Then I agree with you. I can think of no actual "emergency" that would result in the officials or coaches wanting to just shorten the quarters.
Many states have unofficial mercy rules, especially at subV. In Texas, at Varsity, I've never seen or heard of a game shortened or a running clock instituted (exception for 6-man)... but have been involved in numerous subV games where the clock ran in the 4th quarter or even 2nd half.
