Montana High School girls basketball team post 102-0 Win

GREAT FALLS, Mont. (AP) — A northeastern Montana high school girls’ basketball team posted a 102-0 shutout of a short-handed opponent last weekend.
Brockton coach Terrence Johnson tells the Great Falls Tribune he usually has nine or 10 girls available, but due to several reasons, only suited up five Friday against the much taller and more experienced Froid-Medicine Lake team. Brockton’s roster included an eighth-grader.
Froid-Medicine Lake, with three players that are at least 6 feet tall, built a 59-0 halftime lead. The game clock ran continuously in the second half.
Coach Lance Brekke said he felt bad for the Brockton players and he doesn’t want to see something like that happen again.
Johnson says his team holds no ill feelings toward their opponents. He says his girls did everything possible to score.LINK

Who are we supposed to feel sorry for?

I just can't fathom how this is possible? If I was the coach of the losing team I would pull my girls off the court. Yes, I'd "Throw The Damn Towel".

That's the correct way to look at it. Yes, it is absolutely humiliating, but these things happen at that level.

Why? Them finishing the game is the ultimate teaching moment. None of those girls are going to be quitters in life, win or lose.

How many of those girls were actually guys that said they felt like they were chicks?

I wouldn't want them to be quitters as much as I'd want to spare the girls humiliation. I'm no SJW, I'm just being sexist I guess? A boys team I would leave on the court. A girls team I would throw the towel.

Humiliation? At that point, it isn't humiliating anymore.
Scruffy would have laughed about it.
Great story for the future kids he adopted because no one would sleep with someone who lost that badly.

Dang referees...

Pulling them off the court would've been much more humiliating.

I, for one, can't stand when reasons happen.

Absolutely. I mean sure it sucks.
But if I could teach every young person only one life skill it would be to never quit.
I don't mean beat your head against the wall forever. If you aren't good at basketball you can move on to other things but not until you've completed commitments you have made
Those girls committed to play on that team and that means For Better or For Worse. There may never be another time in their life when they want to quit more then they probably did at halftime
The thing about quitting though is that it is absolutely habit forming.
Each successive time gets easier to do which means each successive time represents more opportunities to overcome failure that you never even got the chance to see

Saw a game like that back when I was in HS. Not that bad of a beat more in the line or 60-0. Ball rarely got passed half court for a long time, they would score and steal it back before the other girls could got passed half court. Coach finally told his girls to pass around til time clock was about to go off before attempting to score.
