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

North Ohio College Prep sent out a statement Thursday about the game.

"While the final score did not result in our favor, the entire I CAN SCHOOLS network of campuses is extremely proud of the comradery, and sportsmanship that our team displayed during and after the game. At Northeast Ohio college Preparatory School, our scholars are taught to embody respect, responsibility, and relentlessness. 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."
