Yeah, that was some great scheming by Cov Cath on how to slow Lloyd's role. So back in late June when the schedule was about to come out, Coach Thelen and the AD got together and realized that they needed to come up with a plan in case Lloyd jumped out to a big lead in the basketball game that was scheduled for 6 months away. So they decided that they needed to tell the school's 100 Year Celebration Committee to schedule their big 100yr Celebration basketball reunion night at the Lloyd game. And in addition to that, the AD called and made sure that Jostens would wait until January right before the Lloyd game to send Cov Cath all the rings for the Cross Country, Indoor Track, and Outdoor Track state championships so then they could invite all of those athletes and their parents to the game too. Then, all they needed to do was wait for 6 months to hatch their plan. And then it happened, once the house was packed in the Cov Cath gym and the moment was right, just like they suspected, Lloyd went on a scoring run. So Coach Thelen looked over at the AD and gave him the hi sign, and at just the right moment the AD came rushing over to the scorer's table and had the game stopped to make all the spectators standing behind the baselines and in the aisles of the bleachers go find a seat....and just like that, their big plan worked, and they forced Lloyd's hot streak to go cold.

^ Obviously that's a bunch of Oscar Mayer super thick cut bologna.

But seriously, don't try and act like the AD stopping the game when he did was anything planned against Lloyd's basketball team.

The gym was absolutely packed on Friday. It was honestly probably beyond capacity, and the AD went over and had the game paused immediately after Athens McGillis went up for a layup on a set play and scored Cov Cath's 4th point. Momentum carried McGillis and at least one of Lloyd's defenders out of bounds after the ball dropped through the basket, and they almost took out a small army of girls that were standing at the baseline because the stands were filled to the point that there were already people sitting on the stairs in the top 4 or 5 rows of the aisles. The place was so full that once they moved all of the non-seated fans into the alumni center, there were so many that they literally had to stand on chairs and tables up there just to be able to see through the mezzanine openings to watch the game going own down below in the gym.

The AD was just doing his job as the AD and keeping things safe for the fans and players, both. Nothing malicious.

Hey your right, I said I liked it. It needed to be done 100%. That place was insane. And if that elaborate plan you drew up is what they did they should keep doing it I love it.
