Girls basketball Lincoln Park Academy vs Forest Hill High School District 14-4A semifinals

I don't usually get to shoot a lot of basketball because of being a high school basketball official. This is my 27th year as a basketball official with the East Coast Basketball Officials Association.
I refereed the first semifinals game of the girl’s District 14-4A Fort Pierce Westwood vs Jensen Beach basketball game Thursday night. After my game when I got to my car I decided to go back and shoot some of the second game between Lincoln Park Academy vs Forest Hill High School.
I wanted to play around with a one light setup using a Vivitar 285 flash super clamped to the railings of the bleachers on the baseline and pointed at the top of the three point line. I was shooting on the baseline up in the stands next to the flash and trying to find the sweet spot where the flash didn't overpower the ambient light.
My exposure was ISO: 1250, Shutter: 1/250 and Aperture: F2.8 with an 80-200mm Len.
