I can't remember this ever happening before

[Mark Padgett]

Had two boys HS rec games last night. Both games were "JV" level meaning all the kids were either freshman or sophomores. In the second game, one of the players fouled out in the first quarter! None of his fouls were intentional or flagrant, just sloppy. Three of them were against shooters. He fouled out with about 90 seconds to go in the quarter and these quarters are seven minutes. That means he picked up five fouls in just over five minutes.

Twice I've had kids pick up two T's in the first quarter over the years, but I can't remember a kid ever getting five personals in the first quarter. Virtually any time a time a kid gets two or especially three that early, the coach will sit him down. Not this time, however.

Anyone else ever have this happen?
