re: Ever been part of a sports team (h.s. and above) that was completely drubbed in a game?

freshman high school basketball for sure. Most f the guys on that team didn't make it in the program. I was one of the lucky ones who made it. Varsity - only game we ever got blown out was against Deer Park - we were both undefeated in district and they beat our arse that game. Played them much tighter at their place later but they had three or four guys who went on to play college ball. We had none.

Joe went to school in Little Rock. You're thinking of Jarius Wright who also played at Arkansas and a few seasons in the NFL.

But to the OP, we hosted Alma Arkansas in 1993. I believe they were fresh of a state title the season before and we lost to them on the road by a FG.

We talked all week long about getting our revenge on them and were ready to kill them at kickoff. Before haltime, they had pulled their starters and went the rest of the game with 2nd and 3rd teamers.

The final score was 47-0, but could have been 147-0 if they had wanted it to be.

Just saw your post from earlier, lol, Ridley was a beast. I'm good friends with the guy that played qb for them along with Ridley and have gotten to meet him several times. Last time I seen him was almost 2 years ago at a funeral, the guy was still solid as ever and looked ready to go play.

I played at Union Academy, graduated in 98, what about you?

Y’all had a badass blonde chic basketball player.

Worst beating I've ever experienced was when I was playing Junior High Football. We played a team from around the Haughton area, I think it was Green Oaks or something like that. Linemen were twice our size and some of them had beards. I was 165 LBS soaking wet, played DE and got mauled. The running back was like 200 pounds and we looked like kids trying to tackle their dad in a backyard football game. Mom almost made me quit football after that due to me being a walking bruise.

Not drubbed but my first basketball preseason game was hilarious. I was one of maybe 3 freshman who got taken along and the hour long bus ride was mostly the coaches and upperclassmen gasing everyone up about how good we were and how this school from this little town we were visiting didn’t belong on the court with us.

We got fricking clapped by like 20. Ended up having a great season and making the playoffs but it was funny how the ride back was those same coaches doing the opposite telling us how much we sucked.

Grew up in Louisiana. Was on a really strong club soccer team that hadn't lost in a while. We were putting beat downs on other Louisiana teams.

Went to a tournament in Houston, lost first game to a completely Hispanic team like 12-0.

Humbling AF. We thought we were going into to Houston to win that tournament and went 0-2, total goal differential like 2-21.

Green Oaks is in MLK/Cooper Rd. area of Shreveport.

Junior year for basketball we got our asses kicked by 45. They pressed the entire game until the last second. Took our arse whipping and moved on. It was early in the season and we didn't have 2 of our 7 main guys b/c of football, not that it would have mattered but we probably don't get our arse kicked that bad with them. Didn't complain that they pressed the whole game, nor did our coach to them during or after the game.


Following year we played them again and we were a much better team just from 1 year of growing up. we were up 42 going into the 4th quarter and had been pressing the whole time. Coach was going to sit the starters and i said i'd prefer we stay in for the first few minutes and make sure we win by 50+, and that I want to keep pressing. I could see the look on his face when i said it, one of joy in that none of us forgot what they did to us the year before. Being a catholic school, we probably should have been better and not continue to run up the score, but frick that. Karma is a bitch. We won by 61. Their coach complained to our coach after the game when we were shaking hands and coach just simply said "i don't recall you calling off the dogs last year when you kicked our arse".



On the other end of that, we won 4 state championships in baseball in row. The first round playoff game all 4 years we would beat the other team 30something-0. We couldn't even resort to bunting in most of them as they couldn't even get us out bunting. We had all the backups in by the 2nd inning and we were having to bat opposite handed . And this was well before the split. 1 seed vs the 32 seed, and they were always really really bad.
