Blowouts

[ignazio]

A young sportswriter once claimed he had the best job in the world. A more seasoned scribe heard this and said "just wait til February."

In that spirit - and in the spirit of crapping on the sport that craps on us - I present the annual list of IHSA basketball blowouts.

BKG/4A Riverside (R.-Brookfield) 66, Chicago (Curie) 20
BKG/3A Chicago (Lindblom) 70, Chicago (UNO/Garcia) 12
BKG/4A Mt. Prospect (Prospect) 55, Chicago (Steinmetz) 6
BKG/4A Summit (Argo) 90, Chicago (Kelly) 12
BKG/4A Harvey (Thornton) 80, Blue Island (Eisenhower) 30
BKG/3A Wilmette (Regina Dominican) 59, Chicago (Sullivan) 19

And Regina is a 13 seed

Took the words right out of my fingers.

A couple of weeks ago in the GCAC tournament, Regina was blown out 77-14 by Montini.

Perhaps I am getting old and losing track of time, I don't pay much attention to BB, but wasn't Curie a power not than many years ago?

They also pussed out of a game midway through the 2nd Quarter against Michigan City (IN) because of "calls not going their way". http://www.thenewsdispatch.com/sports/article_bb6a4134-bcca-11e5-bec9-a3e3d79c84af.html

Oh I guess I missed that this was girls basketball.

Wait, wait, wait...we're talking about Girls High School Basketball on here? Guys, c'mon, I know it's February but it can't be that bad.

 

[UlbKA91]

At least give Ignazio credit - to him both are just plain Basketball.

 

[Quags22]

I still have the best part time jib in the world. Especially in light of the fact that i don't have to cover of that crap.

Althoff dropped a 97-56 on Urbana in a tourney then a 103-75 drubbing of McCluer out of STL.

The school's motto is on the scoreboard:
Perseveranti debitur ...
"It will be given to the persevering"

"Girls Basketball" is redundant.
