It's not and I highly doubt it's 6 miles. But it makes a titillating story. It's why Nancy Grace still has a job.

Agreed. I don't think kids are necessarily as lazy or as entitled as some of us think. I think they have strong ideas on when they are or are not being treated fairly.
All comes down to your definition of a "pole". Typically it is from foul pole to foul pole along the outfield fence. Assuming from 1 foul pole to another is counted as 1, and a 200' field, if you do the math 100 "poles" it is just shy of six miles.

Loss in the opening round game? Sounds like 200 poles to me.
Which brings up the next question. What are the "hills" they are running? A small hill on the side of the school, or Mt Everest?
This is starting to make me think the larger number is there to make it less attractive and seem more harsh, but the distance is less than we are lead to believe. My DD has been clocked throwing 98, but the sad fact is that's in KPH. 98 sounds better.
Given the excessive nature of the consequences I expect it is more BS and bluster than true expectations. Which of course becomes a real issue once there is a transgression and the punishment as described is not delivered at which point any remaining credibility goes out the window.
It all comes down to reality, not "my" definition. It appears know one here has any idea what that is so instead lets fill in the blanks with gibberish.

Regardless of what may or may not be true regarding the punishments... the results are undeniable. In addition to being a top team in the state they are recognized by the NFCA as an All Academic Scholar Athlete team & All- America Scholar Athletes.
