I was there. I've been doing this since 1993 and I have never seen a shutout before now. The only other time I ever saw one was in junior high, when our girls team won a game 25-0.81-0
Don't think I have ever seen a game where the other team didn't score at all. Wow
Over the years, I have probably officiated over 500 basketball games. Other than little kids game, I have never seen a HS team not score a single point. This is unbelievable. I have seen Carver Girls play this year, they were not very good, but 0 points, WOW!I was there. I've been doing this since 1993 and I have never seen a shutout before now.

It wasn't Central doing anything out of the ordinary. They called the press off midway through the first quarter and never put it back on. Carver had quite a few shots and just couldn't hit anything. One of their girls did make a shot in the second quarter but it was waved off for charging.
Central gave all nine of their players a lot of floor time and just played normal defense for the last 28 1/2 minutes. No one wanted something like this to happen.
I've seen Mount Airy's girls play games where they got up 49-0 and 42-0, but eventually someone for the other team did score.
Their conference standingsI still gotta check out West Stokes, Walkertown, and Atkins. I'm a bit surprised with the year Atkins is having.

I guess North Stokes is behind several mountains and has no signals from any cell service. I know I always hated that trip from Mount Airy. Easier getting to Galax or Carroll Co. ,Va. No wander I never get scores from any school playing at North Stokes.Still Looking: Does anyone from North Stokes High School have cellphone phone service at the High School and if so who is your service provider for that area ?

I had all sorts of trouble even at Galax when I went up there for that Christmas tournament. That's why there were no updates from me on Twitter while I was there. But some carrier must work there, because I saw other people on their phones.I guess North Stokes is behind several mountains and has no signals from any cell service.
