Did Brandon High School violate any laws or rules by allowing this to happen? My son was on the visiting team from Rochester, and a few of us were appalled by this.
Check and see if your state has rules covering the situation. I doubt very much that anyone here could give you any kind of definitive answer. It's really outside our area of expertise.

I do know that most school insurance policies will still cover whoever the school designates to officiate, so I doubt that the there was no coverage for your team or your son. I'm not a lawyer though.
