Just reading a story in the Dallas Morning News where a girls high school basketball team beat another 100-0.
The final score of the high school girls basketball game was 100-0, and his team had the nothing. Still, a week later, Dallas Academy Athletic Director Jeremy Civello was chalking up the game in the win column.
“My girls never quit,” he said. “They played as hard as they could to the very end. They played with all their hearts at 70-nothing, 80-nothing and 100-nothing. I was really proud of them. That’s what I told them after the game.”
The game took place Jan. 13, on the road, against The Covenant School. Civello didn’t expect his girls to win. He never really does. His girls haven’t won a game in his four seasons at the White Rock Lake-area school, renowned for its work with students with a variety of learning problems. In most games, they haven’t come close.
Here’s my question. Why is this a problem? It’s sports. It’s life. I understand there may be fewer girls in this school than others, but what’s the problem here? Before you know it, this team is going to file a grievance with the Texas Education Agency and probably be granted a 50 point waiver for every game. Let the kids play ball without the interference of adults.
No word on how many points Savannah Smith of The Covenant School scored, but I would imagine it was massive based on this video.
