The way I look at this is why would an opposing coach continue a game for 4 quarters while getting drummed like that? Pikeville's coach pulled his starters in the first quarter. If I had been the opposing coach, I would have thrown in the towel after the first quarter was over.
Again, You can't tell a child not to play up to his best ability.
The coach of the team being thumped should have called it a game after the first quarter. Nothing positive for either team could come from continuing the contest............
Sometimes life happens. The winning coach backed off the defense and called off the attack very early. The losing team has one positive - they were only outscored 30-2 in the second half. Two positives, actually - They SCORED in the second half. And are we really having this discussion about MIDDLE SCHOOL teams??
I guess if you wanted to get picky ms pemberley we are discussion sportsmanship as well as adults in youth sports. We are not discussing particular athletes ont he teams just the fact a team lost 100-2.
wow... "we're not as good as you, so we quit"??? Come on.
Did you say Clintwood shoulda got back on the bus at halftime down at Grayson???
If you don't want a blowout, put in a rule that ends the game when the lead gets to X... otherwise, shut the #^&* up and keep your nose out of it, SB.
typical Yahoo trash. Too bad they didn't actually take 10 minutes yest. morning & contact the Super. Oh, wait... that would have been RESPONSIBLE reporting.

Was Phil Robbins coaching that team? ;)
It had to suck to be on the loosing end of that game, but come on, the kids that put up 100 points in a middle school game should be proud as heck! Its very rare to see 100 scored in highschool or college, and it wasnt all the starters that done it! thats amazing IMO
