...but...but... they let up the last 4 minutes once they got that 'safe' 100-0 lead

that's unfortunate. As an alum of a private high school its very disappointing to see that sort of lack of sportsmanship - pressuring the ball until late in the 4th quarter in this sort of blowout is really low.

thats terrible how a team would run the score up that high. shows lack of respect responsibility and sportsmanship absolutley disgustin. they should've let them score at least and stop trying at 30-0

You would think just by chance you would be able to throw up a shot and hit it just once in an entire game.

I think that is the worst part. After halftime they should have taken off the pressure and put in the backups.

No ****. When you are up 80 f'n points, you quit putting pressure on the ball. Stealing it when you're up 80 is Bush League if you're a player too. If I was one of the girls, I'da laid the point guard out flat and if I was a spectator, wouldn't have been mad to see it. We got beat 26-5 in baseball my senior year by Eagle Grove (they hit everything either to the gap, or over the fence) and their coach had them going station to station at 20-3. If they'da been trying to take all their bases, I wouldn't have felt bad at all calling for chin music, or asking to pitch and taking care of it. There's absolutely no reason in any high school sports to cream a team that bad.

(beating Eagle Grove 3-1 in the return game tasted sweet though

)

I happened to see a youth girl's league game in Ankeny a couple of weeks ago in which a bit older team kept up the pressure by stealing the ball continuously. Allowing one shot and fast breaking. The younger of the teams had no chance.. Final score was 54 - 0 .. It was painful to see for the losing team although the winning team's coach should have been aware of what was happening and called off the defense. That kind of sportsmanship sucks..

people like that dont earn respect from that they lose it

**cyson** · 01-22-2009, 07:34 PM

Good christian values at work. absolutely pathetic.

The coach should have been suspended if not terminated. There is absolutely no excuse for something so ridiculous.

Unfortunately this happens all too often in youth athletics. Coaches have starters in ball games when they are up by 30-40 points, running the press, etc. All the while, the reserves are left sitting on the bench until less than a minute in the game when they call time-out to let them in... which is really to give the starters an applause.

I'm all for competition, playing hard and so forth, but when it is a total mismatch - show some class, sportsmanship, character and do all you can to basically not score. Stall, whatever.

30 points is one thing - 60 points is absurd.

Sorry for the rant... I just get disgusted when I see this stuff going on.
