California girls high school basketball coach suspended after 161-2 victory

One of the worst losses I ever had was once at Kerrville, Texas, at a Freshman football game around 1967. Our team was racked with the influenza and we had beaten this same team badly the 7th and 8th grade. Kerrville came out swinging and destroyed us 70+ to nothing. We didn't give up but we just didn't have it. It was definitely a learning experience and it didn't feel too good even though we played the game with both hands tied behind our back. Today, the coach would not have been allowed to have played this game as sick as we were. After the game he told us he was proud of us for sticking it out and playing, even though we were sick. Ironically, we remember the game well >45 years later. I'll bet the Kerrville boys don't even remember the game.
