High School Bullies Break Basketball Record

High school star's 113 are points of contention

I have to agree with the coach of the losing team on this one: I'm not impressed with this "record" at all.

High school athletics is about sportsmanship and team play. There's nothing to be gained by beating up on a bad team. It's like the 6' bully beating up the 4'5" guy: yeah you beat him, everyone already knew you could, what exactly did you prove by doing it?

A good coach would adjust his school's schedule so that he was always challenging his team by playing against worthy opponents. Playing against a team that's not even half as good as yours and then trying to claim some kind of accomplishment because you did exactly what everyone knew you could do before the game started is the act of a bully scared of real competition not that of a sportsman.

High school athletics is as much about teaching a kid how to handle defeat gracefully as it is about how to be gracious winner. This coach has gone out of his way to teach his students neither lesson.

The player already had her college guaranteed, so there was nothing riding on the game. This was purely about rubbing the other team's face in their inability to keep up.

Congrats, coach...you taught your players how to be bullies, but taught them nothing else...Too bad they won't know how to handle it later in life when they're getting their butts kicked because now their opponents aren't half their size with half their skill...
