Now that's sportsmanship

Greeley girls basketball team beats Boulder school 94-1

Frontier Academy, a charter school in west Greeley, led 48-0 at halftime against Boulder's Justice High School, which is designed to educate at-risk youth.

"I've had 100 points scored on me before, and I think it's important to respect the game and to respect your opponent," Frontier Academy head coach Nathan Buxman said this morning in a phone interview. "We show the most respect for our opponents by continuing to play hard."


Well, if that is the case coach Buxman, why didn't make it 200-1?

Buxman said his team never used any kind of a pressure defense and stayed in a man-to-man, half court defense. He rotated five girls into the game every four minutes once the score became lopsided.

But wait, you just said that you want to respect your opponent by playing hard. Now you are saying you let up because of the score?

Whatever, dude. You're a douche.
