I would agree with this at the professional or even college level to an extent. Still, even on those levels you generally see more sportsmanship than what was shown here. Then again, I'm a teacher and tend to find things like sportsmanship important when kids are young, and they are still young in HS. They could have not pressed and still probably one 120-2 or something like that. It seems that would be sufficient to consider it 'excelling'. I grew up playing volleyball and in some of our leagues if we were playing a weaker team we would forget the jump serves and even work on placement at times instead of just hammering spikes away on people. So instead of embarrassing some poor dude I could still hammer a pretty solid overhand serve that would be difficult to return or even work on some spin serves or something else. The winning coach could have used this to work on various things, zone defenses, girls playing different positions, etc.... Things that could benefit his team while not showing up the other team.
