You guys can, as a buddy of mine says "Dance" all around the issue but, tell me exactly what is learned by either team in a 75 to 6 or 80 something to 20 something beat down?

You may be that good and they may be that bad but couldn't you work on your delay game? Couldn't you control the scoring by your substation pattern? Couldn't you walk it up and maybe just maybe pick up at 3/4 court instead of full or half?

Get all you want in the first half and show some class in the 2nd.

Athens did that in football this year and it didn't seem to hurt our tourney run.

Fortdawg great points!! Sportsmanship has to mean some thing! If your team is so dominate win the dang game BUT do so with class and a hair of dignity. Always remember if you beat me by 40 (or whatever lopsided score) you will have a down year and when it happens I will hang a 100 on your neck just for fun :) There is something to be said about being classy that money can't buy.
