'Blowout' wins aren't what they seem
lowout losses seem to be com-
monplace when it comes to
Shelton basketball, but from
what I've seen, these games are not
what they seem.
On Dec. 12, Wilson defeated the
Shelton girls' basketball team 84-9
and Shelton didn't score in the second
half.
I know this might lead some to
questions about what the Lady High-
climbers are doing on the court, to
lose with such a lopsided score.
The answer to that question is:
They're doing the best they can.
Wilson's team consisted of seven
seniors, one sophomore and one fresh-
man while Shelton has one senior, six
juniors, one sophomore and two fresh-
men. That's quite a bit more varsity
experience on the Wilson team than
Shelton has.
In basketball terms, the Shelton
girls also are fairly short. The tallest
measures in at 5-feet 9-inches while
the shortest is just under 5-1. Com-
paratively, Wilson's tallest girl was
6-1 while the shortest was 5-1.
With height on their side, it was
always going to be a keep-away battle
while playing against Shelton.
The mercy rule for basketball is
that once one team has a 40-point
lead, the game switches to a running
clock at halftime. I0n
a way, this is merci-
ful as it makes the
second half of the
game go faster, but it
means that a team has
to continue playing,
knowing it has little
hope of catching up
By EMILY and almost no hope of
HANSON winning. This is quite
demoralizing and I
imagine it can mess
with players' heads, throwing off
their game and making it even harder
to score.
Shelton head girls' basketball
coach Aaron Leth said his team
never gives up and I believe that.
When I watch these girls play, I see
that they don't give up. They stick to
their opponents and try their hard-
est to defend their opponents, even
if the size and skill differential is too
great.
The problem is they are simply
outmatched by most of their oppo-
nents.
They can't match up height-wise,
they're younger than most of the
teams they'll face and though they
try their hardest, some teams are
more talented, as is true in any
sport.
When ! watch
these girls play, I
see that they don't
give up. They stick
to their opponents
and try their
hardest to defend
their opponents,
even if the size and
skill differential is
too great.
So I know it's easy to look at
lopsided scores and say the team
didn't show up to play or quit at
halftime, but I can guarantee that
is not what happens with the Shel-
ton girls.
Perhaps if more people showed
up for games to support the team,
they'd see how hard these girls re-
ally work.
