A high school girls basketball game in Ohio ended with a brutal final score of 108-1.

Don't wipe your glasses -- you read that correctly. Gilmour Academy pummeled Northeast Ohio College Prep by 107 points in a Division III sectional playoff game Wednesday night.

Gilmour's coach says don't blame him for the 107-point margin of victory.

"Our intent was to not run anything up, and we took steps to not disrespect our opponent," Gilmour coach Bob Beutel told Cleveland.com. "They went 0-for-28 from the field and 1-for-4 from the free-throw line. We let them shoot."

Maybe there's something to that. According to tweets from one Gilmour fan at the game, the halftime score was 72-1 -- making the second half a relatively modest 36-0 shutout.

Gilmour is ranked third in the Cleveland.com girls top 25, according to the Ohio news site, while Northeast Ohio College Prep is a 400-student public charter school that finished the season with a record of 1-12.

"At Northeast Ohio College Preparatory School, our scholars are taught to embody respect, responsibility, and relentlessness," the losing school said in a statement released Thursday. "All three characteristics were on display yesterday. We faced an incredibly talented team, and we congratulate Gilmour Academy on their victory and pursuit of a championship."
