106-0
A Los Angeles high school is apologizing after facing criticism that its football team didn't simply defeat an opponent but rather trounced the opposing squad by a score of 106-0.
Inglewood High School's quarterback is UCLA-bound and passed for 13 touchdowns in the game. The team scored 56 points in the first quarter, and by halftime was up 83-0.
The most controversial move came when Inglewood's head coach went for a two-point conversion when the team was already up 104-0, tying Hilo High School in Hawaii for the highest-scoring high school football game in the last five years.
"He used their star quarterback, so it was to be expected," Morningside football player Dayvon Scruggs told CNN affiliate KABC. "We came in the game knowing that we were going to lose, but at the same time we still fought to the very end and didn't quit and that's what really matters."
However, his coach Brian Collins, who is a first-time head coach, told the Los Angeles Times it was a "classless move," but he was proud of his players for not quitting.

Kidding aside- that coach is a complete tool. Makes me wonder if he had a side bet giving a spread of 100 points?
or the other headline. could read....
UCLA bound quarterback season over with torn ACL, MCL...future in question at age 18
some Coaches need to reel in their ego, its not just about you.
He must be a Viking fan and afraid they were somehow going to find a way to lose the game despite the big lead =)
