EARLSBORO, Okla. - The Hanna High School basketball team can take some consolation: It didn’t get shut out.
It did, however, lose 112-2 on Friday night to Earlsboro.
“It was embarrassing to watch,” Earlsboro coach Walling told The Oklahoman. “But you can’t just tell your kids not to score. I’ve been coaching 27 years and have never been involved in something like this.”
The Wildcats led 42-0 after one quarter and 73-2 at halftime. Walling pulled his starters in the second half, and game officials kept a running clock, stopping it only for free throws.Each player on Earlsboro’s 10-man roster scored. Seven players finished in double figures.

wow...

to be quite honest...no offense soup nazi...I question the validity of this story, merely because of the unbelievity of it. 112-2?????!!!!!!

*sigh*

Oh, how bad I feel for those kids, cause like Fillmoe said, I could score two on my own, and I'm a 5'10" white kid with no hops.

It's legit - it was on the front page of Yahoo.

How this happens I cannot fathom - the losing team probably ought to quit their season right now...

YIKES!

What you say to the players after a loss like that?

YIKES!

What you say to the players after a loss like that?

The coach would probably say, "Boys, I'm proud of you! Next game, we will score four points!"

 

[ONEZERO]

That is ridiculous. I think if 5 of me played 5 lebrons, I could manage a couple prayer shots and score 4 points. And I'm only a 5' 7" guy with limited hops.

Part of the article:

...The Wildcats led 42-0 after one quarter and 73-2 at halftime...

I guess the Hannah High School coach's halftime speech didn't work, eh?

the guy who scored the 2 points is the coolest guy in school.
