It's a shame, in a sense. That girl will know nothing of good sportsmanship or restraint - both of which coaches look for up the road.
She'll even out in college - and after that fiasco, don't think other teams in that area of the country won't go "gunnin'" for her - undercutting her on her jump shots, trying to hurt her in fouling attempts. Congratulations on the record thingy - but I think you've let the cat out of the bag.
I know, as an athlete, when I have an advantage over an opponent - which is rare - I try to keep it contained until the right moment, then let it out - but just enough to get the win.
She let it all out against a team that was already down, and now the games that matter are going to get away from her because, now everyone knows the secret.
Additionally, her own team mates have to feel a little sleighted by her. Can you say, "ball hog"! That's great, she's going to Rutgers, can you play with the team and make your other team mates play well enough to support you?
Flash in the pan, you'll see.
