I am just listening to the Jerry Springer show on the radio.  One of his topics of discussion today was a recent high school basketball game in Oklahoma.  The newsworthy event of the game was that the Earlsboro HS team beat the Hanna HS team by the score of 112-2

Ouch!

Here is a link from MSNBC.

The discussion on the radio has to do with how the Earlsboro coach could have prevented his team from running up the score so much.  (Putting in third-stringers, passing more, etc.)  It is hard to tell players to play "less hard", but I am surprised that the players on the winning team weren't able to lighten up a little bit once the game got out-of-hand.

I'd imagine that this game would be rough on both teams.  The team that was getting drubbed would understandably feel pretty down, while the winning team might begin to feel bad by running up the score.  At least this event brought some national publicity to a couple of small towns in Oklahoma.
