A QUESTION FROM
Terrence S.
Jennings-does anyone
know the answer? Is 46 foul shots taken by one team in a game a record?
1979 Unionville HS vs. Pottsgrove HS at
Ursinus
College
The answer-NO
Ref’s stole game,
ended Unionville’s 23 game winning streak as the only undefeated team in PA
at that time.
Unionville took only 16 fouls shots, two Pottsgrove players
took more fouls shots (18 each) than entire Unionville team. The Pottsgrove
team took 46 foul shots and still needed 3 OT’s to stop Unionville handing
the team it’s first loss of the season 57-59. Is that the records for fouls
shots taken by one team in a PA high school game?
If not is 46 foul shots’ a record for one team in district one playoffs?
Editor's note: we don't know
the answer, but in a 1957 playoff game in District 9, St. Mary's vs
Johnsonburg, I shot 21 foul shots myself in a winning effort over
Johnsonburg in regulation time. As a team, St. Mary's shot 40 foul shots
and won the game 55-50. Bill Gaffey, pahoops.org editor
