There is no mention in the article that there was an official game being played or that there were referees present. The fact that this occurred on a Thursday at 7:30 A.M. makes that very unlikely. This was probably an accident that happened because a bunch of kids were messing around on the elementary school playground and possibly climbing on or swinging from a soccer goal.
I see no connection whatsoever with the conduct of referees during a HS event. It would be nice if you would stop implying that HS referees are somehow at fault for the deaths of young children such as this one.
