Perham upgraded their facilities a few years back and they added shot clocks, which made some waves online - almost like they were taking a shot directly at the MSHSL. They are a big basketball town.
Most states don't use a shot clock

The very next season Marshall had a rematch with Waseca in the section Final and Marshall won in what was generally considered an upset.
My daughter was on both of those Marshall teams. The idea by Coach Westby to slow the game down was a good one. It didn't really go as planned for a variety of reasons, including Waseca's refusal to pressure Marshall and play defense. I know a lot of Waseca fans were mad, but the reality is Waseca was willing to play the stall game too. They never came out and forced the action. We had played Waseca earlier and they were a bit more atletic than us in that game and so the idea to shorten the game made sense.
In addition, Marshall didn't ececute the game play perfect either. The idea was to hold the bal and try to get Waseca out of position and get some easy layups. Waseca didn't allow that and Marshall didn't capitalize the couple of times early that we had layup opportunities.
Anyway, it is a great rivalry between the schools in almost every sport that continues today. Overall the two best athletic schools in the Big South with many epic battles in various sports that are well documented. Same this year expected.
The win over Waseca the next year (2019) was epic. IRONICALLY, in 2019, Marshall got up by about 8-10 points middle of the second half. Marshall went into stall mode and Waseca didn't pressure or foul to extend the game. They allowed us to run off 45 seconds on about 6 possessions in a row until time started getting too late! The same plan worked the next year. We made enough free throws that the game was never in doubt. The IRONY is something most don't know about.

I have no knowledge of it, but it appears to be built similarly to a parking ramp. Which would allow the support of all the weight. As for the grass, is it field turf?

I thought of that and zoomed in, on the image to try to determine if it was turf, but couldn't really tell. I would make sense to use turf on the roof of a building.

Interesting. Is it a hot topic for debate elsewhere as well? Seems to come up in conversation about once a year, near the playoffs.
As of today, only eight states have a shot clock in high school basketball:
California
Maryland
Massachusetts
New York
North Dakota
Rhode Island
South Dakota
Washington
A few states have toyed with the idea of it, before walking the idea back. The NFHS (National Federation of High Schools) has repeatedly rejected the implementation of a nation-wide shot clock rule.

FWIW, our games aginst Sioux Falls schools , both boys and girls, are typically much lower scoring. Part of that is 36 minute games vs 40 minute games, but the reality is the shot clock does not speed up play. If anything my personal experiences says it slows it down.

Marshall always plays the Sioux Falls schools in basketball. Both boys and girls. The shot clock changes the game. Mixed opinions here. SD also uses quarters still instead of halves. That actually affects the game more in my opinion.
