Official Attacked

Florida player slams ref to court in violent altercation - Prep Rally - High School - Yahoo! Sports

The officials did forfeit the game, and were wise to do so imo. The report said that the player has already been suspended for the rest of the season, so his school was quick to act. In another report that I read, the high school governing body was said to be in the process of acting also. I would also doubt very much that criminal charges won't be pressed. Sad situation.

The player's coach certainly seems to be as disturbed about it as everybody else is. I have no idea what the coach is actually like...not knowing the man..but it certainly sounds like there should be absolutely no blame attached to him.

From reports that I've gleaned off the net, the general consensus was that the game was well-officiated up to that point and there's no finger-pointing being made at the officials (which in itself is as unusual as hell).

A tough situation well handled by the guys imo.

I assume that a friend request is a Facebook thing. I wouldn't know, since I don't have Facebook.

Yes, it's a Facebook thing. Some just automatically accept friend requests, others have to grant permission for the friend request to happen.
