Winner in 100-0 girls game wants forfeit , , , or , or ??? I pick " ". Dude. At least get ONE EFFIN' POINT, coach. Who was on that losing team, Luther Head?
Poor girls. Some have dyslexia. They were probably thinking, "Hell yeah we got this game in the BAG!" Until their coach tells them whose got 100. D'OH!
How do you get shut out in basketball. How do you go winless in 4 seasons? I would say it's the big school beating up on the little school but the Covenant school only has about 90 people total in the high school part or the school (they're K-12). They're both TAPPS 2A schools. They need to recruit and give scholarships or tuition waivers to a handful of athletes.
LOL, We pinned 138 (138-47) on a team in a league I played in years back. The league organizer had a meeting with us and told us if we did it again we would be given a forfeit loss. I think I have the video somewhere around the house.
My wife was on an intramural team that got shut out. They had 4 players on the court but were allowed to play. Their opponent, I think, was the eventual champion. And, they full-court pressed all game, despite having an extra player over their opponent. My wife's team forfeited at half-time.
this obviously wasn't very sporting of the winning team, but people always act like the losing team in blowouts (or running up the score games) is gonna go home and blow their brains out or have miserable lives from this point forward. it's a basketball game between 2A girls' schools and they got their asses kicked for 40 minutes (or however long a girls' high school game is). so what? they'll go home, hang out with their friends and forget it happened in no time. i don't like losing in anything but when i know i have no chance i don't get all depressed afterwards. besides, if you're gonna beat me 100-0, at least let me keep whatever dignity i may have left. don't pity and patronize me after and try to give me the victory by forfeit. like it somehow means the asswhooping didn't happen. let me take my beating like a man (or dallas academy girl in this case). i like to believe in sports teaching bigger things about life. and while it can sometimes be about teaching you to do the right thing, it can sometimes be about teaching you that from time to time life will kick your ass 100-0 style.
I know the moral of this story is to have some dignity, but had I been on the losing end of that game, and the opponent was still full court pressing in the fourth quarter, I think I would find myself "accidentally" throwing laser passes directly in the defender's faces until they decided that winning by 100 points wasn't worth their entire team getting their noses broken.
I agree. Maybe some body bumps, some forearms to the gut or something. Nothing overly dirty...just a "hey, you're winning, chill out" message. Of course, girls don't seem to have those aggressive tendencies for the most part..
If I were coaching the losing team...I would have had one girl throw the inbounds pass directly to the other team...while the other four stood on the baseline and cheered their every goal. Taken all the fun out of it for them.
that's exactly what i was thinking! Running up the score is one thing, but then to add insult to injury, they come out with these syrupy apologies such as "we're so sorry, it probably wasn't very christ-like." give me a break! let the other school deal with it how they want to deal with it.
To my knowledge, they have not cheated or had players on performance enhancing drugs since I've been following them. Any other such instances in the past were considered part of the league's culture at the time, as the old AFL was struggling to compete with its older brother, shall we say there were certain "liberties" taken by many of the players when it came to following the rules.
