i heard about this on the sports talk radio on my way to school this morning. the guys were saying pretty funny things like:

"you think they covered the spread?"
"what if the over/under was 118?"
"i wonder if lakeshore scored the first two points? they probably said to themselves, we can probably stay in this."

also why is a winless school in the playoffs? quote from article:

"What do you tell our girls? Not to play?" Walkerville High athletics director Ron Stoneman said Wednesday, a day after his state-ranked school stomped winless Hart Lakeshore Public Academy in a girls basketball playoff game.

LOL. What was that team doing in the playoffs???? I bet they scored the 2 points on free throws too.

Did you read the article? It's some kind of "good sportmanship"/"everyone should get a chance to win" type of BS.
I just don't get it. Personally, I feel worse if someone "lets" me win or go easy in a game or contest. I'd rather get my ass kicked than get someone's pity.
