Thehawkeye – While the second-ranked (Class 1A) Danville High School boys basketball team capped off its undefeated regular season in dominant fashion, it was West Burlington which may have set a national record in Saturday’s 109-25 SEI Superconference South Division game in West Burlington.  West Burlington head coach Vern Reed said the Falcons attempted more than 100 3-pointers in the contest, which pending National Federation of State High School Associations verification, would be a new national mark.  The Falcons only made eight of those attempts.  “We were right around 103, but I have to watch the tape,” Reed said.  The current national record is held by Juniata Valley (Pa.), which had 94 3-point attempts against Claysburg (Pa.) on Jan. 30, 1997.  The Falcons were led by Skylar Schmeiser, who drained four 3-point attempts.  “We were hoping that coming in averaging 24 or so percent (on 3-pointers), we could make 24 or 25. Unfortunately that didn’t happen, but all you can do is try. The kids were excited and got after it, and my hat’s off to them.”  “We have a lot of respect for (Danville coach Ken Laffoon),” Reed said. “After time I think he realized what was going on, and he was very classy about the situation.  “It’s a neat thing for the kids and hopefully its something they can remember.”

I’m so confused.   Does the West Burlington coach think they accomplished something here?  I mean it almost sounds like he’s boasting doesn’t it?  “The kids were excited and got after it?  My hats off to them.” Umm bro you hit 8 out of 100 three pointers.   That ain’t anything to brag about.  I mean a girls basketball team could do that.   And I love that little line about how when the opposing coach realized what they were doing he handled it with class.  I don’t even know what that means.  What does he care if your team runs down the court and hucks up a brick every time like an asshole.    That’s why they are up 70.  What does that have to do with handling it with class?
