Thumbs up OT - rec league play pays off

Last night, our local HS girls varsity team beat an in-conference opponent 60-15 to go 11-0 in conference play. In fact, they shut the other team out in the first quarter and allowed only two points in the third! I wasn't at the game, but saw the story and box score in the paper this morning. Why am I mentioning it? I recognized some of the girl's names and remembered they started playing in 3rd grade in our local kids rec league of which I've been a Board member for more than 15 years. Maybe a couple of the girls will get basketball scholarships to college.

Any of you guys ever had a HS varsity game in which a team didn't score at all in a quarter? That's gotta be unusual.

It's not that unusual, unfortunately, on the girls side around here. We had a game finish 59-6 a few weeks ago (and I have the losing team tomorrow).

Last Friday night. 30 - 0 at end of first quarter. Team B HC - heck only coach - sat on bench leaning back and never said a word. During a TO he quietly spoke/coached the girls. UGLY!

Last week in the third quarter GV a team never scored, fouled plenty though! I hope you can keep your focus Rich! If you're lucky both teams will be evenly matched. Blow outs in Girls games gets to be like torture sometimes, especially JV, the losers can get highly emotional. Last week in a girls JV blow out in the fourth quarter, I called a blocking foul on a girl from the losing team for basically accidentally tackling her opponent. (H1 tripped as she was heading toward the ball handler and knocked the dribbler flat.) I whistle the foul as H1 is plowing through her opponent. H1 stays on the ground face down, loudly sobbing, her fiith foul too. She's not moving at all so I beckon the coach. Partner and I go out to center court. I tell him, she's not hurt, she's embarrassed from tripping. (This same girl broke into tears earlier when she took off for the wrong rim and I whistled her for over and back.) Sure enough, a minute later she's up and walking back to the bench. Next night's game she runs like a young gazelle.

The first time these two teams played, it was 88-30. So, well, ...

The team that scored 88? It was their only conference win (so far) this season. The home team is 1-18 and they won a nonconference game 60-12 against a team I've also seen this season.

Had a 9th grade boys game earlier this season (we run 16-minute halves here in MN rather then 8-minute quarters).
At one point in early (first 5 minutes or so) in the first half, the visiting team lead 6-4.

The visiting team ended up losing by a final score of 60-6.

That's right, the home team went on a 54-point run to close out the game.

Which, in the quarter system, means that the visitors didn't score for over 3 quarters.

What do I win?

No, closer to where I live. I'll send you a PM. They scored 7 points in a game last week, BTW. So 2 games with single digits this year...

72-3 with a running clock the whole second half. A lucky shot when the player was falling over or it would have been 72-1. The second game was better. 46-10.

Also had a 51-8 game which was 32-0 at one point. Again, the running clock rule was our friend.

Game I had earlier this year...

Quote from the local paper...
Jesuit (17-1, 4-1) took control from the opening tip -- pounding the offensive boards and holding Beaverton (16-3, 4-1) to two field goals in the first half -- and cruised to a convincing 62-45 win
...
Beaverton didn't make a field goal in the first quarter and was 2 for 18 from the field in the first half as the Crusaders forced them into 12 turnovers and several rushed shots.
And this was #1 in the state vs. #5 in the state (girls). Obviously, from the score, Beaverton got it going a bit better after the half, but the first half was difficult to overcome.

OK - let the "that's one of your best?" jokes begin.
