If there's no mercy rule, or running clock rule, I'm not sure what the officials could have done.

But while I don't like to blame 17 and 18 year old kids, and the coach shoulders the ultimate responsibillity for this disgusting travesty, you do have to wonder why the team captains didn't just get together and agree among themselves to take their foot off the throttle a bit.
