It was grueling, it was frustrating, and it had us on the edges of our seats. Last night’s game between the Washington Hackers and the Usaru Maestros broke the record for the longest game in biotiball history. In the ninth overtime period after a whopping 91 minutes [Citadel Standard] of game time, the Maestros finally put away the winning basket to end it 79-77. Said Maestros forward Tyra T’Sanis, “Both sides were exhausted, and that’s when you let the fresh girls play defense. It was all we could do to keep that ball afloat.” Hackers coach Jerome Manning still thinks his team came out winners. “We took it to the Maestros on their home ground and we had them tied,” he said proudly. “Our players are 20, 30-years-old, up against players who’ve been in biotiball since the sport was founded, and we still gave the fans a show to remember.” The Hackers go on to play the New Orleans Loa next week, while the Maestros face the Seattle Sorcerers in the semifinals.
