7 points in a championship game....7 dang points?!

[stripes2255]

I had never officiated a game where at halftime, I didn't even grab a towel to wipe my forehead of sweat, until now!!!

I was one of the fortunate/unfortunate officials of this game that ended as the lowest scoring game in Oregon State Championship history. I was the lead official during the second quarter and didn't leave from there until approximately 6 seconds left in the quarter. The Springfield coach asked me at one point in time what I thought about it, in which I said "I just don't want to stiffen up just standing here".

Funny one about this is that my partner about 5 minutes into the second quarter asked the ball handler at the mid court area if she had dribbled yet or not because he wasn't quite sure after that amount of elapsed time.

One hour and two minute game and I think I blew my whistle a total of 11 times all game, just an approximate. The tournament director asked if we would like to donate our game check back or at least at a reduced rate, jokingly of course!
