Good call. The coach of Covenant should be embarrassed.

At my kids school they bring these kinds of schools in and feed them and lead them through a day of school

then play a fun game with the second and third string playing the whole time.

That way the kids with problems in their past see what its like to be with good kids who dont judge them.

my 14 yo daughter plays on her HS JV team, which sounds similar to Dallas Academy, it’s a tiny school, they have their first game this friday. we’ll see how they do. She also plays on a girls rec league team which is quite good, she is the weakest player. the last game the rec league team played where they were up by a lot, her coach kept my daughter in for 3 full quarters [she was sucking wind, i gotta tell ya!] trying to give her some playing time and trying to set her up for plays etc. They SPECIFICALLY didn’t run the score up on the other team, but gave their lesser players more playing time.

So what happens when the 2nd or 3rd string of one school plays the 1st string of another school and still blows them away? In our case, our school, our 2nd and 3rd string played the 1st string of another school. And we blew them away. The Coach of the losing team made a big “tado” claiming our team ran up the score even though we coached the kids to do jump serves (which are difficult) or pull back on their hits.

Are we supposed to tell them to throw the game to make the other team feel better?
