NCS #1 Campolindo Hosts #5 Miramonte, or…. The Night The Lights Went Out In Moraga

[kiddman32]

Battle for first place in league, too….

This rivalry is already great enough, but the extra incentives turn this one into a potential classic…

Only common-opponent situation I can find is Northgate. Campo hung on to beat the Broncos a couple nights ago, and Mira lost to the Uglies in a close one.

Anyway…. Cougs frosh are up 23-17 at the half.

 

[kiddman32]

Cougfrosh got the W, 41-31.

Bennett hits a 3 to start the quarter…. And the lights go out in the gym.

 

[kiddman32]

power outage in the neighborhood…. contacting p g&e

 

[kiddman32]

PG&E estimate is…. Several hours.

So, right now, the game is suspended at about 7:45 to go in the irst half. That Bennett 3-pointer *should* count;The ball went thru and hit the floor just before the gym went dark.

That would make it 14-11.
MM, MM’s ball on their own end.

They’ve cleared the gym, and we are to decide what happens in some 30 minutes.

 

[kiddman32]

I hear sirens, quite a few of them…. I’m guessing a light pole and at least one car have bitten the dust…

 

[concrete17]

K -man get everybody in the gym to turn on the flashlight on their smartphones and light up the gym floor......
..........and if that fails, maybe lead the fans in a round of Neil Diamond's Sweet Caroline while swaying their lit phones over their heads.
Make basketball history Bubby 🏴‍☠️

 

[observer22]

I hear sirens, quite a few of them…. I’m guessing a light pole and at least one car have bitten the dust…

That’s too bad. I hope they can resume within a reasonable time frame.

 

[kiddman32]

Lights are still out…. They’ll decide in about an hour what to do. Only players, coaches, staff allowed if the game does resume tonight. PG&E estimate is still 10:30 to get the power back.

If the game somehow resumes tonight, I am not allowed in for it…

So, I’m hopefully gonna be able to wind my way outahere.
