How does one score 31 points while ‘running down the clock’ anyway?

Assuming a 24 second shot clock, and 12 or 15 minute quarters (assuming the teams played 4 quarters and not two half's) I'd say they certainly ran down the shot clock and under-scored on the other school. Look at it this way:
- 24 second shot clock
- 12 minute quarters (typical for high school)

That's 30 posessions per quarter

It appears to me they under-scored, scoring on only every other posession.

I’m not sure any more how I feel about this. Lots of perspectives.
