10U Boys
Worked a 10U Boys Rec. League playoff doubleheader last Friday. Final combined scores of the two games?
112-5.
That's right, 112-5.
It was awful. Coaches were arguing with each others, fans getting into it with each other. A complete nightmare. It wasn't like they were violating the rules or anything, the only specific rule was no press except the final 2 minutes of each half, and only with a lead less than 20. Other than that, everything is normal NFHS rules. Both winning teams just ran the fast break constantly and with no slow down. I was pretty disgusted with the coaches of the winning teams. The rationale they gave for running up the score like that? "We're from a disadvantaged environment and have to prove ourselves this way."
Just a horrible display of sportsmanship IMO.
