Excellent point. I doubt, however, that Loyola or Notre Dame would agree. At what point would it have been more “Christian” to stop the competition? 50-0? 20-0? Perhaps forfeiting the contest at its opening, thereby purchasing sufficient “indulgences” to enter Heaven?
As a homeschooler, I've known a few kids who play on a homeschool team and compete against these private schools. My neighbor was one of the coaches. Good sportsmanship and character training are considered more important than the actual sporting skills in these small christian leagues.
These girls probably won't be dribbling a ball in twenty years, but the character they develop now will certainly be with them.
