The Walker High School girls basketball team (35-0) lost 64-63 on a last second shot from beyond half court in OT in the LHSAA semifinal game. They were up by as many as 17 points.

Ouch. I'd rather lose by 30 than by last second halfcourt heave.

Also, did the shooter pick up her dribble and run like 3 steps before shooting?

It looked odd in that angle, with a defender cutting in front of the camera shot. I saw another view and there didn’t look to be any extra steps.

Parkway outscored Walker 19-4 in the 4Q to force OT.

Walker hasn't won a state title since 1977, and never in the highest classification. They've been a perennial contender for the last decade or so, yet never gotten over the final hump. This year's team had 4 seniors going on to play college basketball. Losing like that in a game they led wire-to-wire after an undefeated season confirms that they're just cursed. This loss will forever define their program.

It stands for South Bossier.
SOBO is Parkway and NOBO is Airline.

Parkway actually received a technical foul at the beginning of the game because of the illegal uniform, 2 shot technical foul plus possession. The uniform has to have the school name, mascot or nickname of the school. Another penalty was that the coach couldn't stand to coach the team, she had to sit the entire time, I've never heard of that before.

It was also SportsCenters #1 top 10 play.

My mom coached 8th grade girl’s basketball for a few years in late 80’s even though she didn’t know much about sport (she was new PE teacher and nobody else wanted to coach).

In her last (3rd) year coaching, her team was dominant winning every game by 20+. There weren’t any playoffs but the last game was on road against a decent but lesser team. That team came from behind and won on a half court shot at buzzer.

Judice over LJ Alleman in 1990 or so.

That's because it's never really enforced.

I see all kinds of illegal jerseys for basketball all of the time.

Nobody ever cares. I'd be willing to bet someone pointed it out to the refs and they were obligated to enforce it.

that has to be an awesome feeling to hit that shot. on the flip side, the girl that missed that free throw has to be sick.

She missed two free throws on that trip to the line.

The Walker coach was known to run the score up on opponents and press while being up 30-40-50 points.

Yep. Not a fan of their coach at all. I have some other first-hand things about him, but I'll leave that alone on this forum..
