bench-clearing brawl in state final

[A Pennsylvania Coach]

I've read several articles now, and I've seen a few quotes from state officials talking about how they wouldn't have had any players left to finish the game if they ejected everyone who came off the bench. That confuses me; both players had five in the game. Toss the fighter and all the bench personnel, and finish the game 4 v 5. The PIAA blows a lot of smoke about the importance of sportsmanship, then when they have their best chance to drive home the point, they choose to pass.
