I actually agree with you. Only happened to me twice this season in 55 HS games. But it's funny hearing everyone complain about a 2OT game and we're the only ones that drove over an hour to be there by 6:30PM.

Personally, I'm thrilled with the conferences that play 7 minute quarters in the JV games (some do around here, some don't). Those 4 minutes cut do more to keep us on schedule than anything else ever would. And if they do play OT, they're just playing those 4 minutes anyway.
