My mistake. It wasn't 3 games. It was 4. When we arrived, the JV coach met us at the door. We're gonna play boys and girls JV games. Is that ok?
Well........ We negotiated it down to 10 minute halves for the JV's. Wait, theres more. JV boys play first, and go into overtime. Swell. Under a minute in overtime, it's still tied. Visitors shooting free throws. I said "Fellas, I honestly don't care who wins, but I want somebody to." He missed both.
Home goes down and scores 2. Visitors turn it over. Home has it with less than 15 seconds. Visitors steal and have a 2 on none. But, V1 misses the layup. V2 all alone for the follow. He tries to stuff it in, misses and does a chin-up on the rim. Easy T. Meanwhile home has an injured player. While he is helped off, V coach asks in the most meek voice you ever heard, "You're not gonna let that decide the game?" I realized he meant the T.
"Coach, you know he can't do that." He had the open palms thing going. "But not to decide the game." But the drama was not over. H1 missed both shots on the T. H inbounds. Another quick foul. H2 shooting 1&1 with 1.6 on the clock. He misses the front end, V1 rebounds, and H3 came close to fouling him.

But look at all the fun we had.
