If true (and I take this information with ALL the grains of salt in existence), then some business should've been taken care of before the start of the game.

Tension was high inside Griffith's gym all night, as there was a lot of trash talking and pushing and shoving between the younger players in the junior varsity game.

If refs had worked the JV game prior the the varsity game (or talked to the JV refs if they were only working the varsity game), they might've been able to get attention of players/coaches during the pregame... the phrase "handing out Ts like candy" comes to mind.
With all that said, however, I do not blame the officials for what happened... sometimes there's just nothing you can do.
