What if one or both teams had a few players left (2 or more) but the officials ended the game at that point anyway?

Camron:

I know that we are payed the big dollars to make these sort of decisions but it is my humble opinion that in both of the cases that you described I would suspend the game, file a game report with the StateHSAA and let people in pay grades far above mine settle the situation.
