High School Basketball Game ends with 5-2 score!!!!!

The scoring was kept way down on purpose, a strategy made possible by the fact that Vermont high schools don't use a shot clock. No player went to the free-throw line as Milton committed five fouls and BFA had one.

BFA took a 5-0 lead and neither team scored in the second half.

"It was the ultimate deliberate stalemate," Milton coach Jim Smith said. "They didn't come out after us and we didn't go in against them."

Smith said the slowdown was implemented because BFA (7-4) has a strong scoring presence, while Milton (2-8) does not. The Milton players believed their best chance to be competitive was to just hold onto the ball.

i'm gonna differ with you on very few HS's using a shot clock, at least in NYS it seems to be the norm.

I'm going to agree with him, but note that it is generally a statewide thing. I would guess that most state high school associations don't have one in the rules.
