A high school girls basketball team that beat an opponent 100-0 has a case of blowout remorse.
The winning school now says it wants to do the right thing by seeking a forfeit and apologizing for the margin of victory.
“It is shameful and an embarrassment that this happened,” the head of the school said Thursday on The Covenant School’s Web site. He added that Covenant has made “a formal request to forfeit the game recognizing that a victory without honor is a great loss.”
Covenant, a private Christian school in Dallas, defeated Dallas Academy 100-0 last week. Covenant was up 59-0 at halftime.
A parent who attended the game told The Associated Press that Covenant continued to make 3-pointers — even in the fourth quarter. She praised the Covenant players but said spectators and an assistant coach were cheering wildly as their team edged closer to 100 points.

Well, this was a ridiculous story. I don’t care enough to know the full details of what’s going on, but from what I see just by the score the defeated players never left the bench. They didn’t even play.
Some of the posters here mentioned retards and christians. If the defeated team was comprised of retards (or mentally challenged for the PC types out there) then it’s totally disgraceful. Who set up this game and why?
Again, a ridiculous non-story. People should immediately forget this happened.
#21, Carcar,
The ridiculous thing is when some asswipe starts pontificating without having even read the article.
They were neither mentally retarded or challenged. They had learning disabilities. Like you.
A ridiculous post from some effen retard. Must be Cow-Paddy’s sister.
I don’t know whose feeling are hurt more, Dvorak or the winning team.
If they want to do, what they think is right, then; why the f#$k should I care?
Talking about Nanny State shit, you don’t need to point to at it out there, it’s in Dvorak blogs big time.
Again, why the f#$k should I care?
Like Jefferson said, if it doesn’t pick my pockets or break my leg. It doesn’t matter. As long as it doesn’t harm others.
Why is that so hard to grasp. This Nanny State shit should stop.
Tv news says the coach commented the schools apology was wrong and that his girls played admirably. The school fired him without any explanation being given.
This followed the news of the High School Football Coach facing “wreckless homicide” charges in the death of one of his players during practice who was denied access to water.
“Coaches”—what are you gonna do with them?
Sully on tv as well: “We simply were doing the job we were trained to do.” Most heroes say that.
