Message: [QUOTE="Puppy Love, post: 4154768, member: 8101"] I think it comes down to a question of what message/lesson we want to give to high school girls. For me, the message of this game was to tell the Lyman Hall kids ‘here is a situation where you cannot compete and we expect you to be cannon fodder’. This wasn’t a game where there could be learning experiences that Lyman Hall could take to the next game. The were outmatched in every respect. Mostly, I fault the adults that allowed this game to be scheduled. But I also blame the Sacred Heart coach for not doing many things that would have kept the score down a bit. Sports for girls are SO important in learning teamwork, learning to overcome obstacles, self esteem, lifelong physical fitness and just plain having fun. It’s hard to see how a game like this does much towards those goals. [/QUOTE]
