SMITH CENTER, Kan. -- Smith Center scored 72 points in the first quarter of a high school football game Tuesday night on the way to an 86-0 win over Plainville, according to a report in the Salina, Kan., Journal.
Smith Center forced six turnovers in the first quarter as it racked up what is believed to be a record for points in a quarter by a high school team, the paper reported. The previous record was 66 by Prescott, Ariz., in 1925.
The defending state champion has outscored its opponents 640-0 so far this season, including a 69-0 win over Plainville earlier this year.

That's funny. I fear what would happen if Belicheat found this out.
Smith Center, a 2-1A school of about 150 students in north central Kansas, is known for its high school football. In 30 years at Smith Center, Barta has compiled a record of 269-58. His teams have won six state championships, including each of the past three. The Redmen are currently on a 50-game winning streak, and this year they've outscored their nine opponents by an average margin of 71-0 and a total score of 640-0. They have yet to punt.
How is that possible? 640-0? Are the other high schoolers fielding 3rd graders or something? How the hell have they not allowed a single point?
The better question is how can a team be so bad as to cough the ball up 6 times and allow 72 points in the same quarter?
They won the toss and fumbled the next 6 plays, each fumble returned for a touchdown. One minute into the game they were down 48 to nothing. I don't know, just guessing, but you'd almost have to think that it is physically impossible to score 72 points in a HS quarter.
