Coach says thank you.

I confess Padgett. I passed on a couple of fouls at the very end. Please don't tell anyone. Seriously, has anyone else ever done a 48-1 game?

The coach was lying.

Never had a 48-1 game but I was observing a Varsity Girls game where the final score was 85-0.

Early in my officiating career (I think I was a HS freshman) I did a 7th grade
intramural type game that ended 102 - 1.

This was before the three point goal was introduced.

I remember watching a HS girls conference championship game where the final was like 95-20, and that was after it was 60-5 at the half. The winning team was hellbent on getting to 100, but their AD went over and told the coach to chill it out a bit in the 2nd half.

I had one of these a couple of years ago. Very small, rural school playing an even very smaller school. Rabid hometown crowd. Very lopsided score. Home team decided to run the score up and see if they could reach 100. Unfortunately there was no level-headed AD to reel them back in.

At a time out late in the 4th, when the HT was about 95 points, I said to my partner, "They're not getting to a hundred. We'll "find" a travel if we have to." He agreed. Fortunately the last drive of the game, that could have given them 100, the kid did travel.

I got a quiet "thank you" from the VT coach for that.

(Alright, all you purists can commence flaming me now )

In 1999, our local CYO, in its infinite scheduling wisdom, placed our JV team that was all 4th and 5th graders in a division with a team of all 6th graders. We lost the opener to this all 6th-grade team, 46-0. Oddly, the kids didn't seem bothered by the huge margin at all.

A few years later, I was at a JV girls game where the final score was 88-4. Winning coach was trying to do all she could to keep it from being embarassing -- no press after first quarter, packed-in 2-3zone after half time, and having the center as the point guard while the point guard played the post. We still scored at will.
