interesting situation here. Have a feeling the game will stand as it does right now. But if true, I hate it for the Eagleville players.

Only thing to do now is stress to schools how important operating the scoreboard clock is. Sounds as if there were other issues with it during the game. I remember a game a few years back the hosts had a kid at most 12 year old, running it. Same school, different year, around 5-6 points were lost in a game where the final was about 10. Same school, didn't attend this one, but have been told a girls team had around 12 points not put on the board despite the visiting crowd going wild. Can't imagine the refs not correcting this before it got out of hand but that's the story.

Nothing will happen.

CRAZY! Very unfortunate for Eagleville, but I don't see the TSSAA going back and changing the outcome. I can't believe that both Eagleville and Lead's scorebooks didn't caught the free throws!

Once game went into overtime, the overtime will continue. Also know the scoreboard is not official, the score book running score is what counts.

If eagleville was indeed cheated and won in regulation, then tssaa needs to make it right. If not than why have a governing body? No different than if an ineligible player was used in my opinion.

good luck LEAD Academy ill be rooting for ya!

My understanding is it has already been proven that the score at the end of regulation was verified by a third party to have been 76-75. I have no expectations tssaa will change the results. Hopefully the principal at EV will push it. The main hurdle will be what the official book has. The video clearly shows 2 fouls shots being made.

Books were the same it seems, but scoreboard issues were called a distraction to the bookkeepers.

This is a tragedy if the real winning team isn’t allowed to continue on. This is called cheating and should not only be overturned but those running the clock should be barred from further games and the school itself put on probation for this obvious attempt to cheat young men who earned the right to play another game. I’m sure there are seniors on this team that will have their career ended if this is allowed to happen. At the very least LEAD should not be allowed to continue if EV isn’t given the victory
