IMG Academy football game called at halftime with Ascenders leading 96-0

Good off-topic read, usually once a year some big story makes national news regarding some of the national elite programs.   Love to see the first half stats.

High school football game called at half with IMG Academy leading 96-0 (usatoday.com)

My first thought was: with how elite and big time a program IMG is, why was this game scheduled in the first place? Lol

IMG had this happen last year too that made news when they played a fake school. They must have a hard time scheduling and take anyone that will play them.

I understand The Duluth School of The Inept is looking for a game, willing to travel!

Looks like they played them again this season and forfeited. Wonder if they had a contract that's still in dispute, so they took the loss.  They had a game scheduled that same weekend the next day, so it must have been some type of administrative plan as I can't imagine IMG, no matter how go they are, scheduling two games in two days like that.

Certainly IMG started running the football every play after they went up 42-0. If not, shame on them.

At 96 in the first half, I'm not sure there's much difference on pass or run ... that's a TD and PAT less than every two minutes.
