Class 1A No. 2 Borden 30, Class 2A No. 7 Lanesville 29 ... or is it?
With 43.4 left, Borden leads 29-25. Borden player misses first free throw and hits the second (30-25). Lanesville's Hadley Crosier buries a three (30-28) at the other end, but scoreboard incorrectly counts it as a two (30-27).
Borden inbounds the ball and player misses a layup; Lanesville gets the rebound.
Lanesville comes down and hits a long two with :06 left and scoreboard corrects the earlier "two" to a three on the shot, making it 30-30, which is what it should have been.
Borden inbounds and time expires with a 30-30 score showing. Officials say, nope. It's 30-29. Ball game over.
Officials check the book before the game and they are known to come to the scorer's table during the game. It's my understanding that scoring errors can be addressed until the officials leave the confines of the court so on something like this, a visit was warranted. Books had it 30-30.
It's a shame the game ended on a controversial note because it was two gritty clubs in a tourney atmosphere in mid-December.
