North Dakota used the 3-pt goal starting in the 82-83 season for its Class A division. We were one of the original experimental states.

The NFHS adopted the three-point for the 1987-88 season. It says so on page 16 of the 2002-04 NFHS Basketball Handbook which was published in 2002.

BTW I played with it my freshman year in HS which was the 1989-90 season.

Better watch out - your mandatory retirement age is sneaking up.

Yep, and I don't really mind. I will have had my time and will be ready to pass it on to someone else and take joy in watching them.

A lot easier to say at 32 than it will be at 45.

It was definitely 1987-88 for high school ball - that was my Freshman year.

in fact, my freshman year yearbook has pictures form 1986-87 in it, and you can see the floor did not have the markings on it yet.
