This happened to me in a junior high game my first or second year. One team had about 12 players and was very good -- the other had five players and all five of them were horrible.
The visiting team (with five players) fouled a lot because they were not very good, so sometime in the third quarter one of the players fouled out. The score was very lopsided at this point and the home coach said to let that player remain in the game. I didn't even think about it and allowed the player to stay in -- it was the right think to do, imho.
At the high school and lower levels I think that we have to remember that it is about the kids -- not the game. A little common sense can go a long way even when we do something that is not technically by the book.
