School apologizes for 100-0 win, will seek to forfeit victory

A Texas high school girls basketball team on the winning end of a 100-0 blowout has apologized to the losing school, calling the game "shameful and an embarrassment".

Officials from The Covenant School, a private Christian school in Dallas, said Thursday they are seeking to forfeit the win because "victory without honour is a great loss".

Covenant defeated The Dallas Academy 100-0 on Jan. 13. Covenant led 59-0 at halftime.

The Dallas Academy has eight girls on its varsity team and just 20 girls in the school.

The academy specializes in teaching students with what it calls "learning differences", such as short attention spans or difficulty in concentrating.
