Parker v. Carver Boys Basketball Game Ends in Crazy Score

Ever seen a basketball game with a final score that would be surprising even for a football game? Fans who attended the Parker v. Carver boys basketball game on Feb. 10 in Alabama can say they have. With the game-winning, last-second shot by Parker senior Keith Body, the Bison won by a score of 6-4 to advance in the Class 5A, Area 10 tournament finals. Many people say the game should be used as an argument for a shot clock in AHSAA basketball. “Stall-ball,” the term for holding the basketball as long as possible without scoring to beat the opponent at the very end of the game, seemed to be the tactic Parker employed to advance.
