Exactly. That read-headed kid played at least in 6 quarters, then count both overtimes (which I don't think - correct me if I'm wrong - counts as a quarter).

I've also seen this twice in Elmwood's girls team. A girl played 7 quarter in two games that I saw.

Wahoo,

I understand some of where you are coming from, but:

1. That JV player played 4 quarters of JV action, 3 of varsity and then appeared in both OTs.
2. JJ may be taking on characteristics of his old self, but he's still no where as bad as he was. He's no different from the guard at Ottawa Hills who I've seen this year talk trash, do the same things, etc. but he doesn't get picked on by the officials (from what my uncle says who has been to most of their games). I heard the one official say after halftime to one of our fans that he was purposely watching Jordan and he wasn't going to let him get away with anything. What about the players on the other teams?
3. That crew is VERY good, I'll give that to you; however, you can't single someone out just because of their behavior in past games, years, etc . Each game is a separate contest.

4. I agree we're not the strongest team on the block, but I've watched several good teams this year (Toledo Christian, Ottawa Hills, Eastwood) and I'd say they aren't any bigger overall then we are. They aren't even that strong.

Northview on the otherhand appeared to be much stronger. But I'll take basketball skills over body mass any day. Kenny Penn looks like one of the smallest (size and weight) kids around but he plays bigger than most I've seen.
