Interesting to get the other side! Still, I find it a little tough to believe that a score of ONE HUNDRED to zero wasn’t at least partly the result of a run-up score.

Most of the reason for the score, though, must be that the other team was simply woefully uprepared.

How does one score 31 points while ‘running down the clock’ anyway?

My Sr. year at high school (also a small private school) we had several cases like this. At the main public school in town, there was an incident with a shooting (no one was harmed but it freaked parents out) so we had a lot of transfers, including four from the varsity 5a basketball team. We won the entire season like this, (90-10, 75-5, etc) type games. Many games, we felt like we where just walking around, slowly taking shots, but we so outgunned the opponents, the score just ran up. Like another poster said, the only way it would have been different is if we just handed the other team the ball and stood back- very unsportsmanlike like.
