'It was a classless move': High school football team blows out opponent 106-0

Inglewood (California) Morningside and Inglewood High faced off Friday in a matchup decided well before the opening kickoff.

The final score reflected that: Inglewood 106, Morningside 0.

Inglewood led 59-0 after the first quarter and a running clock didn't start until late in the second quarter, according to the Los Angeles Times. The team attempted a two-point conversion while up 104-0 and quarterback Justyn Martin, who committed to the UCLA Bruins last week, threw 13 touchdown passes.

"It was a classless move," Morningside coach Brian Collins said Saturday.

Seven Inglewood players, all transfers, are committed to play college football, per the Times. Meanwhile, Daily Breeze reported, Morningside players met Collins for the first time a week prior to the season.

This is what happens with loose transfer rules and no mercy rules. Really uncalled for.

The winning coach called the game and they did practice and training with the other team for the rest of the 'game'.

When that point is reached, game over. There is nothing good learned or gained by having one team run up the score in such a lopsided manner.

The Detroit Lions are a bad football team, but for most of the season’s first seven weeks they had an endearing quality about them, that they would do everything short of biting off kneecaps to get a win.

That narrative no longer applies after the Lions put on an embarrassing display for the second time in three weeks, losing to the lowly Philadelphia Eagles, 44-6, at Ford Field.

The Lions (0-8) have lost 12 straight games dating back to last season and are the only winless team in the NFL. They are off to their worst start since 2008, when they became the first team in NFL history to go 0-16. And Sunday’s loss was their most lopsided defeat since a 47-7 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last December, when a large portion of their interim coaching staff was in COVID protocol.
