JY wins by 100!

I no longer focus on boys hoops; but, I do want to acknowledge this news I received from Jim Hicks of RCS Sports:

SATURDAY, JAN 26th:
WOW! HOUSTON YATES 133, HOUSTON AUSTIN 33.

Y: Brandon Peters 29, Marshall Lange 23, Xavier Roberson 18, Joseph Young 17, Eric Law 14, EJ Kirby 12, Richard Dora 11.

A: Dewayne Hopkins 10

NOTES: Despite four key players missing, including starters Anthony Jones and Darius Gardner (both testing), Yates was clicking on all cylinders. The Lions scored 43 points in the first period and never looked back against the very over matched Austin Mustangs. There were seven players who scored double figures led by sophomore sensation Brandon “Snap” Peters (29pts) who nearly outscored Austin HS all by himself. Fellow tenth graders Marshall Lange and Joseph Young (son of Phi Slamma Jamma's Michael Young) combined to score 40pts in the win.

Any thoughts? Is a 100-point victory a good thing? Should JY head coach Greg Wise have "pulled in the reins"? Or should Austin simply learn from the loss and try to get better?

    Only one thought...if there were players that sat on the bench for Yates that didn't play in the game, then shame on the Yates coach.
