NEW BASKETBALL RULES REMINDER:
This is a reminder for all high school basketball fans that the rules regarding fouls and free throws has changed. Effective for this season and moving forward, there will no longer be a 1 and 1 free throw for bonus. The new rule states starting with the 5th foul of each quarter, the team will shoot 2 free throws. This is in effect for both high school and middle school basketball games.
