I can see making the other team have to score but to press when your up by 59 points is wrong:loser:.You would think the Refs would have said some thing at half time:icon_smile_blackeye
Aero,


Being an IHSAA official myself there is nothing as an official they could have done "officially". If the game was played under National Federation High School rules, there is no mercy rule and no running clock.

As an official I would try to discuss the situation with both coaches but if the "winning":loser: coach didn't have enough decency to "call off the dogs" then I am sure my conversation would have fallen on deaf ears.:doh:

I would have hated to be an official calling that game. How anyone could feel good about the actions of that coach is beyond me.:headbang As a parent of a player on the "winning" team, I would be appalled. I got angry just reading the article.
