The score is simply incomprehensible.
The Dutch Fork (Irmo, South Carolina) girls basketball team opened the season on Friday with a 95-0 win over Lamar (Lamar, South Carolina). That is right.
It bares repeating: Dutch Fork won their season opener 95-0 over Lamar.
On one hand, scoring 95 points in a high school basketball game is incredibly rare. It is an incredible amount of points to score. But to then hold an opponent to no points is…well…it just doesn’t happen.
And it doesn’t happen with this kind of margin between the two teams.
In a comment on social media, one person questioned the sportsmasnhip of the winning school, saying that Dutch Fork probably used a full-court press the entire game. There is no tap-dancing around that tweet, which implies that Dutch Fork ran up the score and didn’t let up.
Interestingly enough, the program responded to the tweet and defended their head coach:
No. Our coach is not like that. We dropped back after the first quarter. The score could’ve been much higher.

Well, that will make Lamar feel better…’The score could’ve been much higher’…
Last season, Dutch Fork went 14-10.
There were no stats for the game given that the poor high school student charged with being the scorekeeper first ran out of ink and then developed severe arm cramps midway through the first quarter when trying to keep up with the action.
