Texans are tough. Especially the women.
In Texas, The Covenant School's women's basketball team scored 100 points more than the opposing team from Dallas Academy in a recent game.
Can you guess how many points Dallas Academy scored?
Zero.
I'm not making this up.
Final score: 100-0.
The score at half-time was 59-0, and I'm not quite sure when they stopped, but the winning team continued to full court press and bomb threes well into the rout.
I don't know who to feel sorrier for, the team that scored 100 points or the team that scored 0 points. And what was Covenant's coach thinking?
The Covenant School has since requested its win be turned into a forfeit.
***UPDATE***
The Covenant School has since fired the coach responsible for the massacre. Special thanks to Jenna for spotting the story this morning ;)

When I was about 13 I was playing a soccer game for the Boys Brigade (kind of like the Scouts but lamer). The score was 1:1 at half time and we lost the game 11:1 (it actually may have been more than this but I've blocked some of this memory out).
That was some team talk their coach gave them, I remember thinking in the bus home.
Another highlight was when we were down about 9:1 They scored again and our goalkeeper began to cry, refused to play anymore, and walked off in a huff. One of the backs had to do nets.
Adrian -
Was one of the backs you by any chance?
In law school, my roommates and a couple other law students decided to form a team to "compete" in the intramural basketball league, which was open to everybody from the University. We typically lost by an average of thirty points, unless we were playing another team comprised solely of law students, in which case the fans were on the edge of their seats. And by fans, I mean fan. And by fan, I mean my then girlfriend-now wife.

Nah I was too small for a goalie but funnily enough I had quite a good game in the first half - getting in some nice sliding tackles and trash talking their centre forward into telling me to STF up.
No doubt this contributed to the second half debacle.
I played on on my
oops cut off, I was just going to add that I played on my law school rubgy sevens team and we lost every game we played.
Rugby is a game I'd love to try. It wasn't that popular around me when I was growing up, so I never got much of a chance. And I'm guessing it's not the best sport to take up after you turn 30.
I'd also love to see what hurling's all about. I was hoping to catch a game (match?) when the wife and I went to Ireland, but we never did. Too much time at the pubs, Guinness Factory, etc.
Ah,playing soccer as kids,those matches ending with hockey scores like 4-4 or 7-2,happy times.

And yet he maintains he scored at Villa Park and trained the Aspen Baronets and the Israeli rugby national team or something.
By the way,I've looked up the Boys Brigade and their stated objective is
"The advancement of Christ's kingdom among Boys and the promotion of habits of Obedience, Reverence, Discipline, Self-respect and all that tends towards a true Christian manliness."
True Christian manliness,wow.
And I'm guessing it's not the best sport to take up after you turn 30.
Nor when you're nearer to forty and you have already spread lots of pieces of your left knee on a football field,I fear.
Rugby might not be a good idea after 30.
But I hear jujitsu is pretty gentle. ;-)

The real test for the Boys Brigade is whether they permit homosexual males to be troop leaders.

Good point. Maybe I'll take up Tai Chi instead.
