Thank you for the clarification. Makes zero sense to run it up. Evidently Meadville is ok with this style.Score is accurate. Very sad honestly. This coach has done this multiple times this season. This game especially, he had chances to not run up the score but he apparently thinks is necessary
Unfortunately, these types of coaches jump from school to school, or only coach when they know they have the talent to be good. These types of coaches will never coach a team that they are on the side losing that bad.What goes around….
Or as they say nowadays Karma!
agreed. You can figure out pretty quick which coaches are like that. Soon as the talent runs out they 'quit coaching' or move to another district.Unfortunately, these types of coaches jump from school to school, or only coach when they know they have the talent to be good.

Not an excuse at all. You can get kids in shape at practice not by embarrassing other student athletes. Meadville has about 15 girls on the roster. Idk if every girl on the roster saw the floor that game, didn’t watch that closely but i know a few only saw 1-3 mins. How do you think those girls feel? Not only embarrassing the other team but embarrassing your own players at that point.Looks like a score from a Delta girls game. They beat Charleston 129-33 in one game. Imagine that... 129 points in a high school girls bball game and that was likely with a running clock at some point.
I'm not excusing running up the scores bc like anyone else I hate to see it. But Delta and Meadville are both Class 1 schools and likely do not have deep rosters, so they have to keep playing all of their typical rotation players in blowouts.
I know Delta and likely Meadville both press the hell out of teams and play fast. That's their style of play and playing that way keeps them in shape. I'm sure the thinking is that if they get big leads and start stalling, then that hurts their conditioning and overall mindset and energy level. These teams have a shot at winning it all and they obviously want to be at a peak level in all areas.
Again, I'm no fan of running up scores, but just explaining why it is probably happening with these two teams, and why they don't just stall when they get big leads.
It appears they have some 'better teams' on their schedule.You have to play your conference games but hopefully this team is playing up in their non con.

weird flexBring Meadville to the COC. They will at least beat Joplin.
PCole, it was asked tonight and I know it hasn’t happened very often but when was the last time Coach Owens lost a game that had a turbo clock?FWIW: They beat #8 Mercer 63-27 tonight to win their tournament. Mercer had a very early 2-0 lead, then Meadville scored 23 straight. Game, set, match.
I had to get on MSHSAA's website to find it, then do some counting and addition: Princeton 68, Mercer 28 at Princeton on Jan. 23, 2009. Also Mercer's last game like that overall until Saturday night; 398 games between turboclock losses.PCole, it was asked tonight and I know it hasn’t happened very often but when was the last time Coach Owens lost a game that had a turbo clock?
Yep that is just as frustrating. And I have no problem with a coach running the score up in that situation. Win and lose with some class.On the other hand, back when there was no turbo clock I saw a local coach put his jv girls in when he had a good lead in the 4th quarter and the opposing coach had some subs in too. The coach that was behind put his starters back in and started pressing the JV team. The coach with the lead stood up and told him I put these kids to get them more playing time, if that's how you want to play it I'll put my starters back in and tell them not to allow the ball to cross half court the rest of the game and he did just that!
Kind of surprised by that.Meadville won at LeBlond tonight 49-43, per Jeremy Benson of grandriverconference.com.
They so mad they gonna put 200 on Woodland.Don't forget about Delta in Class 1. You'll get on their bad side.
They already beat them 93-31 earlier in the season.They so mad they gonna put 200 on Woodland.
