Blondie Posted February 12 Report Share Posted February 12 So Hoffa and I were chatting about a high school senior night game I recently covered and I’m curious about other communities l. its senior night and Billy is injured, has been almost all season. Billy is a senior. In our area Billy goes in for the tip off and the ball gets passed to Billy. Billy then takes a shot and immediately exits the game, to a standing ovation and clapping. the other team then takes the ball and scores two as well to even out the score. Is this a small town/midwest thing or is it done everywhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other night the opposing team had a girl with 999 points as a sophomore. I’m confident if she had even sprained her ankle in the first 2 seconds of the game, our coaches would have let her take a shot to reach 1k. around here that’s just what you do and 1k is a big deal!

Baseball/softball varies depending on their position etc. Volleyball they might serve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured between all of you there would be either some who played or some who have had kids play that might have an answer. Most of the people I know are from the same area as I am so they have seen it done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trytrytry Posted February 13 Report Share Posted February 13 in person I have not seen anything like that. I have seen clips on local news for situations similar yes at the high school level here in the midwest. sometimes Ive seen even the player stat guy who maybe has some form of disability allowed to get in for a single play (both teams in on it) stuff like that.

I’ve never seen it for anyone special needs. I’ve only seen it for someone whose season ended due to injury and on the last game of the regular season. I did see it once for the star player in the final play of the playoff we lost. However, he earned that last play and scored a touchdown by jumping over the other team.

I live in a small town. All the parents of the players mostly know eachother and root for eachother's kids. Nobody wants to see a lesser athlete embarrassed so sometimes participation and sportsmanship carry the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

housepicks Posted February 13 Report Share Posted February 13 If the game is pretty much decided they will be on the floor at the end of the game. Maybe last 90 seconds. Maybe the last 8 seconds. All business up until that point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe last 90 seconds. Maybe the last 8 seconds. All business up until that point. Most of the time it’s at the beginning of the game if it’s an injury shot. That way it can be evened out by the opposing team scoring. what do you mean decided? Aren’t we supposed to foul the other team for the last three minutes in a feeble attempt at trying to gain the lead that I have yet to ever see work??

housepicks Posted February 13 Report Share Posted February 13 The only injury shot I’ve ever heard of is in grammar school and the injury is some sort of mild retardation. Never never ever in HS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
