Pregame they had 9 players. Opening kickoff the ambulance took one of them off with a possible neck injury. Midway through the 2nd quarter with the score 40-0 another kid got hurt. During the opening series of the 3rd quarter they had the ball and another kid got hurt, and the coach came out rather than going to the injured player he came towards me and asked if we could just call the game as official at that point.
The oppossing coach wanted to get his JV kids in for a series so he refused.

Okay, by my count, the winning coach wanted his jv squad to get a series against 6 players. Or did the injured players continue to play?
