OT - team goes scoreless for a quarter in state playoff game!
 

Unfortunately, it was the girls team from my local HS. The Tigard girls lost their 6A quarterfinal playoff game to Oregon City 66-36 snapping a 19 game win streak. They got outscored in the third quarter 25-0! That was kind of strange because they outscored Oregon City in two of the other three quarters. The Oregon City girls hit 13 threes (out of 25 attempts) in the game including seven of them in that third quarter! The Tigers played a 2-3 zone for almost the entire game and the Pioneers just shot over it.

Congrats to Oregon City, who has now advanced to the state semifinals for the 4th year in a row and their 21st time overall. They are ranked 3rd in the state and have had one of the top girl's programs in the nation over the past 20 years or so.

The reporter who wrote the story for the Portland newspaper has this advice for their next opponent - "Don't play zone". :D

So, what you're saying is, the officials cheated.:D

Reading Between the Lines
 

So what you're saying is, the possibility of going into OT was pretty much removed in the 3rd Qtr, right? ;)

A girls team in VT went scoreless in the state semifinal's fourth quarter a couple nights ago.

Well, one of them looked strangely enough like Tim Donaghy! :eek:

Our Girls State 3A Championships yesterday was won by a state power house 65-39 (they've won four titles in the last ten yrs).

Our local team, which I reffed twice this yr, didn't score in the first quarter and was down by 20 when they finally scored early in the second quarter. A beat down!
