Okay, so I was watching a high school basketball game the other night, and it got me thinking – how long is each quarter, actually? I mean, I know it’s not the same as college or the NBA, but I couldn’t remember the exact length. So, I decided to do a little digging.
Start My Research
First, I grabbed my phone and opened up Google. Just typed in “high school basketball quarter length”. You know, the usual. The first few results were pretty clear, but I always like to double-check.
Confirm the Answer
I clicked on a couple of different websites – mostly sports websites and some school pages. I figured those would be the most reliable. It seemed a little consistent.
- I confirmed the general answer.
- I checked the websites.
Get the Result
Turns out, each quarter in high school basketball is 8 minutes long. Yep, eight. Not seven, not ten, but eight. It’s shorter than college and NBA games, which makes sense, they are student, right? Anyway, mystery solved! Now I know, and so do you.
