What exactly is your definition of running up the score? |
6th grade boys 29-3 at the half. That's running up the score!!
On the winning team, all the boys were taller than all the boys on the other team. All of them. literally.
All the winning players had several years experience, and there were only 8 of them, so they didn't have a third string.
Coach didn't pull his steal, fast break, lay up until after the half-time. And even then, score was 48-7 at the end. And that was with a very bad case of "the travels."
They really didn't gloat, though. And I noticed after the game that every one of the winning players made a point of talking to one of the losers and saying what a good shot, or what a good pass or what a good steal. They did it sincerely. So I forgave them for running up the score.
