post game basketball nerd stuff

         For the basketball nerds.  As I was savoring last night's  game (Hey I personally have not played in a championship game in 12 years) and pouring over the score sheet,  which  Becky kept meticulously and neatly,  thanks you for that, I observed a couple interesting things.
      Rereading my update it seemed like a lot of free throws were  shot.  Looking at the score sheet,  Maple Grove   shot 26  free throws!!  and what would have been the story of the game only made 15. However looking at Lake Nokomis they shot 32 free throws and made 25 of them.  So Lake Nokomis only made 9  field goals with 3  being  3 pointers,  Maple Grove made  15  field goals with 3  being 3 pointers.
   So in 40 minutes of running time 58  free throws were shot,   41 fouls were called, 20 called on Lake Nokomis, 21 on Maple Grove. (told you it was Physical,  but clean) Great job of officiating.
    Now for the potential  controversy:
  Having a great view of the score board  from my place at the end of the bench, I know  Maple Grove was ahead  by 3 on the score board 49-46 as the last second shot by Lake Nokomis was shot,  However looking at the official  score sheet, it  had the final score as  48-46.  Had that last second shot gone in..... oh baby  would it have counted as  a  tie or win????  TURN THE BASKETBALL BARRISTERS  LOOSE!!!!!
   Have a  great Summer.
