Blowouts

[Rich]

I've noticed a lot of them in the paper this season. Winners in the 70s and 80s and losers in the 20s to 40s.

Last night I got to work one. 28-10 after 1, 48-17 at the half, 68-21 after 3, and a final of 78-25. Home team could've put 115 up, but played the end of the bench most of the 2nd and 4th quarters. Amazing how much you run when it's steal, fast break, steal, fast break, wash, rinse, repeat.

Any other place seen a lot of blowout games?

In these situations, I don't wash on every fast break. A quick rinse is usually enough for three or four fast breaks.

We had an 87-3 varsity final around here last week. Glad that wasn't my game.

I agree. Washing on every fast break would really put you through the wringger!

I had a 58-7 last week and the winning team ran 4 corners most of the final quarter.

Girls' varsity team at my HS used to routinely lose 85-5, 90-6, etc. Was never very fun to watch.
