It was and I still think it is considered and unsportsmanlike act by the FHSAA.
Their idea is, let them play.

Unsportsmanlike to save a shred of your kids' collective dignity? Yes, I guess it is much better for them to face a 29-0 humiliation. That is so much more sporting!!!

Now now now...let's calm down boys.

I keep hearing all this weird crap about the state kittykorner from WA, and especially the FHSAA...

Here in WA, the WIAA is adamant about each district/conference/whatever to establish its own game-ending procedure. The only place WIAA has any say in the game-ending procedure is at the state tournaments, where it is 10 after 5.

I have also heard ugly stories up here about a team winning a blowout several years ago. They were stepping off bases, swinging at any pitch, etc. They lost via forfeit because they were not attempting to play the game properly or some such. So...there is precedent up here for a team being way ahead and losing the game via some namby-pamby forfeit.
