Two US Girls High School Basketball Basketball Teams Attempt to Fix Game

Just because they were so freaking scared of playing Blackman High School, a well known powerhouse in girls’ basketball, two high school basketball teams from Tennessee, USA decided to fix the game, so that they would avoid playing the strongest team in the elimination round.

Smyrna High vs Riverdale High Basketball Game

The coaches of Smyrna High School and Riverdale High School worked out a plan to throw away the game, players from both sides were instructed to lose the game. Unfortunately for the teams (and fortunately for the TSSAA), the referee noticed some weird moves from both sides:

• Frequent line violations, delaying tactics and turnovers
• Players shooting in the wrong basket
• Players missing free throws
• The game was recorded on mobile video by an analyst, allowing an observer to see the deliberate moves clearly.
• Some parents had no problems with the cheating attempts, literally telling kids that you should cheat your way through life if possible.
• Athletic officials say the incident is a mockery to the game and it has implications on the kids’ future because that’s not the way to handle challenges.
• The TSSAA summoned the school principals of the concerned teams for a disciplinary hearing.
• At the TSSAA meeting, both schools were fined $1,500, put on probation for the 2016 calendar and removed from the tournament.
• Both schools are considering punishment for their coaches.
