bucket every minute in the second half

Sounds about right to me. Assuming that they used the entire shot clock, and scored more or less every time (not at all a ridiculous assumption, assuming that the team likely rebounded at will, as well). I don't know what the shot clock is for HS....figure 35-45 sec...actually, this score sounds about right if the game was total mismatch.

Actually, throwing out the first 3 minutes where the team put up a 25-zip lead, figures out to 75 points in 29 minutes, or just slightly better than a basket a minute.

We're all speculating a bit without a video. But if a team is attacking the ballhandler as she crosses midcourt and quickly converting layups, the math suggest much more scoring is possible than 75 points in 25 minutes. There is a variance between the two coaches accounts. Grimes said he pulled back into a 2-3 after 3 minutes, but the opposing coach Civello was quoted in the Dallas paper as saying:

"They are really good," Civello said. "Their point guard is terrific. This is what it came down to in the second half: steal at half court and layup. Steal and layup. Steal and layup. It was a layup drill. They finally eased up when they got to 100 with about four minutes left." Covenant's point guard had 48 points.

2-3 zone or attacking at midcourt? A video would be nice.
