TIME OF DAY IN COLLEGE CORNER, INDIANA:

Most of Indiana, including Union County, is in the Eastern Time Zone (EST). Since 2006, Indiana has observed daylight savings times (DST) throughout the state. However, for many years prior to 2006, most of Indiana, including Union County, did not observe daylight savings time. This meant that when daylight savings time was in effect that the time in College Corner, Indiana (EST) was an hour behind the time in College Corner, Ohio (EDST).

THE UNION COUNTY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL GYMNASIUM:

The Indiana-Ohio state line runs down the middle of the 80-year-old school gymnasium. Before daylight savings time was adopted, this meant that it was possible to launch a long shot from the Indiana side of the basketball court and it wouldn’t come down on the other side of the court until an hour later.

During a basketball game, a single player in a single game can score points in both Indiana and Ohio.
