HC,
I think we said the same thing, just a different way. "Boys don't take well to getting stomped" and "they seem to fight through being down big" is more or less along the same lines. I tried to tap dance around what you hit right on the head. There are good and bad with both genders. But I clearly enjoy how quickly the girls bounce back. It refreshing.

As for Mark Padgett's comment about a "no press" version of the mercy rule: We have that with the youger grades. You can't run out the clock beacuse the 10 second rule is still in effect. An in the last minute of games, on dead ball in-bounds, the clock does not start until the ball get across halfcourt.

Having two young girls, I would hope that the future would not include any for of a mercy rule in girls high school. And don't worry, I won't sue!
