Garden City High School

I'm all for rules, as much as the next person. However, you have to know the ramifications of the rule and understand who the rule is punishing, as well the concept of the violation before implementing the rule. What is the rule supposed to accomplish? Nassau County, high school football had a rule designed to prevent teams from running up the score. It sounds fine on the surface but when you understand each circumstance, a blanket rule doesn't work.

The Garden City High School football program is very good. Sometimes, in competition the talent differential between high schools or even colleges will result in lopsided scores. Last week, a high school in California beat another high school 106-0. That to me is criminal or as the losing coach said after that lopsided loss, "classless." Seriously, what are you teaching those student-athletes? That it's good to humiliate people when you can? Really?
