Mathews playing super hard and aggressive. Altavista got a few easy buckets early but it looks like Mathews has settled in and prevented a lot of the run outs. They are dominating on the glass right now and Altavista can't make anything from the outside.

Wow, great game. Mathews all over the offensive glass. Apparently my stream was about 40 seconds behind.

Altavista scores at the buzzer to win 58-56. Great high school basketball game

Wow that was a ripsnorter. I stepped away from the game for a while in the third quarter and Mathews appeared to be in cruise control, leading 41-28. I then tuned back in just in time to see Altavista hit a three at the buzzer to make it 42-41 heading into the fourth. It was then nip and tuck the rest of the way. As Festivus mentioned, it was kind of funky to see something happen on the screen in absolute silence and then wait for the fan reaction a few seconds later. My delay was only about five seconds as near as I could figure.

Great game but tough day to be a Devils fan. The boys state final will be interesting if it comes down to Altavista vs. Parry McCluer. I will try to juggle the PM/Burton game and the East Rock Class 2 game starting here at 6:00.

I was watching it on Facebook and it wasn't a delay that I could tell. The East Rockingham and KW will be on You Tube. You can get the link through the King William County Public Schools Facebook page.
