Like most girls basketball games, including WNBA games, there is no cameraman there or a journalists present to report the outcome, so someone had to alert the media. Does the winning coach call the local newspaper to report their great victory, or perhaps a proud parent? Then I thought well maybe it was someone from the losing team that wanted to report the abuse they just suffered. So I opened the article, trying to find a quote from the losing coach to see his/her reaction to the game. I didn't find one, but I found some facts that were much more interesting/disturbing.
- The losing team has 20 girls in the entire school, and 8 of them are on the team
- They have been winless over the last 4 seasons
- "An assistant coach were cheering wildly as their team edged closer to 100 points"
- The winning coach "told the coach of the losing team how much [he] admired their girls for continuing to compete against all odds"
- The played full-court press and were shooting 3's in the fourth quarter.
- The losing school "specializes in teaching students struggling with learning differences".
People think I'm heartless but I could never pull this off.

Wow...Wow. And people sometimes give college football coaches a hard time for running up the score, when it can actually help their chances.
Amazing. And a Christian Academy on top of that. That is so pathetic.
