▍原文
A Long Island football coach has been reprimanded after his team thrashed another high school 61-13 in a game.
Plainedge High School’s head coach, Rob Shaver, was suspended for one game after violating the local county “lopsided scores policy”.
Under the rule, coaches have to explain their winning margin to a committee if it exceeds more than 42 points.
The policy has been in place for three years and is intended to prevent poor sportsmanship.
