School sets Texas scoring record in 170-35 win

I am not one to say call off the dogs but you can in this sort of situation put them on a leash when the game got out of hand.

The Yates High School boys basketball team set a state record and set itself up for controversy Tuesday night at Butler Fieldhouse. The Lions beat Lee High School 170-35, setting the single-game state scoring record. Hardin-Jefferson had owned the record of 166 points since 1992. But the Lions' brush with history was marred by a second-half scuffle and questions of sportsmanship. In the third quarter, a fight erupted after an intentional foul was called on a Lee player. After breaking up the fight, the referees told both coaches they would have to play just five players the remainder of the game. The other players for both teams spent the rest of the second half sitting in the stands. “I feel very disrespected right now,” Lee coach Jacques Armant said. “I don't understand why Yates just kept scoring and pressing when they were up so much. These are kids. It isn't good to do that to other young men.” Yates, which led 100-12 at halftime, is 14-0 this season and has won 39 consecutive games. The 100 points in the first half is also a state record and the second-most ever in a boys high school basketball game.

You don't tell the kids to quit but put in plays they can at least practice in real time they are not good at running on the floor and use up the shot clock. This was bad sport all around.
