From what I understand both schools are 2A. They were outperformed not out of league. The boys team beat Covenant 50-38, immediately after the 100-0 girls game.
It has nothing to do with pity or losing by 100. Had they lost by 50 it would be just as bad.
The loosing team has been loosing for four years now and has lost by margins as large as 48 points. What is the difference in between now and then? Why withdraw now? What has changed?
I agree that the coach should not have run up the score, but I am curious to know if our well meaning pity has had an undesirable consequence.
The boys’ team is irrelevant. If the girls have been losing for 4 years and by as much as 48 points, they are playing out of their league.
I mean that in the colloquial way, not in the “this is how the state assigns schools to sports leagues according to enrollment” way.
