“A couple of times they literally just handed the ball to my girls,’’ Bush said. “Did she really just give it to her?” we asked each other as we sat there on the bench.
“If I had known it was going to be that bad, I would have brought my JV girls to play pretty much the entire game.”
Bush knew the game would not be pretty from the moment it began. In four quarters of play, Lamar allegedly took as few as five or six shots, and on occasion, the Lamar players just handed the ball to Dutch Fork without any opposition.

Bush claimed her team wanted to reach 100 points, but she forced them to keep the ball on every offensive possession as Dutch Fork’s score started to creep into the 90s. The 95-0 score that went viral on social media was made possible by Bush’s clemency, but from her description, it might have been far worse.
