around, turn it over, wrestle around, and not hit the broad side of a barn' offense. |
Right before Christmas, I officiated a CYO JV Girls #3 game (4th graders with possibly a couple of third graders). Our score after 3 quarters was 0-0, but it wasn't from lack of trying. A lot of missed shots, turnovers, and an occasional violation was the norm, similar to scrounge's game.
During the break before the fourth quarter, I told my partner that the first team to score would win. Sure enough, the home team scored a minute and a half into the final quarter, and they held on for a 2-1 victory.
