Did Madison Prep really need to score 134 points last night?

Madison Prep beat Rosepine 134-32 in a Louisiana high school playoff basketball game last night.
I am almost always on the side of "hey, if you don't want a team to score 134 on you, then do something about it" but I see this differently. Rosepine was 7-22 and only made the playoffs because of a severely flawed playoff system (the word "clusterfrick" comes to mind). I think Madison Prep could have shown a little restraint at some point and maybe worked on their half-court game or something...what are you proving by putting 134 on the board against a team that was put in a spot they shouldn't have been in in the first place?

Well, maybe the system will be fixed now?

I'm not triggered...I just hope the morons responsible for a system that puts all these teams with losing records in the playoffs (principals, LHSAA, and whomever else) see scores like this and realize what they are putting the kids on the losing team through. Those kids didn't ask for a 100 point arse-whipping to cap off a 7-22 season.This post was edited on 2/25/17 at 9:05 am

You must not know much about Louisiana politics... I honestly don't follow it all that closely...but the general premise is that a few principals are angry that a couple of private schools win too much at football, and now everything is a mess and nobody seems to be budging.

true, too many make the playoffs in the small classes just because they want to fill a 32 team bracket...
but on the flip side, it was a 32 minute long basketball game, those kids are just waking up this morning and being kids again. i doubt it will affect them more than their previous losses

Maybe they are trying to prove the point that the playoff system is severely flawed, like you said. And that the team they played shouldn't have been in the playoffs at all

Putting a 100 point beat down on a group of kids is not the way to prove that point.

At the expense of a bunch of other kids? Seems like a dick move and unsportsmanlike.
Posted on 2/25/17 at 9:53 am to LSUGrad9295
Yeesh. So the principals basically want a "participation trophy" invite? Except this one comes with an awesome beat down by a team that actually earned its way there? Sounds like the perfect warm-up for the good team and punch in the mouth for the other.

Tommy Amaker's W.T. Woodson as a senior beat my team Marshall HS both in Falls Church Va. 110 to 30.
When you get beat like that it's bad but it's more of a ho hum type deal. Getting beat on a last second shot after a hard fought game is much worse.

But seriously, the playoff system seems insane. A team that won less than a quarter of their games made the playoffs?
That's asking for incredibly lopsided results. Hopefully this wakes up the people responsible for this mess and they do something to fix this problem. At least the players were high school kids who can actually learn from this instead of being completely devastated.

Yea, but the Rosepine principal will now get to say "our boys basketball team made the playoffs last year for the first time in 5 years, congrats boys! Now, for the letterman jacket patch awards ."

They were obviously practicing their shooting throughout the game.
Posted on 2/25/17 at 10:33 am to LSUGrad9295
I don't have a problem with it.
Posted on 2/25/17 at 10:45 am to LSUGrad9295
Fine with me. Play the whole game on both sides. It is far more insulting to hold back and take it easy. I've been on both sides of those scores. Just play hard the whole time and go home and put it behind you.
Taking it easy was the worst insult imaginable.

I have no problem with the score. I do have a problem with Madison Prep and Southern Lab hanging out in 1A and 2A collecting trophies. They should play up in 5A/Division 1. Unlike Evangel and John Curtis, those two schools are afraid to lose.
