The Best Paragraph I've Read: A school board in northern Michigan plans to send a protest over sportsmanship following a soccer player's 16-goal record-setting game against a winless team. The backlash over Kevin Hubbell's performance continued Monday night at a meeting of the Kingsley board. Members didn't take a formal vote, but there was clear support for sending a letter to the Benzie Central district, the superintendent said. Hubbell, one of the best players in Michigan, scored 16 goals in a 17-0 victory by Benzie Central on Sept. 29, setting state and national records for most goals in a high school game. "He was firing them off like a rocket," said Heather Bartelmay, a Kingsley school board member whose son was goalkeeper for part of the game. "We went over and hugged our boys. That's what was needed. Their hearts were bleeding." This paragraph comes from an article written by the Associated Press on the UpNorthLive.com website.  The title of the article is: "School concerned about sportsmanship after new soccer record."  You can read the article here: https://upnorthlive.com/news/local/school-concerned-about-sportsmanship-after-new-soccer-record Zac and Don talk about youth sport blowouts.  Is it ever ok to run up the score?  Is there a certain point when a coach needs to try and slow their team down?  Are fans, players, and their communities allowed to be angry about losing games in a big way?  Does the age of the players matter in this discussion?
