Just a few months ago, a high school football team based out of Inglewood, California faced heavy criticism as they beat opponents 106-0.


Though it appears that another high school, this time out of Verona, Wisconsin, is in a similar boat.


As the Verona Wildcats girls basketball team took on Janesville Parker Wednesday evening, six Wildcats players scored in the double-digits, defeating Janesville Parker by almost 100 points.


It’s important to note that multiple players on Janesville came into the year with little to no basketball experience and has several injuries apart of their squad, though this loss definitely comes heavy regardless of how they pictured the season to unfold.

“I told the team afterward to never forget what this feeling is like and don’t let anyone ever make you feel like this way again. Find some resiliency, come to practice tomorrow focused and be aggressive in your approach. No one’s going to feel sorry for you.”


We mean, if a situation ever called for tough love, it’s definitely this one.


Meanwhile, the head coach of Verona, Angie Murphy, commented on her team’s win.


Though, like the football team from Inglewood, the Wildcats were subjected to some criticism.


In addition, a representative from the Janesville School District commented on the game.


“With respect to the Janesville Parker girls basketball game versus Verona High School last night, we recognize that in all athletics, you will win some games, and you will lose some games. The Viking girls team is persevering through injuries and illness, working hard to improve through difficult situations. Anyone can see the score of last night’s game and can make their own opinion of its appropriateness.

The more important thing to remember is how the coaches and the team respond to a game -- lessons learned, finding areas where they may improve. We are proud to be able to field a team for girls basketball at both of our high schools, and these Viking student-athletes have heart and a desire to improve. And that is the most important thing about high school sports/clubs. It is not about the win/loss record, but recognizing that the skills, traits, and characteristics students learn by participating will serve them well in career, college, and life--making them better community members long after their high school days are over.”
