OLIVET - Shutouts happen in baseball, hockey and football. But basketball?

The Leslie High School girls\' basketball team failed to score a single point in a 61-0 loss to Olivet on Tuesday night.

Leslie\'s players missed all 24 of their shots from the field and all four foul shots. The Blackhawks (0-13) entered averaging 15 points a game, with their highest output this season 22.

Olivet (14-0) is ranked third in the state in Class C and already beat Leslie 56-9 this season.

``The whole bus ride home, I couldn\'t believe it,\'\' Leslie coach Jay Harkness told The Jackson Citizen Patriot. ``We missed layups. We missed 2-footers. Everything that could go wrong did.\'\'

The funniest part is that they will all get really pumped when they score their first points of the next game, even if the score is 50-2. That is, if they score any points in the next game. I mean come on, draw a foul or something.

For the record my career driveway/courtyard field goal percentage is 78-of-5,647, including 1-of-765 from three-point range. But you should have seen the one three I nailed. Work of beauty.

Finnaly, a team worthy of playing the knicks...
