We'll have a full recap of this game and of Zane Trace's 48-25 win over Trimble on tomorrow's show at 6:30pm on WOUB2.
Lynchburg Clay defeated Adena in overtime. Peebles defeated Northwest. North Adams defeated Piketon. Not sure of exact scores but a good day so far for the SHL.
Who is Reynoldsburg's Coach? Is it "Johnny Close", by any chance?????
There is NO need for this....I dont care how good Reynoldsburg might be or how bad Chillicothe is....If the game is coached properly no game should end up with this big a margin of victory.Shame on Reynoldsburg for for rest of the school year! I just hope there comes a day you get a beatdown like this....And I have no connection to either school.
really really hard to justify that score. May the basketball gods cast bad karma upon that team.
Was thinking of any possible scenario where that would be justified and just can't imagine it. say chilli starts 5 freshman. say r-burg has a roster of 8 upper class thourghobreds. You instruct the girls not to steal the ball, pack tight in a zone on D. On O you tell them to pass it around a bunch before shooting. then the score doesn't get so out of hand.
Scores like that are ridiculous, it should never happen. There should be mercy, either in a philosophy or by rule. I wonder how many times a 40 point lead has been turned around, let me place my bet. If there is no risk of losing then it seems that it would, from a coaching perspective, reasonable to maintain a established deficit. If you practice all the tactics previously mentioned and work at keeping the margin, it seems to me that soon enough the game would be finished. Or change the rules, game reaches a 40pt. spread, call it. :122247
