Re: OT: High school girls basketball team wins 100-0 How 'bout my girl Cheryl- High school career Miller played at Riverside Polytechnic High School (1978–1982) where she was a four-year letter winner and led her team to a 132-4 record. She was awarded the Dial Award for the national high-school scholar-athlete of the year in 1981. She was the first player, male or female, to be named an All-American by Parade magazine four times. Averaging 32.8 points and 15.0 rebounds a game, Miller was Street & Smith's national High School Player of the Year in both 1981 and 1982. During her senior year she scored 105 points in a game against Norte Vista High School. Cheryl Miller is the shit! Went to high school with my aunts in Riverside.
Re: OT: High school girls basketball team wins 100-0 Fixed. Who cares about professional womens basketball, let alone high school. Edit: Not to mention how classless it is to run up the score. Edit: Especially against a school that 'specializes in teaching students struggling with "learning differences"'
Re: OT: High school girls basketball team wins 100-0 Blowouts are hard to gage in terms of should the winning team "back off" and where is the fine line of still competing hard and going over the limit with the game on the line. I have no problems with the 3 pointers but full court press, c'mon..you'll get more practice out of a full court in practice than against a weak opponent.
Re: OT: High school girls basketball team wins 100-0 I'm the kind of player that would've given a stiff foul to one of them for showboating like that. I understand the thinking that if the one team didn't suck so bad, they wouldn't have lost 100-0, but there comes a point where winning just to win big, is poor sportsmanship (unless it happens to the Lakers). And when it's 59-0 at half, as the losing team I'd be embarrassed both that my team didn't score a single point, but that we didn't make a stand against them for whupping up on us. I wouldn't want them to stop, because in a way I'd feel worse about that, but I would've at least fouled someone hard and gone Jerryd Bayless on their asses. Of course, there's a lot more to life than losing 100-0 in basketball (or winning 100-0), so I commend the losing team for making this a learning situation...although you can still have a learning situation with a fore-arm-shiv.
Re: OT: High school girls basketball team wins 100-0 Just on Tuesday, a visiting team beat our team 102-1 in junior girls high school basketball. Our girls team didn't get a shot off and got a free-throw point off of a free throw from a foul.
Re: OT: High school girls basketball team wins 100-0 You should have pulled a "Juwanna Mann" helped the team out.
Re: OT: High school girls basketball team wins 100-0 They are bad luck! That's why the Mavs got their asses kicked by the Bucks!
Re: OT: High school girls basketball team wins 100-0 It's fascinating that someone would use the word "classless" in a post like this.
Re: OT: High school girls basketball team wins 100-0 This is ridiculous. There is no reason for them to forfeit the game. You continue to play the game as long as there is time on the clock. It's not the team's fault that the other team didn't show up to play.
Re: OT: High school girls basketball team wins 100-0 I blame the refs. Give them some pity fouls and foul shots! Greg Oden gets three, four fouls a game for breathing on a guy or extending his arm out.
Lisa Leslie scored 101 points against my HS team...in a half! My HS team forfeited the 2nd half...lol
I was a ref in a blowout game like that years ago and had to call the game because the losing team took the approach Julius suggested by starting to foul hard (it was when I overheard their coach telling their players to keep fouling and foul harder). THAT is poor sportsmanship. Doing your best isn't. Lately is has become the cool thing to do in the US... back off because you don't want to hurt their feelers... but come on... how is having pity more respectful? Personally... I don't get it. It wasn't like that 10 years ago. Now they don't even keep score in some youth sports so everyone can go home a winner. Where's the motivation to improve then?
