The Inane Asylum

I am a 16 year old sophmore at Murry Bergtraum High School. I stand by Epiphanny's 113 point game, you can't blame anybody for that. If she had enough skill to do that along with the help of her teammates. Who are these people to tell her she is setting a bad example for other youths. That gives youths more encouragement to try thier best and besides records are made to be broken and no one can change that. Epiphanny is the greatest high school girls basketball player in my book, so if anybody has a problem then you just can't recognize a great player when there is one right in front of you. Your probably just mad because she sent brandeis students players home crying.

It was straight up wrong. I give EP props for being able to do it, but her coach is just a glory hog who just wanted some light to stand in.
Obviously, the game was schedule filler, in which case, a blowout is to be expected. If his team was in Brandeis' position, then he'd be crying about sportsmanship and all of that.Youth sports is not supposed to be about merciless bill collectors. It's supposed to be about sportsmanship and all of that. There is no way to justify a 100+ point blowout, especially with your best player out there. In a situation like that, you'd eventually tell your bench to calm down and run out the clock. Really, he put her in harm's way so that he could be the coach in the game where the girl broke the record. But if she got injured chasing that record, everyone sees him for the fame chaser he is.

I think the whole thing is kinda gay.

I think that if my team was a schedule filler, and the other team started to run wild... foul, foul, foul... and then play 4 corners.

No way in hell someone is putting 100 up on me or my team.

Thats funny... foul, foul, foul, lol. Nah, I dont see what the big deal is. This is an eye opener for me. Makes me wonder how many star players are held back from giving their all because the other team is having their feelings hurt.

The justification is that she made headlines and got nationwide exposure. This is good for her future career. Brandeis? They were going to lose bigtime anyway, so why can't she capitalize on that? The implications are beyond considerations of sportsmanship.

And this is 90% shooting! Most of us couldn't do that on our best day with no opposing team and the rim widened.

Good for Epiphanny... what she did was sent a message to female athletes to shine and gives encouragement to those who dream.

I feel for the coach from Brandeis. It's hard to get slapped. If the best showing your team has is low two-digit... maybe it's time for a new coach.

I don't think the coach was wrong for letting his player continue to play knowing they other team would have lost. If I was a coach and one of my players were on fire and about to break a record then who am I to put myself in the way. It's a once in a life time opportunity. If Epiphanny didn't want to continue to play and took herself out then I as a would respect that but she wanted to play, then I would let her play. It is not selfish to keep a player from playing to the best of her ability.

I'm a 5'5 junior and I play basketball. I've been following up with Epiphany for awhile now. When she set that record of 113 points, I was dead shocked. It still seems impossible for me to beleive that one person set a record that high in 32 minutes. The fact that she did that just gave me motivation to wanna keep playing ball. I hope she contiue to do her thing on the court. She's from fort Greene so maybe I might go out there to the middle side and holla at her 'cuz I need some pointers on my game. I know she get madd respect in the hood for what she does.

im a junior in MBHS and when EP scored 113, she became like the Kobe Bryant of our school. she already was a recognizable person but this just put her over the top. congrats EP, i hope u do well in Rutgers. all these otha ppl are hatin on u.
