Prentice High School basketball

How long are the half’s? As I recall when I was in high school we played four quarters but I see on the scoreboard a 2 as in 2 halves. That’s a lot of points for a high school team to put up.

They play 15 minutes, take a 15 minute break and then play 15 more minutes. From tipoff to buzzer it’s about 90 minutes. Yes 100 points is a lot for 30 minutes playtime. Compare that to four 12 minute quarters in the NBA.

Thanks for the info, yep that’s a lot of points in 30 minutes.

I just checked and halves are 18 minutes so it’s 36 minutes of play. Another home game tonight then one on the road.

They won again yesterday. They were ahead by 50 points midway through the second half so they used the mercy rule and let the clock run out with minimal play. It’s not that we are super good it’s more like the other teams are super bad.

I sure hope the team is getting some looks by college recruiters. That’s pretty amazing to score like that

They play a 1979 Lakers “showtime” pace.

They won again last night and play again on the road Friday. Eight of us in our group are going and I expect a few dozen others as the game is just and hour away. They are 10-2 with both losses close and the victories blowouts.
