Recently in a boys basketball game Yates, TX beat a team 170-35 after being up 100-12 at half time. Here is the story from MaxPreps.
Quote:No. 2 Yates (Houston, Texas) posted a controversial 135-point win over Houston Lee on Tuesday night, setting the state record for points in a game in the process with 170. Despite a 100-12 halftime lead, the Lions stayed true to their pressing and trapping style, which didnât sit well with Lee head coach Jacques Armant.
âI feel very disrespected right now,â Armant told the Houston Chronicle. âI donât understand why Yates just kept scoring and pressing when they were up so much. These are kids. It isnât good to do that to other young men.â
Yates head coach Greg Wise defended his teamâs style of play.
âWe practice running, pressing, trapping every day,â Wise said to the Chronicle. âIf we get to a game and I tell them not to do what we do in practice, I am not coaching well. I am not leaving my starters in the whole game. We have 15 guys, and all 15 play.â
According to the Chronicle, a second-half scuffle broke out. In a unique response, officials forced each team to finish the game with the same five players - no substitutions. Bench players watched the second half from the stands.
The Lions are averaging 119 points per game â which would be a national record for points per game over a season â and beat Houston Austin 139-51 last Saturday. Brandon Peters led the Lions Tuesday night with 43 points. Three other players scored 20 or more.
