Michigans semi final class C games yesterday at the Breslin Center, no high school 3 point lines, not noticed until after both games, game management scrambled to get new lines down before Class D games. ooopsie!

Some high school football playoff games are played on college fields with more narrow goal posts width. The only adjustments are by the kickers, same as a longer 3 pointer?

NFHS football rules allow for the use of narrower goalposts though if the field has them. Basketball rules don't allow for the longer three point line. Here in MN for most state tourney games if there was no high school line kids would be shooting 3's from the NBA line as most(but not all) state games are played at the Target Center, home of the Timberwolves. A few games are played at Williams Arena and they do put a line down for HS games

I saw that, as one of my fello yooper teams (Houghton) was playing in that game. They lost the game, but actully shot better then the team that beat them from behind the arc.

The girls semis and finals were the week before, I wonder if they had them then. My kids old high school lost in the semis.
Just pulled up the video from class D finals and there is a HS 3 point line.

Pulled up the video for the Class C semi-final and there is no HS 3 point line.

They had 3 point lines, except they were MSU's college 3 point lines there at the Breslin Center.

I heard that when they made a shot from beyond that arc, they counted it for four points instead of three, just to compensate for the additional 12 or whatever inches necessary on the shot.

It was the college lines on the floor. Was never a problem in past years because the womens line has always been the same as the high school line. After the first two games they taped a line on the floor.
