A must-win basketball game for Mason Creek Middle School’s playoff hopes turned into a rollercoaster of momentum and controversy.

After seeing their lead vanish completely in a tie game, chaos peaked.

The Wolves initiated a fast break, only for a foul to be called against them. Stegall called a timeout and asked what the call was for.

In response, the referee said his player grabbed his arm while dribbling.

The Wolves’ intense, game-changing second attempt was the highest point of the tension and was caught on camera.

Welp! As you can see in the video, the second turn around was not let’s get coffee after the game. 😂😂😂😂.
