Inglewood criticized after 106-0 win over Morningside in football game: 'It was a classless move'
KABC 10 hrs ago


The Inglewood High School football team defeated Morningside High School by a lopsided score of 106-0 Friday night, prompting criticism from the California Interscholastic Federation and others.

Many are wondering why the mercy rule wasn't put into effect or whether student-athletes may have been exposed to increased injury risk.

"It was a classless move," said Brian Collins, Morningside's first-year head coach, the Los Angeles Times reported. "I told them, 'Go play St. John Bosco and Mater Dei.'"

The California Interscholastic Federation Southern Section condemned Inglewood's in-game conduct in statement, saying it "expects that all athletic contests are to be conducted under the strictest code of good sportsmanship. We expect coaches, players, officials, administrators and students to adhere to the Six Pillars of Character - Trustworthiness, Respect, Responsibility, Fairness, Caring and Citizenship. A score of 106-0 does not represent these ideals.

"The CIF-SS condemns, in the strongest terms, results such as these. It is our expectation that the Inglewood administration will work towards putting in place an action plan so that an event such as this does not repeat itself.

1. Inglewood will play some quality teams in the next few weeks . . .

many helmed by coaches with integrity and a strong sense of fair play.

It'll be interesting to see what happens on their way to what they hope is a winning season, especially since they've already lost the opportunity to be champions.


As a life-long UCLA Bruin, I can only hope the Inglewood QB, Justyn Martin, who has committed to UCLA for next year, bring his talents but leaves his coaches' lessons behind.

9. Inglewood is playing in league beneath them,

To rack up stats for the quarterback and other star players. Check the standings. Pathetic.

2. Here we go!

3. Didn't we have this discussion?

Unless Inglewood did something against the rules, that's what the score was. Perhaps Morningside should be playing teams more at its skill level.

4. 'Cuz it's all about the letter of the law, amirite??

The spirit of the law is for wussies and luzers and people who are not...what is that word I'm looking for?...oh, yes: rich!

6. The two schools are three miles apart. They're going to play each other eventually.

Where were the referees in all this? You'd think that after a 59-0 first quarter, the umpire would disqualify Inglewood's entire first string and have them play the second-string for the rest of the game.

10. Inglewood needs to be in raised into a higher

League. The team is stacking stats for players.

11. Perhaps Inglewood

should be playing teams more at its skill level.

I play a lot of chess. I prefer to face a player who's at my skill level rather than play someone who's easy to beat.

12. Yep you were on the wrong side then too

I don’t know how good your reading comprehension is but perhaps you read what the directors of the league had to say about the game in the OP

See they strongly disagree with you too

[brooklynite]

13. They're entitled to strongly disagree with me. So are you.

[Act_of_Reparation]

16. I strongly disagree with you.

Boy, this is exciting.

[GusBob]

17. You should something to change their minds

Buy the league and run it yourself

Most of us lower class folks disagree with you

[USALiberal]

14. I predicted you would post this. Nt

[brooklynite]

15. I try to be consistent.

[denbot]

5. That was no football game..

It was a drive by massacre..

[roamer65]

7. If I were a third stringer I would have left the game and quit the team.

Why waste all that practice time if you NEVER get to play.

Once was on a league hockey team and we had a batch that started to hog nearly all the ice time. Just told them not paying for this shit, good luck with your season and walked out.

8. "Inglewood High even went for a two-point conversion pass after scoring to take a triple-digit lead"

Fucking classless
