I guess we probably still played some games with them after the sixties but I was out of HS and didn't keep up.

Thornridge had a reputation for being a very nice school.

Perhaps when it opened. It is a cesspool now.

The 1971-72 season was my first year as a basketball official so I know the rules for the "Ancient Times". I graduated from high school in 1969 so I played under the rules of the "Ancient Times".

Well I have officiated both schools at home and away games over the years. I had Thornridge just last season on the road. I have been to Quincy several times over the years. Both great places to work, but nothing like Quincy High School's gym.

Rut - have you ever worked any Bloom HS games either at home or on the road?

Yes I have. Worked an All-Star game there once.

I think this is the first time you've ever made me laugh out loud Mark.
