I dont know about you all, but im so damn sick of hearing about running up the scores.
If your team gets beat by 80 then your team sucks, get over it.
If i was a high school coach id score a 100 if i had a chance. Who cares about the feelings of the players. They agreed to play and they know they can get stomped. This whole, you ran up the score act is getting old.
Grow a pair and get better instead of crying about getting thumped.

While I understand your point - I could not disagree more. Think of it like this. What is the purpose of sport? Why do we allow our sons and daughters to invest countless hours to train and practice and risk life and limb to compete? If your answer to that is to win by as big a margin as possible against every opponent you face you number yourself with those who have a short sighted view of what sports can do for a young person who participates in a program with right focus.

By not showing restraint and by humiliating weaker opponents what message would you be sending to your players? If a program has the larger goal of using sport to help develop young men and women of character they will not only win they will win with dignity and honor and teach those traits to their players by doing so.
