As an official working that game I would have been a little hot under the collar....

Makes you wish NFHS would introduce a blowout rule, where the clock runs when you're up by 20+ points...cuz I'm sure that wasn't pretty.

Montana has implemented a mercy rule this year. Up by 40 in the 2nd half and the clock runs unless there is a time out, injury or Technical. It has been used a few times but I have not been part of that yet.

Looking back on my playing career, I don't recall the score of a single game played, nor do I recall any win-loss records. I do recall the friendships that I've made, and maintained. Some of those friendships go back 25 years. These girls 20 years from now might remember and laugh about a 100-0 loss, but it will likely be as a side conversation discussing parenting techniques, career moves, etc. Just my 2 cents.

If you convert to centigrade, the score is a much more pallatable 37.7 to -17.7

Coffee spewage after reading this!

We have one league that has a running clock when a team is up by 30+ but only for lower-level games

I love that the coach says "it just happened"...100pts do not "just happen"....

At a girl’s basketball game, it just happened. You have to be pretty bad to not score a point.

What's the big deal? In the fourth quarter, they outscored the other team by only 12.

I'm sure if there was a broadcaster there, he would have made some typical moronic comment like, "the game was a lot closer than the score indicated".

One of my most memorable games from last year:

Girls JV. School A are visitors and have a typical JV squad in the area. School B has 5 girls to start. One kid who is an athlete and some skills, others all look like first year players. School B's basketball program is in shambles, but has new varsity coach who has come in committed to making the program better.

It hasn't 'taken' yet, though, and this is towards end of the season. Nobody in the stands... Anyways, Team B is getting beaten pretty badly from the outset. Can't handle pressure, lots of easy basket for visitors. But the girls are playing hard, especially on defense!

Halftime comes, and visitors are probably up 40-3 or somesuch. Team B's best player has racked up 4 fouls. Partner and I know this, but even then, she clobbers a Team A player and we have to call the foul. She is gone, and now home team has 4 girls, and is getting 'slaughtered'.

So what happens? These girls kinda go crazy with effort the rest of the way. They had to be tired, and had every right to be discouraged, but played HARD for the remainder of the game. Maybe 65-5 by the end.

It made a very lasting impression on me. Very impressive.

The Covenant School fired its girls basketball coach Sunday, the same day he posted a message on a youth basketball Web site saying he disagreed with school officials who had publicly apologized for the team's 100-0 victory over Dallas Academy.

In reporting the firing, Kyle Queal, Covenant's head of school, emphasized that former coach Micah Grimes "now only represents himself" when discussing the game, which has become a national talking point. Queal said he could not say whether the firing was a direct result of the posting and declined to answer any questions.

Wow, unusual. Good for them!

At least the coach has his "integrity!"

There's a story on ESPN about it now.
