First of all the officials were not looking at the clock and had no clue. Correct me if I am wrong, but in high school can an official add time like that? There is no way he would know wat to reset it too.

Here's 5-10-1
The referee may correct an obvious mistake by the timer to start or stop the clock properly only when he/she has definite information relative to the time involved. The exact time observed by the official may be placed on the clock.
...and 5-10-2
If the referee determines that the clock malfunctioned or was not started/stopped properly, or if the clock did not run, an official's count or other official information may be used to make a correction.
I agree with JugglingRef, it's hard to believe 1/10 of a second ran off the clock on a travel.
