Girls Basketball Team Wins 108-1

In Cleveland Ohio, the Gilmour girls basketball team recorded a win this past Wednesday over Northeast Ohio Prep in a Division III North Ridgeville Sectional semifinal. However it wasn't just any win, the Gilmour girls team caught national headlines because of the final score of this game; 108-1. Winning by 107 points and only allowing a free throw to drop in as the other teams only point. When Gilmour's coach was asked about the game he said, "Our intent was to not run anything up, and we took steps not to disrespect our opponent." "They went 0-28 from the field and 1-4 from the free throw line. We let them shoot."Shocking reaction from the coach, and honestly I liked how he had absolutely no sympathy for absolutely manhandling the other team. It was honestly the best reaction the winning coach could have given them, if he said something like "They played their hearts out" I would find that more disrespectful to the opposing team because nobody should lose a game 108-1. He told it straight up he said the other team just couldn't make shots and thats not his fault, and felt that his team played the game the right way even though the score might not reflect it. If you just took a glance at the photo above and didn't look at the scoreboard you couldn't tell what honestly happened in this game or who was the winning team. Absolutely no emotions being shown from either side. Lastly, another thing that shocks me the most was that it wasn't like they were playing an awful team, they were in the playoffs playing in the sectional semifinal game. Just mind blowing how the team who lost this game even made it that far.
