Okla. High School Hoops Team Loses 112-2

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 Jim 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 boys' roster scored. Seven players finished in double figures.
Extremely lopsided game, how did they achieve that? Even if someone just flips the ball up the team should have a better chance to score more than TWO points, two freaking points. Did all five of the starters drop down and play dead? Read some funny messages on Yahoo! board.

It is embarrassing to watch Dubya make a fool of himself everyday.

Lets see, the winning team was already playing their second string. I guess they should have put on blindfolds and tied one arm behind their backs to make it fair.

their real basketball team was out getting drunk. they were replaced with dogs and cats was why the score was so lopsided. there was no one in the audience so no one noticed.

And some possible reason behind such a mess:

Hanna High School's total enrollment. .

is only 38 students, whereas Earlsboro's is 87. The winning school had a larger pool of talent from which to draw players.
