Gotta love those games in that town

Lot's of good advice already given. At the CIFL level, the coaches can file a complaint to the controlling board and the board will look into it. Had a fight broken out, I wouldn't try to officiate or get involved. Let coaches and administration handle the situation. Our jurisdiction has ended when the clock reads 0:00 and the referee has declared the game over.

Had this happened in a high school game and a fight had broken out, I would have submitted a special report to the IHSA but clearly, game officials don't have the authority to eject those who might fight. Circle up the crew and get out of Dodge. Let game management and those who were hired to provide security handle the situation.

Hope this helps!
