I'm in the record books

Well, at least the game will be.
I lined a regional high school championship game Saturday, and the refs were Paul Rigby and Stu Lewis.
The Grand Rapids Catholic Central Cougars were heavily favored over the Mattawan Wildcats. Six overtimes, 86 minutes and 55 seconds later, Mattawan lost 4-3.
According to the Michigan High School Athletic Association record books, the longest game before Saturday's was the Davison vs. Port Huron Northern game on March 2, 1991, that lasted 86 minutes and 49 seconds.
An interesting note, another record-holding game is the Feb. 28. 1989 game between Kalamazoo Loy Norrix and Kalamazoo Central. After 72:19, Loy Norrix won 3-2.
