Record for free throws missed in a prep game?

Helen Keller High?

How is this possible?

 

One mean press.

 

Weren't the Kansas Jayhawks something like 10-30 in the national title game a few years back against Syracuse?

 

I had Conrad McRae in a game in which he went 13-for-27 from the line all by himself. It was evident he'd be a great fit at Syracuse.

 

12-of-30 actually.

Over the Christmas break, I covered a girls game where a team missed 27 free throws. I think they were something like 20-for-47. They also had 35 turnovers.

Wasn't even close to the worst I've ever seen, though.
Few years ago, I covered a private school game where the two teams combined to shoot 89 free throws and commite 85 turnovers. They had 28 turnovers in the first quarter alone.
Team A was 22-for-53 (31 misses, if you don't feel like doing math) from the line. Believe it or not, they still won by a point in overtime. Mainly because Team B had seven players foul out and played the last minute and a half with four players on the court. Team B shot 36 free throws, but I don't know how many they missed. I'd guess 20-something.
I just spent almost 30 minutes trying to find that game story. Gotta love slow Saturdays on the desk.

 

The best boys team in New Jersey -- and Top 5 in the country -- went 17 of 45 from the free throw line today...and won 57-52.

 

I was cleaning my desk and files this week. I was looking at a 3-month old scoresheet of a girls basketball game. One team was 1-11 with free throws, the other team was 4-16. You gotta love girls high school basketball.

 

How the fuck can you suck that much at free throws? Holy shit.

 

reason 12,571 why chicks NEVER should play hoops.

 

No offense, Tomas. but we had a BOYS game friday night that was 23-0 at the end of the first and 43-2 at haftime

 

I've always said I enjoyed watching the average high school girls game than the average high school boys game. It always looked like there was more strategy and fewer me-first mentalities on the floor.
