This has got to be the worst hosing by officials I have ever seen in my entire life. I was living in Terre Haute at the time and me and a buddy drove down to the Hatchet House for the game. Sullivan had an All Star that year by the name of Maria Stockberger. Bedford was a powerhouse back then and the Sullivan girls were really good.
Bedford trailed by one point with seconds remaining and a gal by the name of Marla Trout shot one from the left wing and missed. The horn sounded, the Sullivan girls ran to the center of the floor to celebrate, and the Sullivan fans ran out onto the floor to celebrate with them.
About two seconds after the horn sounded a Bedford player picked up the ball in the lane and puts it in. The referees ran to the scorers bench to confer with the alternate official. About 30 seconds later they blew their whistle and signaled the last shot by Bedford was good. Bedford won the game by one point. The Sullivan fans, players, coaches, etc, had no idea what had just transpired. They were all out on the floor celebrating.
So, the PA announcer made the announcement that the final shot was counted and Bedford had won the game. He asked the Sullivan fans to leave the floor but they refused. About 15 minutes went by and the Sullivan fans were still on the floor, refusing to leave. Police were called in to line up between the Sullivan fans on the floor and the Bedford cheering sections. Finally the Sullivan principal came down and announced on the PA that they had to get off the floor and that they would meet back at the school to see what could be done to resolve this.
It was the worst screwing I have ever seen in my entire life.
