Scorers' remorse?

100-0.
That was the score of a girls prep basketball in Dallas the other night. One of the winning team members – not the head coach, unfortunately – expressed her dislike for running up the score to that extent.
Good her for. The school apologized (eventually) for running up the score. But no one from the school – including the head coach – has offered an excuse for what happened.
In my mind, there's no excuse to score that many points against a team that obviously isn't of your caliber. It's not a question about what we say about winning and losing at this age level. It's a question of the need to win 100-0. And I'm not sure that's necessary.
