Unreal. That is like watching Loyola Marymount with Bo Kimble and Hank Gathers. I mean trememndous effort. Of course no D but why be so old school. Looks like the paying folks got their money's worth. Love for that game to be put on Youtube.

One of the crazier games I ever witnessed. I could not comment on the game because it was moving so fast I would miss something.
 
This score is unbelievable... I actually thought for some reason this was a basketball score until I saw someone say Western Albermarle "season ended at 9-2"

HOW IS THIS EVEN POSSIBLE TO HAVE THIS SCORE? I'm dumbfounded.
