115-2 game raises sportsmanship questions

DETROIT (AP) -- Walkerville 115, Lakeshore 2.

And it could have been worse. A lot worse.

"What do you tell our girls? Not to play?" Walkerville High athletic director Ron Stoneman said Wednesday, a day after his school stomped winless Hart Lakeshore Public Academy in a girl's basketball playoff game.

"It had the potential to be really, really bad."

The blowout left Lakeshore academic director Steve Hamilton seething about a lack of sportsmanship.

"To me, if you run up the score like that, you have to answer for yourself," Hamilton said. "I have my doubts about a school that would go and run up a school by 100 points."

Walkerville coach Steve Kirwin said he doesn't schedule teams like Lakeshore -- with a student body of 50 in the final four grades -- during the regular season.
