2 officials were hurt during the game between visiting Fairmont and Springfield last friday night. An ex-official (and friend) who attended, said that Springfld intercepted a ball mid field near their own bench, and that some play continued after the whistle was blown, which caused some Springfld bench players to rush the field. Seeing that, Fairmont players ran across the field to defend teammates. 1 Sprngfld player was ejected(helmet off and swinging it) and Sprngfld removed another player from the game.
Pictures in Sat and Sun papers show an official bending over, injured, saying he had been hit in the head.
Both schools AD's give statements to downplay their teams actions, with Sprngfld's AD saying (stupidly) that they will appeal the suspension...
