EARLSBORO, Okla. - The Hanna High School basketball team can take some consolation: It didn’t get shut out.

It did, however, lose 112-2 on Friday night to Earlsboro.

“It was embarrassing to watch,” Earlsboro coach Walling told The Oklahoman. “But you can’t just tell your kids not to score. I’ve been coaching 27 years and have never been involved in something like this.”

The Wildcats led 42-0 after one quarter and 73-2 at halftime. Walling pulled his starters in the second half, and game officials kept a running clock, stopping it only for free throws.

Each player on Earlsboro’s 10-man roster scored. Seven players finished in double figures.

Off-topic: Oh! I love your shoes!

On-topic: That game would have been painful to watch. Poor kids.

Mm. I've watched rugby games like that. It's tough being a parent sometimes.

Only consolation is, at least it wasn't FootBall or Soccer.

Actually the longest game in baseball was at the Paw Sox stadium, Rochester vs. Pawtucket (Minor League, Rhode Island team) right near me. 33 innings or something like that. They actually had to come back on another day to finish. An at the end it was only 3-2, Paw Sox. Sounds thrilling.
